Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band: Live In Barcelona overview
- What it is: A documentary-style concert release documenting a Barcelona performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, originally recorded during the Rising era, and released as a video/DVD in the early 2000s. It captures the energy of the band live at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, including performances of staples like Dancing in the Dark and Waitin’ on a Sunny Day, among others. This release remains a key live artifact for fans of the Rising-era tour.[5][6][10]

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: As one who saw the tour in question many times, I’m happy to get a solid documentation of that show, and Bruce Springsteen’s Live In Barcelona indeed gives us a good approximation of a Rising tour performance. The concert isn’t one of the absolute best, but it seems strong as a whole, and the DVD reproduces it reasonably well. Starring Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Sony Music, $19.98, 11/18/2003.
