2017-01-12 - WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, DC

WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY / GROWIN' UP / MY HOMETOWN / MY FATHER'S HOUSE / THE WISH / THUNDER ROAD / THE PROMISED LAND / BORN IN THE U.S.A. / DEVILS & DUST / TOUGHER THAN THE REST (with Patti Scialfa) / IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND (with Patti Scialfa) / THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD / LONG WALK HOME / DANCING IN THE DARK / LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS

Bruce stages a secret acoustic gig of fifteen songs in the White House's East Room to reward Barack Obama's staff for their hard work during the past eight years. Patti joins Bruce for "Tougher Than The Rest" and "If I Should Fall Behind". The set also includes a rare performance of "My Father's House", last played October 6, 2005 in Rochester, NY.

"It was a dream of a setlist … Bruce opened with a very brief note of thanks to the president and the staff who were being honoured before launching into "Working On The Highway". That opener led into an incredible "Growin' Up" for a lively start, but not much of the set was so upbeat, with haunting readings of songs like "My Hometown", "My Father's House", and "Devils & Dust". The mood in the room the whole night – both reception and concert – was not exactly sombre, but it wasn't festive, either. It was elegiac, I'd say. There was a clear sense of something ending, both with the conclusion of an adventure for the staff and the silent presence of the coming political transition. Bruce's demeanor was definitely in line with that overall vibe."

First show of the Summer '17 Tour, a run of fourteen shows in just over a month in Australia and New Zealand. The first of three shows in Perth is a 30-song set kicking off with a string-accompanied version of "New York City Serenade" followed by a political speech 48 hours after Donald Trump is inaugurated as President of the United States: "The E Street Band is so glad to be here in Western Australia," said Springsteen. "We are a long way from home, but our hearts and spirits are with the hundreds of thousands of the women and men that marched yesterday in every city of America and in Melbourne. Who rallied against hate and division and in support of tolerance, inclusion, reproductive rights, civil rights, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, the environment, wage equality, gender equality, health care and immigrant rights. We stand with you. We are the new American Resistance." The set structure is very similar to that seen at the final shows of The River Tour, with a suite of songs from Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle early on. The show features the only tour performances for "Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street?", "Lost In The Flood", "Kitty's Back", and "Incident On 57th Street", as well as "Blood Brothers", which makes its first appearance since 2008 and first ever appearance outside the U.S. in a solo acoustic arrangement with the original lyrics, performed by sign request. Nils takes over the vocals for a verse of "Darlington County", as he did on the 2016 River Tour and will for the full Australia/New Zealand run as well. Patti Scialfa is not present.

Bruce drops a full 21 songs from the first night, including the opening suite of "oldies", for a set that perhaps appeals more to the casual fan, with songs such as "Two Hearts" (including "It Takes Two"), "My City Of Ruins", and "Mary's Place". "Thunder Road" is the full band version. Patti Scialfa is not present.

First ever performance in Australia of "Drive All Night", and the first time that song, "New York City Serenade" and "Backstreets" have all been played at the same show.

After the 28-song show kicks off with a string-accompanied "New York City Serenade", Bruce speaks out on President Trump before playing "American Land". "Tonight we want to add our voices to the thousands of Americans who are protesting, at airports around the country, the Muslim Ban and the detention of foreign nationals and refugees. America is a nation of immigrants and we find this anti-democratic and fundamentally un-American." "Land Of Hope And Dreams" has a reference to Muslims and "Trapped" is dedicated to "the detainees", those affected by Trump's order to ban immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. The first performance since 2015 and ever performance in Australia of "Brown Eyed Girl" is by sign request of some Australians dressed up as characters from TV show The Honeymooners. They are called up the stage to join and even play the piano. Along with "Brown Eyed Girl", "Something In The Night", "Racing In The Street", and "If I Should Fall Behind" (in a solo acoustic arrangement) make their only tour appearances. "Thunder Road" is the full band version. Richie Sambora joins the band on stage for "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and "Shout". Bruce starts "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" with the wrong guitar and needs to restart. Patti Scialfa is not present.

Bruce makes his Broadway debut with Springsteen on Broadway, a solo show at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street). Performances for Springsteen on Broadway begin Tuesday, October 3, with an official opening on Thursday, October 12. The concept began at the White House in January, when he played an acoustic concert as the Obama family's parting gift for about 250 staffers. The two-hour evening began with Bruce, dressed in black jeans and t-shirt, dedicating the show to his friend Tom Petty and sent out prayers to the late singer's family and to The Heartbreakers. The show is pretty much the same every night with Bruce on stage with his guitar, a piano, and his words and music. Some of the show is spoken, some of it is sung. His mother Adele, sister Pamela, and Steven Van Zandt were in the audience. Bruce sings a snippet of The Exciters' "Tell Him" in the introduction to "Tougher Than The Rest", as he will throughout the Broadway run.

Patti Scialfa does not perform due to being ill. "This is the part of the night where I usually tell the folks how smart, tough and… fragile miss Patti is. And tonight she is fragile. Unfortunately she caught the flu and she spent the day yesterday in the hospital. So I am gonna have to swim, man swim. I figured I can't talk about Pats, I will talk about the kids or something." "My father was petitioning me for an ancestral role in my life. He wanted me to write a new ending to our relationship and to be ready for a new beginning I was about to experience. It was the greatest moment in my life with my dad and it was all I needed." After this intro, "Long Time Comin'" and "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" are performed in place of the usual "Tougher Than The Rest" and "Brilliant Disguise" duets, which are dropped for the first time on Broadway.

Patti is still ill with the flu. "She'll be alright. She is just out for the moment. I'm gonna have to take you on a slightly different adventure. Oh, she's alright, she just can't get on her feet yet."

Patti is still ill with the flu, and therefore does not perform, although she is present at the theatre.

Last show of the year, unfortunately Patti is still ill. "Long Time Comin'" is introduced by a narrative about ghosts and ancestors, and his dad right then becoming an ancestor rather than a ghost.
