"Bruce Springsteen in All His Rock Star Glory." Janet Macoska, The Daily Beast

"Two careers were born on that cold night in 1974. Macoska would blossom into one of the most notable rock 'n' roll photographers of the last 50 years. And Springsteen was on his way to becoming The Boss." Jay Crawford and Meg Hambach, wkyc3

"...Live In The Heartland covers almost five decades of touring from The Boss, and also includes set-lists and corresponding editorial content. The majority of the photos are previously unseen." Classic Rock Magazine

"There's only one boss of rock 'n' roll." Tria Wen, Reader's Digest

"... an energetic and moving visual tour that records the romance between The Boss and the Cleveland stages." GQ Mexico

Five decades of blue-jeans, down-to-earth rock 'n' roll. Five decades of poetic, authentic performances, political commentary, global tours and even a Broadway show. Bruce Springsteen hasn't just left an impact on the surface of modern music, he helped shape its foundations.

From the early beginnings in 1974 to the seminal Born in the USA one of the best-selling albums of all time to the 2016 River Tour, the highest grossing tour of the year, Springsteen has a truly timeless appeal, captured here by lauded rock photographer, Janet Macoska. Macoska charts Springsteen through the ages. Through her lens we witness his enduring energy on the stage, from 1974 to 2016. Here is Springsteen at his finest: a down-to-earth superstar, whose powerful performances stand the test of time.

"Bruce would rip his heart out and give it to his audience. He put everything into his performance. He was all over the stage, and the whole rest of the band was in lockstep, complimenting that energy. It was going out to the audience in bundles. We were sending it back , too, and that's really electric. That energy, those visuals? Photographers love that. It's perfect to have something like that to photograph." - Janet Macoska

"Bruce Springsteen has grown as a live performer. Just ask Janet Macoska. She's photographed the Boss in concert since 1974, and her work is collected in the vivid retrospective Bruce Springsteen: Live in the Heartland.
