Bruce Springsteen Concert Film Debuts to Benefit Melanoma
If I was tasked with the responsibility of explaining the true definition of a rock star to the disenfranchised youths, I have a fair guess at how I’d start out the lecture:
“Any rock singer who is equipped with the rare ability to reach through the canvas of a movie screen, in a performance taped months prior, and touch an audience, to rise them from the conformity of their foamed-cushioned seats in a damp, dark theater, to make them dance and shout without hesitation, nothing short of ‘rock star’ would you dare call that performer.”
London Calling: Live in Hyde Park is the new concert film by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, recorded last summer at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London. Its two-week limited engagement concludes this Friday at Beach Theatre in St. Pete Beach. Any chance to see New Jersey’s most successful bar band is a treat in itself, but to catch the legendary band on the big screen for a great cause provided a rare opportunity to dance down E Street.
