Info & Setlist | Venue

---

First of two nights in Philadelphia. A rare performance of "Seaside Bar Song" appears in what is becoming an "early classic" slot after "My City Of Ruins", which includes "People Get Ready". The outtake from The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle was last played in 2009, in the same city. Bruce remembered playing it at The Main Point in Bryn Mawr - he's probably right, but sadly we have no record of it as there are many unknown setlists from shows there. Next up is "Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street?", featuring a drum-off between Max and percussionist Everett Bradley. "Waitin' On A Sunny Day" includes a drum-led introduction, used during this and the following six shows. Bruce explicitly dedicates "American Skin (41 Shots)" to Trayvon Martin. While climbing in the crowd during "Raise Your Hand", Bruce takes a seat in the crowd and downs a beer handed to him by a fan.

I can't believe nobody has posted a comment here so it's left up to a guy from Huddersfield England to do it for all you Americans. Well we got into the pit as we were there early and I have to admit it was nice to see an arena show again, we were about four rows back in front of Stevie. We had been pulled out and could here the soundcheck going on as we were inside by then. Highlights. RAISE YOUR HAND Bruce drinking beer in the audience. THE APOLLO MEDLEY Bruce crowd surfing. SEASIDE BAR SONG. DOES THIS BUS STOP AT. I think this was the better of the two Philly shows and was better than Sunderland. IT WASN'T BETTER THAN MANCHESTER THOUGH, I WONDER WHAT THE BOSSMAN HAS LINED UP FOR THE NEXT TWO PHILLY SHOWS?
