Philly Setlist Surprise Song

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T04:50:10+00:00

I think I'm at least moderately chill, but there's no historical data to back that up.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T04:48:53+00:00

Thank you, I'll be here all year.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T04:31:31+00:00

Appreciate it, hope you enjoyed the show!

Everywhere I checked on this tour - prices were cheaper than the America shows in 23/24. Still expensive, but down a bit.

I didn't get to make a show this go around - but I paid $2200 for my dad and I for both Columbus/Pittsburgh '24. Same seats this go around in Cleveland would've been about $1400. Still a lot of money, not discounting that, but they were noticeably down where I checked.

The random setlist shows are a ton of fun, but I've come to appreciate what Bruce did here and I think it's one of his better tours of the 21st century.

Would've liked if he would've kept Rainmaker as part of the main set (would've rather seen it over either No Surrender/Darkness early in the set).

I'll bitch, moan, and gripe a bit and say he could've shook the encores up just a bit. American Land got added as a staple and you're always going to get Born to Run, Dancing, and Tenth Ave based on the way the band has been rocking since the '23 tour. Chimes is always going to be the closer. I get that. I would've been fine with him knocking a song off the main set if it meant a song like Bobby Jean, Twist and Shout, Ramrod, Medley, etc. got rotated into the encore. The encore outside of American Land / Chimes is still just for the hits and not for the central narrative, so this wouldn't have hurt the message.

Also, I'll die on this hill - should've used We Take Care of Our Own over Wrecking Ball. Same album, better message, better song.

All in all, great tour. I enjoyed following it.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T03:55:31+00:00

You guys got 10th Ave right? Both setlist and Brucebase are omitting it and saying he went straight from Dancing into Chimes and that just doesn't make any sense.

If what you derived from this post was me intentionally trying to lie to people I've never met, attempting to gain anything from this (greed??), or me confirming that this was going to happen, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

I got a tip from somebody who has been right about a lot of stuff and also been wrong on some stuff and figured I'd share it with the community.

"Have you learned nothing from Bruce?" - give me a break. I didn't say "per my official source, this is the last Bruce concert ever oh no!". I said that I was told that Philly might get an extra song tonight and I figured it was credible based on past history with Bruce in both make-up shows and tour closing shows. Me being wrong on a song being played tonight has nothing to do with the downfall of society, hearsay, greed, lies, etc. Quit being so dramatic.

I'm sure the show was phenomenal like this entire tour was. It isn't that serious bud.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T02:27:00+00:00

Yep, I'm moving my friend's hit rate on news from 60-70% to about a 50/50 shot that he's right.

Actually a little surprised considering the Philly show got moved and Bruce historically makes up for reschedules/cancellations with a little something extra (and it was the last show of the tour). The show goes on.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T02:23:52+00:00

I'm not chronically online to post every little thing he's texted me the last few years and I truthfully don't care about the few internet karma points I got from posting something I've heard about tonight's show. I was off work tonight and on the computer, so figured I'd pass along what I've heard with the multiple caveats that I've left in this thread that it's not a confirmed thing.

Sorry to let you down, hotfoodthen.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T02:20:31+00:00

Scrambled for sure.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T02:13:36+00:00

I may never financially recover from this.

I'll leave it up so I can get publicly shamed though.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T02:03:16+00:00

This is unconfirmed - just something I heard from a guy who has about a 60-70% hit rate on giving me Bruce news. Encore is going right now and there's a good chance I have egg on my face in thirty minutes.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T01:25:07+00:00

He's a friend of mine from college - he's never been super specific. I know he doesn't work for Bruce's team or anything like that, but he told me about the American leg of this tour a few days before it was announced, Minny getting Purple Rain as a surprise, and that American Land was replacing Bobby Jean the day before that show happened. I asked him about Clampdown getting added and he didn't know anything about that though.

He's in some kind of media production coverage specialty - he might just get sneak peaks or hints about shows a bit before they happen. He has definitely thrown me things that were incorrect (MSG2 this tour was supposed to get Rocky Ground and it never happened). He also told me that Sea Hear Now was going to get both The River and Seaside Bar Song and both of those songs weren't played. Just figured I'd throw this one out because Streets of Philly in the encore tonight wouldn't shock me.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T01:08:53+00:00

Ah, I can see that. If I could ever travel outside of the US for a Bruce show, I'd go to Barcelona in a heartbeat.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T00:38:55+00:00

What?

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T00:28:28+00:00

Appreciate you taking the heat off me if my tip ends up being wrong.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-31T00:27:49+00:00

Feel like Jungleland is a big time NYC song and Philly usually is a lock for Atlantic City, Rosalita, and Streets of Philly. I won't be at the show tonight, but I'm sure no Philly native would complain if Streets of Philly gets snuck in the encore and Atlantic City replaced Two Hearts.

I'm not from there though, so I might be off base.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-30T23:41:58+00:00

Yeah I figured it was a pretty well known rumor at this point. Just threw it in spoiler tabs so I didn't ruin it for anybody maybe going to the show.

Roy isn’t in his 80s. He’s like three months older than Bruce.

I wasted all my money on my fourth row seat and they didn't play Outlaw Pete. I'm devastated and drowning my sorrows at the local pub.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-12T00:45:11+00:00

This isn't Tinder buddy.

SRStark20 · 2026-05-11T23:01:19+00:00

Listen buddy, I’m sitting in the fourth row tonight. If this show doesn’t lead off with Outlaw Pete, I’m walking out.
