Springsteen fans, particularly those unable to purchase the Ties That Bind box, will be pleased to learn that this 55 min documentary (edited I think) will be shown on the telly on Sunday December the 20th at 11pm on BBC4, followed by the Live From The River Tour 1980 concert filmed in Tempe, Arizona.
Huzzah!

Good work, thanks! Diary updated with reminder.
I’m in the middle of a long-abandoned, newly-rekindled man-love crush on Brucie, having drifted away after Born In The USA and only dipped back in for CD purposes with BTR and TOL….. until recently…… when the brilliant mentions here (thanks niallb, thanks KidDynamite and thanks Seamus) have reignited the smoulder.

I recommend it. HBO are showing it in the U.S. – I saw it over the weekend. There are some excellent “Bruce strumming and singing in his yard and kitchen” versions of a few of the songs. Worth it just for that.
Doc looks like full length, should have included E St members though (especially Steve). Show is listed as an hr so less than a third.
Here’s a clip from the concert DVD
