Synopsis

Bruce Springsteen has sold more than 120 million records worldwide, earning numerous awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award. He has been inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But this book isn't about awards. It's about the visceral experience of seeing Da Boss live, whether that's the thunderous introduction to 'Born To Run' or having 20,000 people sing the first lines of 'Hungry Heart' as the E Street Band play the opening chords. From late sixties concerts in New Jersey through to his marathon shows in recent years, over 250 fans from the USA, UK, Australia and Europe share memories of seeing a true rock 'n' roll legend in concert.
