It’s time to go backstage with the Boss. The New Jersey rock legend and his band of fifty years aren’t slowing down any time soon in the original documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, now streaming on Hulu.

Directed by frequent collaborator Thom Zimny with Springsteen co-producing, the film follows the band throughout their electrifying 2023-24 tour, offering “the most in-depth look ever at the creation of their legendary live performances, including footage of band rehearsals, backstage moments, rare archival clips and personal reflections from [the legendary rocker] himself,” according to the film’s logline.
