If I was tasked with the responsibility of explaining to the disenfranchised youth about the true definition of rock star, I have a fair guess how’d 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, filmed last summer at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London. It's two week limited engagement concludes with a 9 PM showing on June 18th at Beach Theatre in St. Petersburg 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 was a rare opportunity to dance down E Street.
After the jump, uncover The Rabid One’s review of the film, as well as details for it’s last Bay area showing this week…
