Released in 2001, Anthology is a re-issue of the VHS originally available in 1989. It contains 13 additional videos. Included are videos directed by Arthur Rosato, Jonathan Demme, (Streets of Phila & If I Should Fall Behind), Sean Penn (Highway Patrolman), and others. It includes songs from the years 1978 through 2000. The 2 hour 45 minute DVD is a must for every collector. The official realease announcement can be viewed at Springsteen's Official Website. More extensive production information is available on my Springsteen DVD page. You'll love watching the energy of his performance from 1978 as the band does a great rendition of Rosie. You'll recognize several of the videos (Glory Days, Dancing in the Dark, War) from their MTV broadcast days. Highway Patrolman consists of scenes from Sean Penn's directorial debut, "Indian Runner", which told the story of Joe Roberts and his errant brother Frankie. You'll also be impressed by the solos done by several band members in the "If I Should Fall Behind" video, including Clarence Clemmons.

Like some mystery uncovered

Blood Brothers
Bruce Sprinsteen & the E Street Band

(Columbia, 1996, 2001)

"I wanted to introduce my music to younger fans, who for 12 bucks
could get a pretty good view of what I've done over the years. And to
my older fans I wanted to say, "this still means something to me now.
You still mean something to me now. It was just kind of my way of
re-affirming my relationship with my fans, and with my band".
This documentary chronicles recording sessions for songs included on the 1995 Triple Platinum CD "Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits," and captures Springsteen in the studio with The E Street Band for the first time since their work on 1984's "Born In The U.S.A." The DVD features interactive menus, lyrics, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and additional special features. "Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band: Blood Brothers" premiered on The Disney Channel March 3, 1996. TV Guide described the documentary as"superlative", and added: "Ernie Fritz's film is more than a record of a legendary band's reunion. It offers a glimpse of Springsteen that fans rarely see". "Blood Brothers" was released on VHS on November 19, 1996. A double-sided laser disc version of the film was first released on October 1, 1996. "Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band: Blood Brothers" features music from the songs "Blood Brothers", High Hopes", "This Hard Land", "Back In Your Arms Again" and "Without You", as well as music videos for "Murder Incorporated" and "Secret Garden".

That come the twilight, should we lose our way
If as we're walkin', a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me".
The long awaited "live album" from the June/July 2000 Madison Square Garden shows is due to be released on April 3rd, 2001. It will serve as the soundtrack for an HBO special, scheduled to be broadcast on April 7th, 2001 at 9:00pm (ET). ( A DVD of the HBO special is also anticipated.) All songs from the release were recorded on the final two nights, June 29 and July 1st, 2000, of the MSG stand, which closed out Springsteen's 1999-2000 world tour. I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for the final show, and it was a performance I will never forget. Two new songs, "Land of Hopes and Dreams", and "American Skin" will world premier on the soundtrack. "American Skin" is the haunting song which refers to the tragedy of the Diallo shooting in New York City by members of the NYPD. He sings of the violence, fear and mistrust prevalent on the streets of America, on both ends of the gun barrel. The song, both heralded and condemned, makes a poignant statement about American society. Springsteen also performs "Lost in the Flood", a tune from his first album, "Greetings From Asbury Park New Jersey". ( I might add, grinning humbly, that I predicted that the song would be played on July 1st).

"This train carries saints and sinners
This train carries losers and winners
This train carries whores and gamblers
This train carries midnight ramblers
This train carries broken-hearted
This train carries souls departed
This train, dreams will not be thwarted
This train, faith will be rewarded
This train, carries fools and kings
This train, hear the big wheels singing
This train, bells of freedom ringing"
Bruce & the Band's first tour in ten years ended with an emotional series of ten concerts at New York's famed Madison Square Garden. HBO received six Emmy nominations for their acclaimed film, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, which featured 14 performances from the last two Garden shows. This package includes the original HBO broadcast, as well as an additional 80 minute sequence of 11 songs never before shown. This release also includes a 15 minute featurette entitled "New York City Serenade", made up of behind-the-scenes interviews with Bruce and all the E Street Band members and additonal unreleased concert footage.

"Now there's tears on the pillow
Darling where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost my friend
Now tell me where do I begin again?
My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins".
On September 21st, 2001, a telethon benefit was held in the New York City and Los Angeles for victims of the 9-11-01 terrorist attacks on America. The show was titled, "America-A Tribute to Heroes." Bruce opened the show with "My City Of Ruins", his song about Asbury Park, New Jersey. A very slight modification in lyrics made it a devastating and appropriate tribute to those whose lives were lost. Each performer sang one song, and no one was introduced by name. The DVD also contains the entire broadcast, music and comments made by all guests. It was also released in CD and VHS formats. All proceeds of the concert and releases went to the September 11th charities.
