Bruce Springsteen Rocks Philadelphia After Illnesses

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band returned to the stage in Philadelphia after postponing three concerts due to an undisclosed illness. The band played a 2 hour and 45 minute show, with Springsteen in fine voice and displaying lots of energy. The theme of the show is mortality and its motivational properties, with the setlist featuring uptempo rockers, soulful struts, and jazzy swingers. The band, which numbers 18, was razor sharp, and the evening's sound was crisp and clear. The tour continues in State College, PA, and Boston before heading to Europe.
