“Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)” will be released on Sept. 9.
Bruce Springsteen has announced details for the release of the concert film “Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut),” capturing the band’s tour-ending show, May 30 of this year at The Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
The first seven songs will be released, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. ET, with three more segments to be released, one at a time, on later dates this year TBA. The seven-song segment will be available, for free, on YouTube as well as Vevo, Spotify, iTunes, Tidal and more.
Springsteen said, in a press release: “I’m thrilled to be releasing our final show from the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour — recorded in the birthplace of American freedom, Philadelphia, USA. On the tour, we rocked the house from one end of the country to the other and, while we were at it, we spoke up everywhere in defense of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our sacred democracy — which are under attack by a lawless President and his regime. It’s all captured on our Philadelphia Freedom Cut — hope you enjoy it.”
The seven songs in the segment are “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 film is directed by Chris Hilson and Thom Zimny; edited by Zimny and Sam Shapiro; and produced by Springsteen, Zimny, Jon Landau and Adrienne Gerard. It is being released in memory of the writer and activist Dave Marsh, a close friend of Springsteen’s who died on Aug. 14.
