Man, this guy just can do no wrong. Great album, excellent sampling of songs and the E-Street Band sounds great as always. I enjoy his solo work but when he gets together with the E Streeters it becomes something magical.

Bruce & the E Street Band are, IMO, one of the best live experiences in rock n' roll. Granted, they've slowly inched away from their peak in 1978, but they still put on a great show, and "Live In New York City" is an excellent document of their 1999-2000 'reunion' tour. It's been re-mixed and edited like an album, and if you're a collector and a purist, you won't like that, but for fans who just want one good set from the 1999-2000 tour, this is it. The two new songs are very good, particularly "American Skin" (very controversial but powerful). Occasionally it's overwhelming and bombastic, especially on the rockers (and the big-arena mixing style doesn't help), but this is still a tight set: some tracks like "Born in the USA" and "Youngstown" are even given fresh, bold arrangements, breathing new life into the former (which is overplayed on classic rock radio) and rejuvenating the latter (which was a forgotten track on a forgotten album).

A rote version of "Jungleland" aside, this is as close to the live Bruce experience as we're lucky to get. Highpoints: "Land of Hope and Dreams," "Youngstown," "Lost in the Flood." Still, given the choice, I'll take the video!
Evelyn T. gave it a 5:
I worship Bruce Springsteen, but the E-street band is overrated and the old songs should be left alone. However , 41 shots is great !

It's great! My favorite : Lost in the Flood
