The Best of Bruce
Although I was not a fan of Bruce Springsteen in his heyday, I discovered his music on PBS. This CD is well worth listening and re-listening to. Highly recommend!

Turned this punk into a Boss fan
Springsteen was always implanted in my head as a near mock artist when I was young. The 80's and my parents obsession, along with his top hits of the time "Born in the USA" and "Dancing in the Dark" were of no interest to me as a teenager. A few years ago, someone handed me Nebraska. I put it in the car for a long road trip, and within 2 months, had scrambled to collect all the Boss I could. ...

The Black and White concert
This is musical joy at its finest! I first saw the Black and White Concert on the Atlanta PBS station when I was traveling from Dallas to Atlanta in 2009. I stumbled on it one evening, bored out of my mind sitting in the Holiday Inn, Quality Inn, or whatever it was. The concert was being used as a fundraiser as the PBS stations are wont to do ... but it was awesome to hear! You can tell that no ...

THe Boss - Simply as that!!!!
Thanks Bruce - actually my days should have additional three hours so I could begin everyday with that concert. I said before after attending several of your concerts - your music and your performances together with the fabulous E-Street Band give me strength. You always have been and always will be my working class saint! I love you man!

POWERFUL!!!
Admittedly not a huge Bruce fan, although I've always loved Thunder Road. Elvis Costello mentioned this album along with E Street Shuffle when he interviewed Springsteen on his show Spectacle. Elvis gushed over them. So I bought both cd's. Not too crazy about E Street. Put this on....WOW! one reviewer mentioned a religious experience..yeah, that's pretty close to it for me.I had already heard at ...

Social Commentary Masquerading As Slick Pop Music
BORN IN THE U.S.A. is the most slickly produced album of Springteen's career, a direct reaction to the backlash he got from critics over the sparse, haunting NEBRASKA, Bruce's brilliant, bare-bones acoustic masterpiece. Don't be fooled, however, by the huge production and slick pop arrangements; BORN IN THE U.S.A. finds Bruce at his most political, writing scathing recession-fueled indictments ...

Great compilation
Good intro or retrospective for those who don't already have a collection; good set of new songs for those who do.

Defining Moment
It was the summer of 1975. I was entering my senior year in college. And popular music was languishing, still not recovered from the breakup of the Beatles in 1970. The music charts included such hits as "My Eyes Adored You" by Franki Valli, "Mandy" by Barry Manilow and "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain and Tenille. The critics, just like myself, were waiting for the next "big thing" in ...

The pinnacle
I'm gonna get hung upside down for this, I know, but, for me personally, this was and remains Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's finest hour. One of the reasons is that the songs just seem to flow out of the Boss here; he's dealing with people and subjects with which he SOUNDS at ease, and on both the exhuberant songs ("Out In The Street," "Crush On You," "Hungry Heart") and the ...

Great Entertainment
I am not a Bruce Springsteen fan and had not purchased any of his CDs or DVDs before. While visiting my sister, she raved about the Live in Dublin DVD. She has good taste in music so I decided to buy the DVD with some trepidation. As soon as it arrived, I watched it and was amazed. I can't remember the last time that I saw such a phenomenal collection of great musicians on the stage together ...

Great Music
I had the old VHS version and I loaned it to someone who never returned it. No problem, thanks to Amazon, I was able to buy one at a great price. I got it before Mr. Jackson passed away and still enjoy watching it. I think this is the longer version that was on HBO. I'm not sure...I have both. There were two...one shorter one that had only the end result. And the long one that showed all ...

Great flick
We saw this in the theater and loved it. Now we order copies to give to friends. Pete Seeger is an American original and a pioneer in fighting for the rights of others. Well worth seeing and owning.

It either resonates or it doesn't.
The folks who nay-say the Boss usually go for the throat with remarks like, "sentimental, pretentious, one-dimesional, etc.," but, to me, those and similar adjectives could describe much of popular music anyway, expecially these days. I think that unless you're talking about field recordings, most of the "music has to be authentic" arguments are a shuck. Music doesn't HAVE to be anything except ...

I listened to this on July 4 and felt patriotic.
This is an incredible collection. Other songs I would love to hear Bruce Springsteen and this group of musicians perform include "Sweet Betsy from Pike," "Red River Valley," "The Bluetail Fly," and some New England sea chanteys.
