There’s a reason that Bruce Springsteen still sells out stadiums—and it’s not about nostalgia-seeking fans hoping to relive the glory days. It’s because the 76-year-old rocker still rocks. The Boss, along with the E Street Band, have been on an international tour since February of 2023; they kicked it off in Tampa, Florida, and will wrap things up in Washington, D.C., at the end of this month—but not before stopping in New York. Two years ago, we saw the recipe that’s led to such immense success: the documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band pulled back the curtain on Springsteen’s live-performance philosophy, zooming in as he designs a setlist, rehearses, and chats with the E Street Band backstage. A treat for fans and general audiences alike, the film is an acute look at a legendary artist’s creative process, and a good alternative for those who can’t make a live performance. —Jack Sullivan
