Bruce Springsteen’s docu-concert “Western Stars” will receive a special two-night screening next month.

The film’s Fathom Events showings at 7 p.m. Oct. 19 and 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Oct. 23 will feature behind-the-scenes material with Springsteen and unreleased music from his vault, providing fans with an extra dose of The Boss.

“Western Stars,” which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, includes a performance of the full album of the same name – Springsteen’s first in five years – with a 30-piece orchestra set in a nearly 100-year-old barn.
