Who’s The Boss? ‘Road Diary’s Steven Van Zandt And Director Thom Zimny On How Springsteen & Band Turned Latest Tour Into “Hurricane Of Excitement”


Steven Van Zandt and director Thom Zimny talk 'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street,' a documentary about the super group's latest tour.

Even if you’ve never experienced a live performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, you probably know their shows are the stuff of legend — epic, three-hour music marathons that celebrate the struggles of everyday Americans with joy, communal spirit and, of course, world-class rock and roll. This includes longtime collaborators like guitarist Steven Van Zandt, as well as filmmaker Thom Zimny, who chronicles behind-the-scenes prep for his ongoing global tour in Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. The highly-regarded documentary — an Emmy contender — features rare access to rehearsals, backstage moments, live performances, archival clips and personal reflections from Springsteen himself, which Zimny has fashioned into voice-over narration.
