Working On A Dream Tour - Broadcasts and Recordings

Broadcasts and Recordings

Several of the tour's festival appearances aired on television or radio during 2009.

One song's worth of the June 13 Bonnaroo Music Festival appearance, "Outlaw Pete", made it into a U.S. packaged broadcast of festival highlights for television, "The Best of Bonnaroo 2009", that appeared on Fuse TV on June 20. The performance of that song subsequently appeared on a Live From Bonnaroo 2009 DVD.

Portions of the June 27 Glastonbury Festival performance were aired live on BBC Two television and BBC 6 Music radio. A number of fans complained that the full set had not been shown by the BBC, which in turn said the set had been too long to broadcast in its entirety. Televised highlights were later shown on BBC Four and BBC HD.

In conjunction with the Fourth of July holiday in the U.S., E Street Radio featured 45 minutes from the July 3 Frankfurt Commerzbank Arena show.

In the U.S., the Hard Rock Calling Hyde Park appearance was included in an August 21 broadcast on the VH1, VH1 Classic, and Palladia cable channels; seven Springsteen and E Street Band performances, including "London Calling" to open the program, were included in amongst other artists' performances.

Several shows were filmed, but at the tour's conclusion no decisions had been made about whether to release them on DVD or other media. Then in June 2010, London Calling: Live in Hyde Park was released: a 163-minute, near-complete Blu-ray/DVD accounting of the named show.
