That’s So Boss

If you couldn’t afford the $100 price tag for floor seats the last time Bruce Springsteen came around back in September, you can catch about 170 minutes of him on the big screen at Cinema Paradiso on Friday or Saturday, when the indie theater plays London Calling: Live in Hyde Park. The concert film captures a 2009 show, described by the Times of London as “epic” and a “revved-up three-hour power drive through Springsteen’s America” performed in front of about 50,000 fans at the Hard Rock Calling Festival. He rocks all the classics: “Born to Run,” “Glory Days,” and “Dancing in the Dark.” But the show also includes rare covers such as the Young Rascals “Good Lovin’ ” and concert opener the Clash’s “London Calling.”
