The Promise

What's really fascinating about The Promise, which is the documentary of Darkness on the Edge of Town is how music meant everything to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band during the making of the album.

In their late 20's, and as Little Steven points out, wives and girlfriends didn't matter, their life was the music. I don't think they every felt the same again. Darkness was a pivotal one for Bruce, even though it didn't get the accolades the follow-ups did.

The Promise is must-see for the behind-the-boards look at how Springsteen arrived at the next phase in his life. He's growing up right before you.

And becoming the artist he always wanted to be.
