Release notes:

To mark the 50th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's first UK concert, this one-hour documentary examines the American singer-songwriter's unique relationship with the UK. 

It tells the story of how he first arrived in the UK in 1975, along with the E Street Band, for two sold-out performances at the Hammersmith Odeon, giving his album Born to Run its European premiere. This was later followed by successful tours in 1981 and 1985, with the story being brought up to date with the triumphant 2024 UK tour. 

As well as an exclusive, revealing interview with Springsteen himself, the documentary uses archive footage and interviews with friends, contributors and fellow musicians, along with the stories of 'ordinary' fans. Together, these reveal the huge impact Britain and British music has had on Springsteen's life and career.
