Bruce Springsteen releases the Philadelphia concert online – Watch the video

Bruce Springsteen has shared online one of the most overtly political moments from his recent "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour". From 4pm on September 9, "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)" is available to stream for free, a video collecting the first seven songs from the tour's latest stop in Philadelphia. It's a show Springsteen chose to tie explicitly to the symbolic weight of the city, which the Boss called "the birthplace of American freedom". Throughout the tour, Springsteen and the E Street Band have paired the music with increasingly outspoken statements on the political situation in the United States and against the Trump administration.
Here's the full concert video.

"I'm thrilled to release our last show from the 'Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour', recorded in the birthplace of American freedom, Philadelphia", Springsteen said. "Throughout the tour, we shook the entire country from one end to the other, and as we did, we took a stand everywhere, openly, in defense of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our sacred democracy, which are under attack from a lawless President and his regime. It's all there in our 'Philadelphia Freedom Cut', I hope you enjoy it."

The footage includes "War", "Born In The U.S.A.", "Death To My Hometown", "Clampdown", "No Surrender", "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" and "Streets Of Minneapolis", the protest song Springsteen wrote in response to ICE operations.
Joining the Boss on stage was the E Street Band, with Roy Bittan, Nils Lofgren, Garry Tallent, Stevie Van Zandt and Max Weinberg, alongside Soozie Tyrell, Jake Clemons and Charlie Giordano, plus the horn and percussion sections and backing vocalists. Also on hand was Tom Morello, special guest at all 20 shows of the tour.

"Philadelphia Freedom Cut" is directed by Chris Hilson and Thom Zimny, edited by Zimny and Sam Shapiro. Producers include Springsteen himself, Jon Landau, Thom Zimny and Adrienne Gerard. The video is dedicated to the memory of journalist and music critic Dave Marsh.
