Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's legendary 1979 No Nukes concert film is out today!

It's been a long wait – 42-years to be precise – but The Boss' legendary two-night No Nukes stand in Madison Square Garden is finally available as a stunning 2CD + DVD package, which also includes a photo-booklet and replica ticket stub.

Our resident Bossologist, Stuart Clark, got a preview of the film, which lives up to its mythic status among fans – and then some!

You'll have to wait for the new issue of Hot Press, out next week, for the full verdict, but here's a little appetite-whetting extract: "The band’s strolling on stage is as casual as the triple-whammy of ‘Prove It All Night’, ‘Badlands’ and ‘The Promised Land’ they then proceed to play is incendiary. Bruce purists will say I’ve got it the wrong way round, but the sinew-straining intensity of the performances reminds me of the Clash gigs I was witnessing at the same time on the other side of the Atlantic.

"There’s no mid-set slump with the crowd bellowing every word of ‘Thunder Road’ back to him; Bruce in dramatic silhouette as he delivers ‘Jungleland’s 'But they end up wounded/ Not even dead' pay-off line; and ‘Born To Run’ the joyous affirmation of life that it’s always been."

If you think that praise is glowing, just wait till Clarky gets to the 'Detroit Medley' encore, which finds Brooooooce playing his evangelising rock ‘n’ roll preacher role to perfection.
