“Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band" with Thom Zimny


Listen Later

Thom Zimny (“Springsteen on Broadway”, “Springsteen: Letter to You”) can tell you a lot about

Bruce Springsteen. Through the course of Thom’s many documentaries featuring Bruce and the
E Street Band, including his latest film, “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,”
Thom has delved deeply into the music, personalities, and rollicking performances that have
made the band one of the most beloved rock-and-roll acts of all time.


Thom joins Ken for a return visit to the pod (“Sly”) to discuss his 25-year collaboration with
Bruce and the rich cinematic body of work that Thom has created over the course of Bruce’s
many albums and tours. With “Road Diary,” Thom documents the band’s first tour in six years.
At first, the question hangs in the air: “Does the band still have it?” But, once the tour begins, the
rust falls away quickly. Soon, the band, which features new musicians as well as returning
veterans, is rocking stadiums from Tampa to Barcelona. Thom is there to capture not only what
is happening on stage but to show the profound impact that Bruce and the band continue to
have on multiple generations of fans. It’s the kind of special relationship that endures.
“Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band” is streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
