Reviews:

Good 3rd Party Look at Springsteen
This DVD does a good job looking at Springsteen's younger days, growing up into fame. However, beware that, since this is not an official Bruce Springsteen DVD, there are no original Springsteen interviews and no Springsteen music. There is one pre-recorded interview with Bruce from the 80s. A few of Springsteen's closest friends, including Vini Lopez, are interviewed, and they provide good insight.

Skip it
Cheap doccumentary, that's the truth here. At least it's a honest merchandise, because it makes it clear that this is totally unauthorized. By saying that, you know for sure that there will be no Bruce's original music nor any interviews with E-Street Band actual members.

Great watch!
I really enjoyed this DVD, and even though there was no music, it was packed full of interviews from those that knew Springsteen and concentrated on his early years when he was gigging in local clubs. The DVD also has an extras bit with a full discography! Well worth a watch!

Rather low rent
I was disapointed to find no Bruce music to be heard anywhere in this program. The interviews are ho-hum at best and include people of very little substance who offer nothing of note who maybe sat behind him in school or heard him play once. The quality is low and strikes me as a high school production rather than a full blown documentary. The interview with Bruce is not done by the producers but is file footage of a mid to late 70's Bruce.There are many great resources for Bruce material out there and I recommend the Marsh Bio. Pass this one by.

Really Interesting and Informative Documetary
I agree with most of what the two other reviewers below me here say, it is a shame there's no original music from Bruce in this DVD [although the incidental music is really rather good and certainly gives the film some 'rhythm'] but the quality of the contributors [lovely to see Vini Lopez looking so well and talking so openly] and the interview footage of Bruce really does make up for it, and ultimately I really enjoyed this programme. If you're any kind of Springsteen fan i'd definitely recommend it
