Bruce has been busy creating music that his fans are loving, including me. This week, you'll hear about London Calling and The Promise. This blog will be devoted to London Calling, so stay tuned for Part 2 on The Promise later this week.
London Calling is the two-disc DVD of Bruce's live concert in Hyde Park London. Named for the epic hit by band The Clash, that Bruce covers as the opening song of his concert spectacular. The concert is amazing to say the least, and is one of Bruce's most entertaining performances. Bruce launches into Badlands, Night and She's the One to get the crowd pumped (successfully). Outlaw Pete, from Bruce's latest album Working on A Dream becomes an epic anthem when performed live with the E Street Band. Working On A Dream and some classic Bruce (Youngstown, Bobby Jean, No Surrender). I love the renditions of songs from Darkness on the Edge of Town (Promised Land, Racing in the Streets), these never fail to impress the crowd.
Disc Two kicks of with The Rising and Born to Run, with the classic crowd chanting. Rosalita usually only comes out when democrats are in the White House, but perhaps Bruce's buddy Obama convinced Rosie. Rosie didn't disappoint, as usual with a fantastic performance from the whole band. What concert would be complete without the epic Jungleland? Bruce delivers a performance that is, as always, epic and beautiful. The amazing concert ends with some classic Born in the USA tracks: Glory Days and Dancing in the Dark. The reaction of the crowd is nothing short of amazed, inspired and thoroughly content with the amazing performance they have just witnessed. Bonus tracks include The River (Glastonbury 2009) and Wreckin Ball (Giants Stadium 2009).
Stay tuned for The Promise and keep on listening...
