Bruce Springsteen VH1 Storytellers

Filmed on location at the Two River Theatre in Red Bank, N.J. on April 4,2005 and first aired on VH-1 on April 23, this program is an expanded and completely re-edited version of Bruce Springsteen's historic solo VH1 Storytellers concert. The stunning solo performance is nearly two hours long and includes songs from his recent acclaimed album Devils & Dust. Also included are Springsteen's detailed comments, intros, and anecdotes on the songs' origins as well as a question and answer session between the musician and his fans.

As poet laureate of the working class, singer/songwriter Bruce Springsteen infuses his trademark brand of high-energy rock with lyrical tales detailing the pathos of the common man in a style reminiscent of his idols Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Springsteen's powerful narrative skills make him the perfect candidate for VH1's popular STORYTELLERS series, which intersperses stripped-down acoustic performances (ala MTV's UNPLUGGED) with candid personal commentary on the artistic process behind the songs. Recorded on April 5, 2005, at the Two River Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey, this program presents Springsteen's STORYTELLERS appearance in a special edition that has been greatly expanded and reedited from its original broadcast episode to include the complete versions of all eight songs (including a duet with his wife Patti Scialfa on "Brilliant Disguise"), insightful between-song banter, and an intimate question-and-answer session that was previously unaired.
