The documentary will offer a look at the band on tour between 2023 and 2024, featuring rare rehearsal and backstage footage.
A synopsis reads: 'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opens a new door into Springsteen's creative process for fans around the world, sharing behind-the-scenes aerial footage of the band's rehearsals and special moments. From Springsteen.
'These conversations follow Springsteen closely as he creates the story he wants to tell with this tour's track list: rare archival clips of The E Street Band, which underscore themes of life, loss, death and community.
In this way, it serves as an essential, never-before-seen chapter in the biographical series spanning Springsteen's memoirs Born to Run, Springsteen on Broadway, and Western Stars and Letter to You.
The E Street Band consisted of guitarists Steven Van Zandt, Nils Lofgren and Patti Scalfa (Bruce's wife), keyboardists Danny Federici and Roy Pitton, bassist Gary Tallent, drummer Max Weinberg and saxophonist Clarence Clemons.
Bruce said of the documentary: “I wanted to sit with the band and think about it. I was able to do this a moment ago. I needed these 24 years of experiences, including Springsteen on Broadway.
“Superstitiously I regret not having filmed the first version of the band, so I decided to film the remaining 24 years.”
Bruce was joined by his E Street guitarist, Steve Van Zandt.

Deborah Armstrong and Lee Jury joined Bruce on the red carpet before the screening.
Bruce added: “The important thing is that you look at the audience and find yourself. I look at the audience every night and I can find myself in anyone.
'It can be a child or whoever, the audience also needs to identify with you. It's a deep experience and connection that we've had with our fans for 50, 60 years… the night you look out and don't recognize yourself, that's the night you come home.'
Stevie said: 'It's about mortality, but we balance it with vitality. We don't go out quietly. We brought a whirlwind!
'The moment in between is Thom Zimni [the director] So perfectly captured. It hits you in the face and every time we bring it out… we want people to leave with more energy than when they arrived.”
He added of the band: “It's been a complete artistic adventure from the beginning.”
Bruce concluded, “If you do the art, the music, and the band right, you go out and play every night like it's your last night on earth.” That's the band's continuing philosophy and we stick to it.
It comes after Bruce said his wife Patty is “doing fine” amid her rare battle with blood cancer.
The American-born singer, whose wife was diagnosed in 2018, shared an update on the condition of his 71-year-old grandmother and advocated for early cancer detection in an ABC special promoting his upcoming documentary.
“She's fine, we caught it early, which is important,” the singer said Tuesday, adding: “It's a tough illness, it's very exhausting.”
Buddy, who plays guitar in her husband's E Street Band, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2018 and retired from touring because she was facing a personal health crisis.
lLast month, he spoke about the illness during the premiere of Bruce's documentary at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada.
Speaking about his decision to step away from his stage duties, Buddy explained: “I've been performing with this band for 40 years. With those first shows, it was great to be back on stage.
“For me, traveling is a challenge. In 2018, Bruce and I were doing a play on Broadway. I was diagnosed with early stage multiple myeloma.'
He revealed that he often tries to come to a show, but is no longer a regular on stage.
Bruce said of the documentary: “I just got to do it. I needed these 24 years of experience. “I’m sorry I was so superstitious by not filming the first version.”
It comes after Bruce said his wife Patty is “doing well” in her battle with a rare blood cancer.
“She's fine and we caught it early, which is important,” the guitarist said Tuesday. “It's a tough disease, it's very exhausting”
The guitarist added: “It affects my immune system, so I have to be careful what I do and where I go.”
'Every once in a while, I would go to one or two shows and sing a few songs on stage and it was a pleasure. That's the new normal for me now and I'm okay with that.”
The documentary is the first time Patti has spoken publicly about her cancer diagnosis.
She has been married to Bruce since 1991. They share three children: Evan, 34, Jessica, 32, and Samuel, 30.
