'What Love Can Do', Bruce Springsteen premieres


A very nice setlist by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Philadelphia's Spectrum on Wednesday night. Highlights include the world premiere of "What Love Can Do" from the "Working on a Dream" album and "Outlaw Pete" was given a much needed rest for the first time this tour. Bruce opened the show with "Thundercrack" a fan favorite from the early 1970s and perfect for a Philadelphia crowd. The entire "Darkness on the Edge of Town" album was played for only the second time this tour, and so far no other dates have been scheduled for a full playing of this classic 1978 record. Also nice to see "Human Touch" back in the setlist, he played it at the Oct. 8 Giants Stadium show. Before the final song, "Rosalita," Curt Ramm played "Gonna Fly Now" - the theme from "Rocky" - on the trumpet.

Show began at 8:31 p.m.

Patti Scialfa was there and Max Weinberg played the entire show.
