Synopses for Blood Brothers: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (2000)
1.
This intimate documentary is a must-have for Bruce Springsteen fans, capturing a magical time in 1995 when the Boss and the E Street Band reunited in New York's Hit Factory for their first studio sessions in 11 years. During the recording of new songs for Springsteen's 1995 Greatest Hits release, filmmaker Ernie Fritz was given full access to the band's collaborative process, including the live music video performance of "Murder Incorporated" for filmmaker Jonathan Demme. While bandmates and studio personnel offer insights about their history under Springsteen's democratic leadership, two people make particularly memorable impressions. First, Springsteen's longtime producer- manager Jon Landau is seen as a benevolent guiding force, with eloquent opinions about the uniqueness of Springsteen's artistic vision. Then there is Springsteen, revealed here as a genuine working-class hero, playful and generous while remaining intensely focused on finding the perfect approach to each new song. --Jeff Shannon

In the winter of 1995, Bruce Springsteen reassembled the E Street Band with just three days notice to record a few songs to add to the release of his Greatest Hits album. Originally airing on the Disney Channel in March '96, Blood Brothers is a chronicle of this reunion that both sheds light on the dynamics that Springsteen and the E Street band shared and illuminates the creative process in the recording and mixing of music in the 1990's.
"This superlative documentary chronicles Bruce Springsteen's 1995 reunion with the E Street Band as the musicians gathered, after an 11-year hiatus, to record material for Springsteen's Greatest Hits album. Ernie Fritz's film is more than a record of a legendary band's reunion. It offers a glimpse of Springsteen that fans rarely see." -TV Guide
