Bruce Springsteen: A Secret History (1998) 1h.

Filmed in New Jersey, the documentary includes a rare interview with Springsteen in which he talks about Vietnam, his drug experiences (or lack of them) and his 30 year career which started in a hairdressing salon. There’s an exclusive acoustic performance of ‘Born In The USA’ performed in an Asbury Park bar plus footage from his legendary 1975 London Hammersmith Odeon gig including the seldom-performed ‘Man At The Top’, ‘Stand On It’ and ‘Janey Don’t Lose Your Heart’.
