Springsteen's 'Born to Run' Redone — with Video

This week, Bruce Springsteen's album Born to Run gets the box-set treatment, in a special edition marking the record's 30th anniversary. The three-disc set includes a remastered version of the seminal album that created legions of Springsteen fans with its title track and songs like" Thunder Road" and "Backstreets."
