| Bruce Springsteen - 'Live In Dublin' (Columbia Records) 'Live In Dublin' by Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band was released by Columbia Records last week to great acclaim, debuting among Amazon.com's top twenty DVDs and top ten CDs simultaneously and with the DVD seeing time at number one. The New York Daily News' David Hinckley writes, "Using a big old band full of strings and horns, he got a sound that combined Saturday-night hoedown music, Fourth of July parade music, back-porch music and music from the cotton fields, all mixed with a spirit that stamps them as singularly Springsteen." Meanwhile, an abbreviated 60-minute version of the film has been broadcast on almost 300 PBS affiliate stations throughout the country this month. NJN (New Jersey Public Television) premiered the film April 30. NJN producer Donna Journigan said, "NJN, New Jersey's own public television station was proud to be the presenter of the world premiere right here in Bruce's home state. It has been extremely well received... We've even garnered international response."
