Columbia Records To Release 'Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live In Dublin' June 5 On DVD And In 2-CD Set
Concert Features 23 Songs
From November, 2006
Columbia Records will release 'Bruce
Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin' June 5, a concert
DVD, and separate two-CD set release. The two-CD set and DVD both feature
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.
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, rock, down to and 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 DVD and CD 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."
'Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin' was produced
by George Travis and produced and edited by Emmy Award winner Thom Zimny,
who recently took home a Grammy Award for directing "Wings For Wheels:
The Making Of Born To Run," a DVD in the acclaimed 'Born To Run' box
set.
Legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain mixed the DVD in both stereo and 5.1
surround sound. Bob Ludwig mastered the DVD and CD at Gateway Studios.
Documented with nine cameras, the concert was filmed in High Definition
(HD).
