This video documentary traces the years Bruce Springsteen spent perfecting his art, via the various bands that he played with in the bars and nightspots of New Jersey to his signing with Columbia Records. Experts discuss his third, breakthrough album Born To Run, recorded in 1975 to critical and commercial success, and peaking at number three on the Billboard 200, eventually selling six million copies due to such hits as "Born to Run," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," "Thunder Road," and "Jungleland." This captivating story continues into the 80s and reveals how this phenomenal artist captured the masses and had the world firmly at his feet. This video also features exclusive interviews with colleagues of The Boss such as close school friends Richard Blackwell and Joseph Balencko, Steel Mill manager Carl Tinker West and singer Robbin Thompson, E Street band member Vini Lopez, Castilles bass player Frank Marziotti, and many others.
