    I gotta say, you guys really have the funniest paper out there in the NyPost. Big fan. Better, funnier headlines and wittier writing than we have with the Herald.

    London Calling DVD due June 22

    Today's press release:

    COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND'S 'LONDON CALLING: LIVE IN HYDE PARK' CONCERT FILM ON JUNE 22

    RELEASE MARKS FIRST SPRINGSTEEN OUTDOOR CONCERT FILM AND FIRST FROM A FESTIVAL SETTING

    On June 22, Columbia Records will release Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's London Calling: Live In Hyde Park concert film on one Blu-Ray disc and as a two DVD set. Captured in London at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 28, 2009 in HD, the 163-minute film documents 26 tracks of live Springsteen that begin in daylight and progress through a gorgeous sunset
    into night.

    London Calling: Live In Hyde Parkconveys both the experience of being on-stage and the vast crowd experience of the festival environment. Viewers are able to see Springsteen spontaneously directing the E Street Band and shaping the show as it evolves.

    The set list spans from Born to Run era to Working on a Dream and includes rare covers such as The Clash's "London Calling," Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Eddie Floyd's "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen also performs fan favorite "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," written by Stephen Foster in 1854. Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem joins the band as a guest vocalist on Springsteen's own "No Surrender."

    The concert earned rave reviews. The London Times called it "epic" and "a revved-up three-hour power drive through Springsteen's America." The Independent concurred, "He awed the 50,000-strong crowd... Drenched in sweat by the second number, tossing his guitars to the roadies with the vigour of
    a frontman a third of his age and jogging down a walkway to meet his fans and take their requests, Springsteen's intensity was staggering from first powerful vocal to final thrashed-out chord."

    GRAMMY and Emmy Award-winning producer and editor Thom Zimny and director Chris Hilson, both members of Springsteen's video team dating back over a decade, oversaw the film. Audio was mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

    Bonus material includes stunning footage of "The River" from Glastonbury, June 27; and the full music video for "Wrecking Ball," filmed at New Jersey's Giants Stadium.

    Bout time!!! Though I was at that London show, I was really hoping for a Giants Stadium DVD. Now it looks like it'll never get released this year. Oh well, at least we got the Darkness box set.

    I was at that show, was my first Springsteen concert, and I thought it was incredible.

    Bit miffed they seem to have omitted Rosalita, though... :?

    Lotta people said Bruce's voice was shot, but I thought it was great. It was not like he couldn't sing at all. Night followed by She's The One was amazing.

    At least theyre including that snippet from Giants,

    I can't say I noticed either!

    I went to see Neil Young the night before, went back to my hotel room, watched Bruce at Glastonbury (got myself totally psyched up!!!!) and thought his performance the next day was even better than that.

    I went over to the Backstreets (Springsteen fansite) forum yesterday, and was totally disgusted by the amount of negativity about this release over there. It's absolutely shocking, I don't think I'll bother going back.

    Makes you appreciate the "TOUR DATES?!?!?!?!??!!" posts over here a bit more, when that's all we really seem to complain about... :lol:

    THE 9TH ANNUAL ELLIS ISLAND FAMILY HERITAGE AWARDS
    A Celebration of the American Dream
    Thursday, April 22, 2010
    11 A.M. Great Hall, Ellis Island Immigration Museum

    The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation presents the Ellis Island Family Heritage Awards to celebrate the Golden Door to America for the 17 million immigrants who came to this country through the Port of New York and Ellis Island. The B.C. Forbes Peopling of America® Award, sponsored by the Forbes Family, honors the lives of immigrants who arrived at another time or through another port of entry. Annually, the Foundation chooses a select number of these immigrants or their descendants and celebrates the major contributions they have made to this "Nation of Immigrants."


    Honoring:

    ENTERTAINMENT
    Bruce Springsteen — His recording career spans more than thirty years, beginning with 1973's Columbia Records release 'Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ.' He has released twenty-four albums, garnered nineteen Grammy Awards, won an Oscar, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and is a 2009 recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. His maternal grandfather Antonio Zerilli immigrated to America through Ellis Island from Italy in 1900.

    That's pretty cool
    I saw pictures of him with his Mom and Aunts accepting the award on Yahoo - she must be so proud

    seeing him & his Mom dance together onstage in Philly was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen

    TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION
    Just a month and a half after our April 1 goofing around had Springsteen and Lady Gaga performing together, fantasy became reality last night. At Carnegie Hall for Sting and Trudie Styler's annual Rainforest Foundation benefit, Bruce shared the stage with Ms. Gaga, (as well as Elton John, Sting, Debby Harry, Shirley Bassey, and eventually, a troupe of jockey shorts-clad male dancers) for Journey’s "Don't Stop Believin'." (No kidding — remember, this is the same anything-goes event where Bruce played "I'm Turning Into Elvis" back in 1995.) For all the surreality, it's cool to see the Boss holding it all together, singing the "payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time" line, and taking that solo at the end.


    newsRainforest.jpg

    And that ain't the half of it. After Sting introduced Springsteen as a surprise guest toward the end of the night, Bruce performed a radically reworked "Dancing in the Dark" followed by — believe it! — Bryan Adams' "Cuts Like a Knife." Of the latter, the New York Daily News' Jim Farber writes that Springsteen "turned it from a toy-rock bauble into a Solomon Burke-like slice of soul." "Don't Stop Believin'" came next as the night's grand finale (see video above) — how could anyone follow that?

    CATCH LONDON CALLING ON THE SILVER SCREEN
    As they have before with Springsteen's concert films, Emerging Pictures are providing fans the opportunity to see the new London Calling: Live in Hyde Park on the big screen in advance of its June 22 DVD release date. A 90-minute version of the film will be showing at art house cinemas around the U.S. (and, appropriately enough, in London). In the case of non-profit theaters, the screenings will benefit the venues themselves; otherwise, box office proceeds will go to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance.

    Emerging Pictures' Barry Rebo (you've seen his own archival footage of Bruce in the Wings For Wheels documentary) says: "Needless to say we're thrilled — speaking for both Emerging and our venue partners — to be able to offer support for a diverse group of community-based cultural venues as well as promote added awareness of The Danny Fund and the Melanoma Research Alliance’s important work, and appreciate the help of Bruce Springsteen, Landau Management, and Sony Music.... With the warm weather just now coming on, it's especially timely to warn folks about the dangers of the sun. For sheer joyousness, an outdoor Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band experience is perfection."

    the big screen experience and bruce dont let you down!
    Even if only an abbreviated 80 minutes ,
    us Americans sure can take away something from that British crowds lead !
    :shock:

    It was humungous out there,
    they are some real troopers to endure what they had to , for so long ,
    in that massive clusterfuck of a crowd.
    Bruce clearly didnt care for the huge ammount of space between his stage and the crowd- it limited some of his usual interactions with them . Not to mention the huge staircase up and down ( he needs an elevator ) :lol:

    Bruce and the entire band were spot on,
    Little Steven couldnt contain himself during the usual schtick , ( " over curfew- Boss time " :lol: )
    And there may have ben a time where the boys may have dyed their hairdos, but evidently , theyre going gray nowadays - especially Bruce and Max )

    The Big man is looking more and more fraile onstage , everytime you see him, ugh ! I felt an element of sadness here because clearly this cant keep going on , for too much longer.

    Cant wait to see the rest when my DVD package arrives.
    The Gaslight Anthem guy makes an appearance, which we didnt get to see tonight at the screening .
