Description:
Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin' features 23 songs drawn from the band's performances in Dublin, Ireland at The Point on November 17, 18 and 19, 2006. Songs include fan favorites from 'The Seeger Sessions,' radical interpretations from the Springsteen songbook and rare songs appearing for the first time on any Springsteen release. This Blu-ray Disc captures the band during the finale of its multi-leg 2006 tour. Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau said, ''Live in Dublin' charts the development of a band from an informal gathering in Bruce's living room to an onstage powerhouse. It also documents the growth in Bruce's vision of American music; it includes folk music, blues, Dixieland, country, swing, gospel, and rock, down to including his own writing. It's all performed with Bruce's classic energy and focus. I think it's some of the finest music he's ever made.'
The Blu-ray Disc captures the band during the finale of its multi-leg 2006 tour. The Word Magazine (UK) said of a concert on this tour, 'I have never, make that NEVER, seen a show better than the one mounted by Bruce Springsteen and his band at Wembley Arena on Saturday, November 11, 2006.' The Sunday Business Post Agenda (UK), in a 5 star review, said, 'During the concert's numerous high points, the crowd was ecstatic and Springsteen was the preacher, spreading a welcome message: We're open all night.'
Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band's tour last year prompted other incredible reviews. 'Sometime, somewhere, a more dramatic and exhilarating confluence of music with moment may have existed... But in nearly 40 years of concert-going, I haven't witnessed one,' said LA Times. The Washington Post declared, 'It was the best live show I've seen in at least five years. (And I've seen a few.)' Meanwhile, The Independent (UK), said, 'It's been an astonishingly rich evening.' The Observer (UK) proclaimed, 'Springsteen and the Seeger Session band were an inspiring triumph.
Documented with nine cameras, the concert was filmed in High Definition (HD).

Rating:  - I don't usually like live recordings, but...
I saw this on PBS and it was amazing...so I ordered myself a copy of the DVD after enjoying the CD for a while. I'm not normally a fan of life recordings (even Springsteen's), but this is different. The band is having a great time, the music is amazing, sound quality is excellent. The "Sessions Band" is not the same as the E-Street Band, and though both are great, this is a unique treat.
Rating:  - Yawn
I'm a fan of folk music and classic Springsteen but it was a chore to sit through this DVD. No one can question the musical skill or energy of this performance. The engineering production was also very good.
But the performance was conceptually flawed in my opinion. Most of the folk tunes would have sounded better solo or with a minimal accompaniment. Instead we get a huge band with a huge sound that seemed out of place to me. Simple tunes can easily lose their simple charm under ... Read More
Rating: - A great performance
This Blu-Ray DVD is a joy and view and to listent to. Unlike some performance DVD's Bruce and Dublin Session band are fun to watch. Everyone is having a great time and performance is rock solid. Now this is NOT the E Street Band. They perform a few songs from the E Street Band catalog but the majority is from the Seeger sessions and other solo material. So if you expecting an E Street Band type of performance your going to in for a surprise. I enjoy seeing Bruce stretch out and he's obviously having ... Read More

I have ever enjoyed.
