What is the documentary Road Diary about?
Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band has offered a look at the band's preparation for live performances and music room rehearsals before the 2023/24 world tour. The behind-the-scene moments have been explained by director Zimny in a statement, who has said:
"This is a story of them coming back together after the world was shut down. But there is also this other story of Bruce taking his set list and working on telling a story that reflects him looking at his past, and where he is now. "
As a fan of Springsteen himself, Zimny has reportedly captured the lively atmosphere of a concert and the kind of connection the band has with the audience.
Moreover, one more angle added to the documentary is fans making song requests and Springsteen randomly picking them for the band to play. Zimny further added,
"That was an important story point to get across, because Road Diary is about a guy building a set list and telling a very detailed story. But there's a whole other side of Bruce that throws the process into a bit of chaos!"
