Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have finished releasing the complete recording of their May 30 performance at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The fourth and final installment of the 'Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour: Philadelphia Freedom Cut' series is now available for viewers to watch.
This release concludes a four-part video project that began in September. The first segment became available on Sept. 9, with the second following on Sept. 23. The third collection, released on Oct. 14, covered the end of the main set and included tracks such as 'My City of Ruins,' 'Because the Night,' and 'Wrecking Ball.'
The new 'Part 4' video focuses on the concert's five-song encore. The sequence opens with 'American Land' and proceeds to 'Born to Run,' 'Dancing In The Dark,' and 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.' The performance ends with a rendition of Bob Dylan's 'Chimes of Freedom.'
Before the final song, Springsteen spoke to the crowd about hope, faith, and the value of standing together during hard times. The complete footage documents the tour's 20-show run, which featured a mix of classic hits and politically themed material. Guitarist Tom Morello served as a special guest throughout the tour.
Chris Hilson and Thom Zimny directed the concert film, while Zimny and Sam Shapiro handled the editing. The project honors the memory of writer and activist Dave Marsh. The series captures the full scope of the show, reflecting the tour's focus on American democracy and freedom.
