Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band - Live In Dublin (Blu-ray Disc)
Bruce Springsteen is certainly no stranger to acoustic-based, folk-inspired music. So it`s not a shock that he would release a tribute album to folk icon Pete Seeger with 2006`s WE SHALL OVERCOME: THE SEEGER SESSIONS. The album celebrates not just Seeger`s musical influence, but also the political stands the singer took, which obviously resonate with the famously progressive Springsteen. And while the E Street Band may be absent, Bruce tackles Seeger`s tunes in classic larger-than-life Boss style, with a huge band that includes several string players, a horn section, accordion, and more. Incorporating everything from Dixieland to zydeco into the folk/blues template, Bruce stirs up a rowdy cauldron of Americana teeming with as much pure human passion as social import. This program captures the Boss performing many of the album`s tracks in a live concert recorded at Dublin`s The Point during a three-night stand in November 2006. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
