When Bruce Springsteen agreed to reunite with the E Street band for the first time in many years to record additional songs for the Greatest Hits collection, director Ernie Fritz captured it for posterity and released a 90 minute documentary called Blood Brothers: Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band. Behind The Blood Brothers, this new 2DVD release on the Blood Brothers label (produced by the TMR people) collects all of the outtakes surrounding the band's filming of the "Murder Incorporated" video at Tramps and also included the complete set at Sony Studios taped for "Late Night With David Letterman". The quality of the sound and video is outstanding. Fritz show the documentary in a slightly grainy look and this is the same here. The sound is in excellent stereo. There are some parts during the concert footage at Tramps where the sound speeds up sounding like someone hit the fast forward button on the tape deck. They don't last too long but is there.
The quality of the Sony Studio show is excellent all around. The label claims it from the master and could well be. It is interesting to watch the band as they work out the song, talk backstage with John Landau and Johnathan Demme, and generally goof around in high spirits. At some points the camera crew become too intrusive like when they walk in while Bruce is changing for the set. There is an abrupt edit and we're back again with him fully clothed. We can eavesdrop on a conversation about the length of the set and Demme addressing the invited audience, asking them to be patient since they'll play "Murder Incorporated" several times. Several shots reveal just how full the stage is with the band an several cameramen cluttering up the view. The part I found very enjoyable is the Sony Studio footage. The audio has been released as Sony Studios, April 5th, 1995 on E.ST. Records (ES-27/28) and in upgraded quality as Sony Studios on Crystal Cat (CC 431/432). This looks like it's from the master reels and is complete. "Streets Of Philadelphia" is very moving and is one of the highlights. This release is being touted as the first important title for 2006. I'm sure that Bruce Springsteen fans will really enjoy this and make this essential. (GS)
