    If Bruce and ESB play the stadium before they knock it down, maybe theyll all collaborate on this track at the live show (s) .

    Free Nils Lofgren mp3: "Yankee Stadium"
    With the sunset of Yankee Stadium upon us -- and with encouragement from his wife, Amy, who came up with the seed for a song -- Nils Lofgren has recorded a tribute to the ballpark, available as a free download from his website. Songwriting credit goes to Nils and Amy together; Nils writes in his notes, "My fabulous wife Amy (a Jersey girl), remains a life-long Yankee fan with a great, emotional history of experience in Yankee Stadium from childhood to present.... This song is an homage born of respect and gratitude for all the emotional and spiritual beauty Yankee Stadium has offered to so many, for so long." For the free mp3, along with lyrics and Nils' complete notes, visit NilsLofgren.com. You'll find other fun freebies on his Downloads page, too.

    As previously reported, Springsteen, Joel and some additional, yet-to-be-named artists will join forces for an Oct. 16 concert at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom.

    SPRINGSTEEN SETS MORE RALLIES FOR OHIO, MICHIGAN
    Bruce plans a three-state swing for Obama, Saturday through Monday
    Following Springsteen's performance on Saturday in Philly, he'll hit the road to rally voters in two more swing states in the following days. That will complete a trifecta of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, with Springsteen playing free concerts in each (he's expected to play 30- to 40-minute acoustic sets) in support of Barack Obama.

    On Sunday, Springsteen comes to Columbus, OH (where he also appeared for John Kerry in 2004). He'll be playing an acoustic set at a rally "aimed at encouraging Obama supporters to register and take advantage of Ohio’s early voting period."
    Where: Ohio State University's Main Oval
    When: Sunday, October 5. Doors open at 3:00, showtime is 4:30
    How: For access to the best viewing area, preferred tickets will be distributed starting on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. For ticket pick-up locations, see the Dayton Daily News.

    On Monday, the final day to register to vote in Michigan, it's on to Ypsilanti to headline a rally at Eastern Michigan University's baseball stadium.
    Where: Oestrike Stadium
    When: Monday, October 6. Gates open at 3:00, showtime is 4:30
    How: A limited supply of tickets will be made available Friday, Oct. 3, at Obama campaign offices as well as all EMU ticket offices. Tickets will be given out on a first- come, first-served basis. EMU students will be able to obtain one ticket by showing a valid EMU ID. Eastern Michigan University will expand its normal ticket office hours Friday to accommodate the expected demand. The expanded hours and locations are as follows: Quirk Hall, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Student Center, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and the Convocation Center, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The general public should use the Convocation Center location for ticket requests.

    "Obviously Michigan is an incredibly important state in this election, along with Pennsylvania and Ohio," Brent Colburn, Michigan communications director for the Obama campaign, told the Ann Arbor News. "It's a place where we're trying to do everything we can to make sure everybody's registered to vote."

    setlist / notes: :
    VOTE FOR CHANGE COMES BACK TO PHILLY, FIRST OF THREE RALLIES
    This afternoon in Philadelphia, Springsteen began his three-city tour of Vote for Change rallies for the Obama campaign. After the introduction by a wisecracking Governor Ed Rendell, Springsteen and his acoustic took the stage for a seven-song, 45-minute set that opened with "The Promised Land." "Great to be here in my home away from home, Philly," Bruce told the crowd -- a huge turnout on this Ben Franklin Parkway esplanade -- adding later, "I tried this four years ago... this time, we'll win it!"

    Songs included the relevant-as-ever "The Ghost of Tom Joad," the invitation of "Tunder Road," the determined rallying cries of "No Surrender" and "The Rising," and for fun, "a song I played many, many times at the old Main Point," "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street."

    Springsteen also prepared a speech the occasion, calling for a rock to keep his pages from blowing in the wind -- "Don't throw it!" He began by noting that he'd been writing about the American people for 35 years; he went on to what the Founding Fathers accomplished here in Philadelphia, what they stood for, and what their counsel would be these 200-plus years later: "Do your best to make these things real." Going on to address the difference between promise and reality in America, Bruce had some good laugh lines ("I occasionally play big stadiums like Senator Obama") and wrapped it all up by returning to that metaphor he liked to pull out on the Magic tour, of building a house together. "One thousand George Bushes and one thousand Dick Cheneys will never be able to tear that house down.... Come on, Philly, let's build that house."

    Update: read the full text of the speech at brucespringsteen.net

    Toward the end of the set, the crowd broke into a spontaneous "Yes we can" chant, Bruce adding some percussion on his guitar before offering up one more, a regular from the '85 stadium tour, Woody Guthrie's stirring "This Land is Your Land." And one final message to the throng of voters in Philly: "It's up to you now."

    My dad and I went to the Philly rally, and it was amazing. We waited a long time, but it was worth it... hearing the alternate versions of the songs was awesome. Beautiful day + free Bruce performance + backdrop of the Philly skyline + Obama support = GREAT day. :D

    So now my Bruce show total is up to 4! All in a one year period too.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    After an introduction by Caroline Kennedy, Springsteen told the gathering, "Billy and I have rehearsed a little, but I hope you consider this more like the vice presidential debate."
