On Thursday night, Bruce Springsteen fans will want to get to the Balboa Theater for a special treat: a screening of his new live concert film, “London Calling”.
Captured in London at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 28, 2009, a special 90-minute version of this highly anticipated outdoor concert film comes to the Balboa for one night only with showings at 7:15pm and 9:15pm.
Tickets are $10 and half of every ticket sold benefits the The Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance, a charity set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E Street Band member.
Thursday night’s screening showcases Bruce spontaneously directing the E Street Band through 13 live tracks, all recorded in glorious HD. As a special bonus, three lucky attendees will win the deluxe 2-DVD extended version of “London Calling”, a 172-minute film with 27 tracks. Just fill out the entry form in our lobby the night of the show.
Check out Bruce and the band playing the opening number of their set, “London Calling”. He’s still got it.
