Info & Setlist | Venue

---

Bruce and the band appear on Saturday Night Live. The show is hosted by actor Matt Damon. "Lonesome Day" is with the band, "You're Missing" is solo piano (as is the soundchecked "My Hometown"). Bruce and the E Street Band are rehearsing for their performance later that evening on Saturday Night Live. They start playing "Lonesome Day" and a couple minutes into the song Bruce and Steven realize that Patti is missing. She shows up and grabs a guitar halfway into the song. After the song is over, Patti isn't too happy and Bruce says, "There are too many members in the E Street Band now." He then says to Patti: "I was as surprised as you were, darling. That's what practices are for. That's why they call it a run-through." And he then says: "I want to do this song again. I don't care how much it costs!"

Storyteller

Middle of “Lonesome Day” ^{(Rehearsal, 1st Take)}
´´(Bruce bursts into laughter during the line ´´Better ask questions before you shoot´´ as Patti walks onstage late)….I´m gonna find my way through this lonesome day….Pittsburg! *….´´
^{[*"Pittsburg" could be in reference to a gig during the Born In the U.S.A-tour when Roy Bittan and Nils Lofgren were still playing ping-pong backstage when the rest of the band was already starting ´´Born in the U.S.A´´ onstage. This incident is mentioned in the article in the November 1992 issue of Musician).]}

After “Lonesome Day” ^{(Rehearsal, 1st Take)}
´´(?)….goddammit, somebody´s fired, I, I´m not sure who (chuckles) take your pick (chuckles) I´m telling you, baby (?)(chuckles)….oh (chuckles) there are too many members in the E Street Band now (chuckles) we can´t even tell if a few are missing (chuckles)….I was as surprised as you were, darling (chuckles) that´s why they call it ´a run-through´ (chuckles) that´s what these practises are for (chuckles) we´re gonna do it again, I insist on doing this one more time, I don´t care how much it costs….´´
