Greg S This is an absolutely spellbinding performance that grips you from the minute Springsteen opens his mouth. The beautifully heartfelt recollections of the chapters of his life are delivered poetically, sincerely, humorously and theatrically at times. His memories become emotionally supercharged versions of the songs we all know and love and the manner in which each element is laced together creates a truly indelible viewing experience which makes you feel almost as lucky as those in front of the stage. As an artist who's image seems to go hand in hand with an ensemble of incredible musicians and hundreds of thousands of screaming fans, a deeply personal and intimate showcase like this feels all the more special. It not only provided a vivid background to the legend himself but it took me on a little trip down memory lane of my own - his nostalgia is infectious! Storytelling and musicianship at its finest, these 2 and some hours will burn past once you get comfortable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review harrison r Really interesting for Springsteen fans and songwriters alike. Great that he admits to being a giant poseur at the beginning. Some cool obscure songs, and decent performances of classics, too. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm of mixed minds about this. He does what he does well, but for my taste almost a little too well. His talk in-between songs seemed at times a little too perfect, with every word scripted for effect, and every voice fluctuation in its right place to milk the reaction from the audience that he was shooting for... so a bit too contrived for me. That said, he is clearly a master musician and songwriter, and his performance of these songs in a solo (or sometimes duet) form was nice to hear. I wasn't formerly aware of his skill as a piano player, which he did with great skill and nuance here. I also appreciated that he didn't approach this as a greatest hits performance. Is it good? Yep. Is it also a little forced and pandering? Yep. Did he do it better than I could? Ohhh, Yes! :) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review mccane m The man is charming, entertaining, funny, and moving - couple this with The Boss' incredible musicianship, and you get one fun show. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I had the good fortune to see this show live. While nothing could top the live experience, this special captures the range of emotions that Springsteen masterfully delivers through his music and storytelling. This special is a real gift. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely brilliant. I was lucky enough to attend one of the shows and they somehow captured intimate, sitting around the campfire feel that the in person show had. Add in Bruce's story about his father before Long Time Comin' and what you have is a total masterpiece that can only come from Bruce Springsteen.
