See Springsteen in Concert -- Free!

Say, how would you like to see Bruce Springsteen in concert -- for free?

Well, you can -- sort of, because "Bruce Springsteen just got back from a journey across the U.S. with the Seeger Sessions Band, and he's brought you a souvenir from every city."

That's right, all you have to do is head over to American OnLine (AOL), and you can view video footage of 18 songs from 18 concerts, recorded by The Boss during his recent tour through the US, promoting his latest album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions.

Just follow this link... and work your way through the video clips.

Among the great songs featured on the site are Pay Me My Money Down, The Erie Canal, Mrs McGrath, and of course, We Shall Overcome. Springsteen has infused the songs with new life, and with exciting arrangements that feature a wide range of instrumentation, including banjo, accordion, violins, a brass section, and a host of other instruments played by a group of extremely talented musicians.

Just in case you haven't yet caught up with the news, Bruce Springsteen's latest album is a collection of traditional folk songs recorded and made popular by Pete Seeger. Bruce had the idea for recording a full album of traditional songs, after he contributed a couple of songs to a Pete Seeger tribute album some years ago.

The new recordings, with their wonderful arrangements are a joy to listen to, and will almost certainly be responsible for introducing some classic folk songs to a whole new audience. Personally, I can't wait to buy the concert footage on DVD.
