Social awareness does not equal political activism!
5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
That was what was really special about having Springsteen hunker down in South Philadelphia, on a run that included performances of the landmark albums Born to Run (twice), Darkness on the Edge of Town, and Born in the U.S.A. In a game of can-you-top-this, Pearl Jam, which brings the curtain down on the Spectrum for good with four shows ending Oct. 31, will have its work cut out for it.
That's what we want to hear.
INDEED!
Get it now, get enough, before its gone, let's everybody carry on, carry on....

Curious as to what time Bruce hit the stage, with a 3.33 hour show?? Is there a hard curfew at the Spectrum like most other venues?
I wasn't there but Bruce usually hits the stage around 8, 8:30 and yes there is a curfew.

Yield is one of their top albums. I could do without Ten and VS. Overplayed. Give me Vitalogy, No Code and Yield.

but both are surely going to be sweet
oh and dont forget-- Bruce doesnt have an opener( & still 3 + hours ) .
PJ does have an opener so it will definitely cut into their stagetime.

WTF are you talking about!!! :evil: Bruce is one of the most down to earth kind of guys you could ever hope to meet!!
I agree. Even though I hate his music and think he's like a cheesy 80's version of Bob Dylan......he seems like a nice guy.

He hit the stage at 8:21 by my watch and ended at 11:43.
Broke curfew all 6 shows he did at the Spectrum this year. 2 in April and 4 in the last week.
Last night was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

October 20 / The Spectrum / Philadelphia, PA
Notes: They're serving ice water in Hell tonight. Pigs have been spotted soaring over the eastern seaboard. And "The Price You Pay" — which hasn't been played live by Bruce Springsteen in any form whatsoever since May 27, 1981 — opened the E Street Band's final show of the Philly stand. Back in December of 1980, they'd played that inexplicably obscure River cut at this very venue, all three nights of the stand. But "The Price You Pay" would go on to be the album track with the longest time on the bench, until Bruce finally called it up tonight. Some in the crowd were mystified. Others — even those who had heard it soundchecked this afternoon — were astonished. Bruce on 12-string electric, a powerful vocal, and Curt Ramm on trumpet. It really happened. April Fool's Day is nearly half a year away.
The main set was bookended by another mind-blower, Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher" by request. "Curveball, curveball, curveball!" Bruce warned as he showed the sign around to the band. After working out the riff, the piano and the horn parts, Bruce took them into an absolutely phenomenal performance. Of "The Price You Pay," Bruce told Backstreets in 2007, "It's become a thing just because I haven't played it. If I had played it, nobody would give much of a damn if they heard it or not! Just because it hasn't been played..." We'd say he gives the song too little credit. But if "The Price You Pay" was a thrill on an intellectual level tonight, "Higher and Higher" was all visceral. Says one regular showgoer: "It was the best, most exuberant Bruce Springsteen performance I've seen since the end of the Seeger Sessions tour. He was so into it. His hands, his posture... he became Jackie Wilson performing that song." Great solo work at the bridge, too, from Curt and Roy.
In between, they broke out "Wrecking Ball" one more time, and Bruce sang the Spectrum's praises: "This is our last night in this old sweatshop... We're so proud to be in one of the last great rock 'n' roll arenas." He offered up Born in the U.S.A. start to finish, windmilling hard enough to gash his finger on the intense title track. "Cover Me" was rocking, too, with a fiery solo from Nils. "The River" was an unexpected highlight following "The Promised Land."
More curveballs in the eight-song encore. First up, a real taste of the old days, as original E Street drummer Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez took a seat at the kit for "Spirit in the Night." "Behave yourselves," Springsteen told the crowd, "Or he'll come out there and slap your asses around!" But Bruce himself was the one who came out, circling the pit and singing "Hazy Davy got really hurt" from the riser at the back. By this point, the air in the venue was electric, the crowd in a frenzy, as "Loose Ends" came next by request. The great, long-lost River outtake (and eventual Tracks track) doesn't always go over with audiences the way it should, but tonight, at this point, Springsteen could do no wrong. And following that with "Kitty's Back" didn't hurt matters at all. "Kitty" kicked ass, with Charlie's organ solo kicking over to Curt's trumpet, then Roy's piano, then finally over to Bruce's searing guitar, his body torqued.
Introducing the band that needed no introduction during "American Land," Bruce hollered, "Spectrum!... You've just seen... for the very last time... the heart-stoppin'..." you know the rest. But there were still four more to come: by request, a very nice, and nicely apropos, take on the Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me," followed by "Sunny Day," "Thunder Road," and, we imagine, the last Rocky-fied "Rosalita." Three hours and 20 minutes, the longest show yet of the tour. That's how you close a venue. Bring on your wrecking ball. And Pearl Jam, you've got your work cut out for you.
