Bruce and the band return to Philadelphia with their first ever show at Citizens Bank Park. "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" welcomes the band on stage, played by Charles Giordano on organ. "Summertime Blues" opens, the first of four "summer" songs before "We Take Care Of Our Own". The band play the tour's only "Green Onions" as Bruce collects signs, followed by the tour premiere and only tour performance of "Good Rockin' Tonight". Other premieres are "Jersey Girl" in the main set and the tour's lone "You Can't Sit Down" in the encores. "We Are Alive" includes a rambling introduction about the "train coming." At the end Bruce reminds the public with the message: "Remember… the E Street Band will be back tomorrow night, same time, same location!" Patti Scialfa is not present. Interesting soundcheck includes "None But The Brave" and "County Fair". If you have a recording, please get in touch.

Eyewitness

McMurphy	MONA/SHE'S THE ONE!! UNBELIEVABLE! LOST IN THE FLOOD, with that searing guitar solo at the end makes for one hard-rocking, kicks-you-in-the-gut epic! Shakes the celestial crowd with an amazing Spirit in the Night that makes your hair stand on end. Someone put this stuff out on an official dvd/cd — please! Good Rockin' Tonight — without a doubt, done Bruce and E Street Band style!
Tommy C	Pure and simple: A FUN SHOW FROM START TO FINISH! Sunday night was party night in Philly as Bruce and band opened with Summertime Blues and also gave us Sherry Darling, Out in the Streets and Hungry Heart. Spirit in the Night has become a new highlight of the show, very powerful and spiritual. Good Rockin' Tonight was terrific and should probably find its way into the set more often. Be a great way to start the shows off. Cadillac, Cadillac…always fun to hear. Shackled and Drawn is also another highlight. Just grabs and takes you down to that Greasy Lake Bruce brought us to earlier so we can be baptized in a night of rock 'n' roll! We Are Alive is another highlight. It's what the shows are all about, celebrating life and all those ghosts that contribute to who we are throughout the years. The show closes on several high notes as the party continues with You Can't Sit Down and Twist & Shout. Great time, even if we were all the way up in the rafters dancing all night long!
Walt Mere	Great show from start to the end. Every song was a highlight. First Bruce show for my wife and 2 sons (13 and 18). My wife, after the show said "he's ruined me for any other concert".
