2002‐09‐20: Boardwalk, Asbury Park, NJ, USA (2002-09-20) (video recording session “Lonesome Day”)

Video shoot for Lonesome Day, held at locations on and around the Asbury Park boardwalk. The video is directed by Mark Pellington and features a “live” vocal, a technique previously used by Springsteen on Brilliant Disguise, Streets of Philadelphia and Better Days. During each take, Springsteen performed the vocals live on camera, which The Rising producer Brendan O’Brien edited and mastered for the final cut of the video. The most striking thing about making this video was the fact that Bruce sang every take live, nailing the vocal take after take, each time, said Pellington. The final take came 16 hours after the first one, and he never missed a note. The video premiered in late October 2002.
