See what happens in November? The election? General discussions on Touring?
By November it’s Christmas prep time and December for an April tour that backs on to Europe?
They’re not coming

Thanks for finding it and posting the doco. Much appreciated.
If this is your Vimeo account then an even bigger thanks for putting it together.
I knew George Stephanopolous would do a good job, and that's why I was so keen to find it.

I count 14 of the band members in the studio with Howard Stern
Bruce, Patti, Max, Niels, Soozie, and Jake in the main shot. Gary, Roy and new percussionist Anthony Almonte to the right. To the left are the 4 backing singers and Charlie.
Missing are the 4 piece E Street Horns section and Stevie. That's 19 members.
They were 18 in 2014 when Tom Morello stayed on and Stevie toured as well after not coming on the 2013 tour due to filming Lilyhammer. ( Yes the town is spelt Lillehammer). Looks like they have added an extra male back up singer.

What a phenomenal documentary. It was flawless. What struck me the most was how incredible the sound was. Hearing them rehearse and the sound coming through there was spectacular, and then the transition to live cuts was awesome.
Just an absolutely brilliant piece of film making. The Last Man Standing section through Backstreets had me in tears.

Absolutely this. I had the speakers pumping and everything note was synced with the vision.
Absolutely amazing music documentary. I was expecting middle of the road. But this is powerful. It puts the 2023/24 tour setlists in perspective.
It also made me depressed that we aren't getting a tour.

Howard Stern has put up 5 more videos on his youtube channel - all songs with the band.
I put up the link in my previous post.

I thought it wonderfully shot, Zimny is a very talented filmmaker, and the sound was fantastic.
It was a lovely way to capture that portion of the tour, and the archival snippets were both amazing to see, and frustrating to know how much is in the vaults that we will likely never see.
Unfortunately, Zimny is very much inside the tent, and so ultimately this was hagiography more than documentary. Springsteen as an individual, and the band in general are perfect subjects for critical assessment of their legacy and place in the wider musical world. However, JLM have built the walls so high around Bruce nobody not prepared to genuflect on the way in is allowed.
The recent books by Zanes and Hyden covering the Nebraska and BitUSA period sent me down a rabbit hole a few months back watching a lot of the scarce footage of Bruce from that era such as the lengthy UK interview to promote Live 75-85. What stood out back then was even at the height of his fame, he was so unsure of himself. Long pauses, grasping for the words. Clearly a very intelligent man, fighting to articulate what was in his head. But he came across as genuine. Listening to him reading from a script in the voiceovers was just Bruce playing the "Bruce Springsteen" character he has developed over the past 25 years. I would love to see under the surface, unguarded and honest. Not sure we ever will.
The best bit of self reflection was watching the ponderously slow version of She's The One bleeding into the pedal to the floor version from I'm guessing around 76. I'm surprised that made the cut, to be honest, but it was revealing to see it.
