Album Description
Available in:
Live in Barcelona appeared in 2003, the latest in a body of Bruce Springsteen official concert and video releases, and even this nonfanatical Springsteen listener has to concede the sheer, raw power and seductiveness of the show at hand. From the opening bars of "The Rising," this is an amazingly powerful -- indeed, almost overpowering -- performance across all 180 minutes of screen time, and that's saying a lot for a rock performer in his fourth decade; once in a while you get a guy like, say, Bo Diddley, who was doing amazing shows in the 1980s, but many rock stars get by on style more than energy -- not here, though; watching Live in Barcelona, and adding the absorption of Springsteen's energy output to one's own appreciation of the songs and overall performance, it's possible to feel out-of-breath sitting at home, so intense is the experience. One of the big surprises from the very start of the two-disc set is the volume level at which the audio is set -- it's good and high, so that the roar of the crowd and the sound of the band when they launch into, say, "Born to Run," is rafter-shaking. The performance is perhaps the best ever captured on video of this artist, among lots of unauthorized video; on a technical level the picture and sound quality are just about perfect. What's also important is how well the new material, from The Rising, comes off here -- the album was sufficiently flawed as a studio creation, in the sense of most of the songs not quite being finished in their optimum studio incarnations, but hearing the new songs in concert proves what many suspected all along, that The Rising was merely a preview of what could be done in concert with those songs. So this is the way to take in that material. What's more, for a change with an artist at this stage of Springsteen's career, the newest songs hold up alongside the classics; and this set is filled with the latter, even reviving pieces like "She's the One," which never made it onto the concert anthology set Live/1975-85, when it was a much more current song in his studio output. The only flaw is the programming of the menu on the second disc, which is a little bit confusing at first; and even that's made up for by the solo acoustic/slide guitar performance by Springsteen over the disc's end credits.
