Product Description

From Amazon.com

If Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band were a playground basketball team they'd be the one made up of local legends that don't have as much spring in their legs as the young bucks, but get by on guts and guile. Culled from the two Madison Square Garden shows that closed out the revived E Street Band's 1999-2000 road show, this 20-song collection deftly entwines fan favorites with fresher material, including two new offerings, the stately "Land of Hope and Dreams" and the solemn "American Skin"--the latter prompted by the shooting of unarmed New Yorker Amadou Diallo by police officers. When Springsteen and company (including both Miami Steve Van Zandt and his successor, Nils Lofgren, on guitar) look back, they temper the force of the original arrangements with ingenuity and a sense of spacing. The E Street Band in their heyday may have served up four-hour marathons, but they felt stopwatch-tight. Here Springsteen reconciles his rocker and reflective sides as "The River" curves along through a serpentine course, "Mansion on the Hill" is given a curious (albeit lovely) Hawaiian treatment, and "Born in the U.S.A." resurfaces as a deep-blues lament. The gang can still muster a take-no-prisoners attack, as witnessed by the hard-charging likes of "Two Hearts" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out." --Steven Stolder

I have read the reviews and for the most part they are very good. I'm giving this CD 5 stars on the basis of one song. I think "Mansion on the Hill" on this CD is one of the most beautiful country songs I have ever heard..... PERFECT.

This review is from: Live In New York (W/2 New Tracks) (2CD) (Audio CD)
A live album like this one has been missing from Bruce Springsteen's catalogue. More restrained than the 3-hour "Live 1975-85", and, well, better than "MTV (un)Plugged", "Live In New York" really shows what an evening out with Bruce and the Band is like.

There aren't too many single hits here, rather a collection of fan favorites and obscurities, so "Live In New York" is probably not for the most casual Springsteen fans.
But more experienced fans will be delighted by tough, sweaty, sincere renditions of "Out In The Street", "Prove It All Night", "Badlands", "Two Hearts" and many more, and the two new songs are excellent, particularly "41 Shots".

An uncredited "Born To Run" is tucked away on disc 1, and it sounds great, filled with urgency and conviction. The E-Street Band is magnificent, and Springsteen's vocals are good, too (even if he sounds a little out of breath on a couple of occations). Listen to his almost-acapella rendition of the first two verses of "Mansion On The Hill", and the sincerity with which he delivers the solemn "American Skin (41 Shots)".
(And his gospel preacher-bit during "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" is pretty funny.)

This may not be an essential addition to Bruce Springsteen's catalogue, and the casual admirer will find that the hits are missing (which they are), but if you're a fan it's hard not to warm to this raw, sincere performance.
