LouisvilleGreg Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Looks like a fairly solid set. Looking forward to it: LONDON CALLING DVD SET FOR JUNE 22Less than a year after the June 28, 2009 "Hard Rock Calling" festival in London, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's performance there will see release as London Calling: Live in Hyde Park. The concert film, which kicks off with the titular Clash song and runs more than two-and-a-half-hours, is set for release from Columbia on June 22, on one Blu-Ray disc and as a two-DVD set. From this morning's press release: ...the 163-minute film documents 26 tracks of live Springsteen that begin in daylight and progress through a gorgeous sunset into night. London Calling: Live In Hyde Park conveys both the experience of being on-stage and the vast crowd experience of the festival environment. Viewers are able to see Springsteen spontaneously directing the E Street Band and shaping the show as it evolves. The set list spans from Born to Run era to Working on a Dream and includes rare covers such as The Clash's "London Calling," Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Eddie Floyd's "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen also performs fan favorite "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," written by Stephen Foster in 1854. Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem joins the band as a guest vocalist on Springsteen's own "No Surrender." For more on the show itself, see the report in our Setlists section. As for the DVD's setlist, only "Rosalita" — a performance that was previously broadcast for an abridged TV special — has been dropped. The release adds two bonus clips: "The River" from Glastonbury 2009 (remember all that steam rising off Bruce?) and the "Wrecking Ball" video from Giants Stadium. Producer/editor Thom Zimny and director Chris Hilson oversaw the film, with audio mixed by Bob Clearmountain. The full track list:1. London Calling2. Badlands3. Night4. She's the One5. Outlaw Pete6.

One down, one to go! - April 20, 2010 - Geoff Robinson photo This has been rumored to be in the pipeline for TWO YEARS. I'll believe it when I have it in my grubby little hands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yeah i was sort of surprised when it didn't come out in '08 for the 30th anniversary, but I guess they were busy back then, not so much so now. I'm sure it will be incredible when it does. It's hard to go wrong with footage from that tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
