Arguably the greatest music doc ever made. Fitting for one of the greatest albums ever made. It's fascinating to see Springsteen's process.

Most documentaries about rock bands do not go

Most documentaries about rock bands do not go into the exhaustive detail of The Promise. They are mostly exercises in masturbation with drugs thrown in. This is about creativity, not the fairy kind of tepid films, but the painful hard working variety that creates most masterpieces. All members of the band get to speak, which makes the creation of the album a miracle because these men have serious creative differences.

The interesting journey that Bruce Springsteen & the

The interesting journey that Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band went on to make the follow up record to Born to Run, all the struggles & creative walls they hit. It honestly shows the Ego Bruce had to have to get the project going but his dedication to the sound and artistry of the album is incredible to see and all the people interviewed equally feel the same about Bruce & the journey they went on. It really shows a man giving his all, 110% to get the music & lyrics right and the incredible artistic journey they went on....a subtle simple Doco top watch.
