Live in New York City
专辑简介by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Compared to the gargantuan quintuple album Live 1975/1985, 2001´s Live in New York City seems like the very definition of restraint, but consider this -- not only does it span two discs, it leaves out a considerable portion of the set list from the show and thereby the set list of Springsteen´s celebrated 2000 reunion with the E Street Band. Some critics complained that this record was little more than a tie-in to the HBO special of the same name, but even if that´s true, the record would have merit since it illustrates exactly why this group should never have parted ways. In a sense, even if this is the third live album in Springsteen´s catalog, it´s the first that attempts to replicate the feeling of an evening out with the E-Street Band (the box tried too hard to be an ultimate experience; MTV Plugged captured a transitional phase). Though most reunions feel a little forced, this feels natural, yet never nostalgic, since the track listing never relies on the predictable. There are no hits in the conventional sense -- outside of "Born in the U.S.A." tucked away on the second disc and an initially uncredited "Born to Run" -- but there are many fan favorites interspersed with a few obscurities and new songs, most notoriously the protest song "American Skin (41 Shots)." This works in Springsteen´s favor, since there´s no pandering -- only the joy of making music with the band that understands him best. This doesn´t really result in something essential, even if the new songs are quite good, but if you´ve ever been a fan, it´s hard not to warm to Live in New York City.
