“London Calling: Live in Hyde Park,” shot in London at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 28, 2009, conveys the experience of being on-stage and also being part of the vast crowd amidst one of the essential rock 'n' roll experiences, a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert.
We are able to see Springsteen spontaneously directing his band and shaping the show as it evolves, all captured with high definition cameras.
The song list is terrific: “London Calling,” “Badlands,” “Night,” “She’s the One,” “Outlaw Pete,” “Working on a Dream,” “Born to Run,” “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight),” “Jungleland,” “American Land,” “Glory Days,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day.”
A portion of the proceeds from select screenings will support the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance, a charity focused on finding and funding melanoma research to accelerate progress toward a cure. The Danny Fund was set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E Street Band member.
