Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band: Live In New York City is the name of a concert film done by HBO, featuring the first ever major televised Bruce Springsteen concert. It was later released on DVD with eleven extra songs not televised, and as a CD of the same name.
All of these forms document Springsteen and the E Street Band's highly successful 1999–2000 Reunion Tour, their first concert tour together in eleven years.
Running 90 minutes, the film was recorded at concerts on June 29 and July 1, 2000. These were the final two shows in the Band's ten-show tour-ending run at Madison Square Garden in New York City. HBO received six Emmy Award nominations (including "Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special") and won two Awards for the film.
"Born to Run" was a late addition to the special. As a result of this, there is a crossfade into and out of the song on the film and DVD and there is a complete fade-out before it on the CD. Also, its placement on the CD (at the end of the first disc, before "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out") was a result of this late decision. It is not listed as a track on the back of some pressings of the CD, but is on all pressings of the DVD.
Springsteen debuted many new songs over the final leg of the tour, and two were included on this special:
Also, many songs on the tour were performed with significant differences from their recorded versions. The songs on this special like that were:
Contains the entire HBO special, plus credits, a photo gallery, and New York City Serenade, a 19-minute documentary about the concerts.
Contains the following previously unseen performances:
In audio only, under the end credits:
Again, some of the songs were performed with significant alterations from their recorded versions.
Also noteworthy is that this performance of "Lost in the Flood" was the first performance of that song since 1978.
