On pourra légitimement s'étonner de la parution d'un live du Boss, si peu de temps après son (magnifique) DVD de "réunion" à New-York. D'autant que les anciens fans s'en rappelleront : il a fallu lui tirer les vers du nez, à Bruce, pour qu'il daigne sortir son premier live en 1986 ! La surprise est d'autant plus grande que la setlist, à première vue, a quand même certains points communs avec le live de 2001. D'où vient alors la différence? Elle vient naturellement de "The rising", ce fameux nouvel album enregistré avec tout le E Street Band, le premier depuis 1987. Ce genre de réunion à l'arrachée de vieux line-ups, en général, ce n'est pas toujours pour le meilleur ; mais ici c'est du Boss qu'on parle. Et l'homme sait depuis belle lurette comment bien faire les choses.

Le mythique album de Lou Reed Berlin sorti en 1973, qui racontait l'errance d'un couple de drogués, Caroline et Jim, a toujours été considéré comme son chef d'oeuvre. Berlin, 33 ans plus tard, est joué pour la première fois en concert à Brooklyn par Lou Reed et filmé par Julian Schnabel.

The film begins by listing the headlining acts of the Super Rock festival held in Japan in 1984: Scorpions, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi, all of whom have gone on to sell millions of records, except one: Anvil. Despite their ambition, the Canadian band was unable to achieve the same level of success. Instead, singer and guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow drives trucks for Children's Choice Catering, delivering food to schools and institutions. Drummer Robb Reiner works in construction. But both would rather be playing on stage at the local sports bar to their small but dedicated group of fans, as shown during a show for Steve's 50th birthday party.

Actors John Zorn

Avec la sortie de Masada Live at Tonic 1999, Zorn et le réalisateur Antonio Ferrera visent à remédier à cela en sortant un set particulièrement chaud d'une nuit particulièrement chaude dans l'un des principaux terrains de jeu de Zorn, Tonic à New York. L'un des attraits de Tonic est sa petite taille. L'amplification est complètement inutile, et bien qu'il n'y ait pas de détails techniques répertoriés sur le DVD astucieusement emballé, le soupçon est qu'il s'agissait d'un enregistrement très simple - un certain nombre de micros de salle stratégiquement placés au-dessus de la scène et trois caméras à partir desquelles Ferrera capture comme autant que possible de l'énergie vivante qu'est Massada.
