Notes: Night ten, the last show of the tour, and the longest at three-and-a-half hours. Bruce and the band absolutely nailed the tour debut of "Lost in the Flood," an amazing performance and the song's first since Detroit, 9/1/78. Another tour premiere provided a fitting epilogue to the E Street reuinion: "Blood Brothers" included a brand new verse especially for the occasion. Also making it a special night were "The E Street Shuffle," "The Promise" and "Atlantic City," each played for the second time this stand. Early standard opener "My Love Will Not Let You Down" also made a welcome return, to bring it all full circle.

Madison Square Garden Notes: 2 words: "The Promise." No show with this song (Bruce alone at the piano, playing it "for the aficionados") can be considered standard. For the second-to-last show, night number nine was remarkable for the intense, rock-solid energy Bruce and the band brought to the stage rather than for the setlist. Tonight's filming surely had something to do with it. Also performed: "Don't Look Back," "This Hard Land," and "Growin' Up." "Light of Day" includes CC Rider/Jenny Take a Ride Setlist:

Madison Square Garden Notes: The first Garden show without "Code of Silence"-- but another new song took its place! The world premiere of "Another Thin Line," another song, like "Code," that was co-written with Joe Grushecky. And it don't stop there. Night five also brought the tour debut of "Secret Garden," plus choice rarities "Something in the Night," "Sherry Darling," and, oh yeah, "Incident on 57th Street." Hell of a night when we don't mention that until 3/4 of the way down, huh? "Incident" came as a real surprise, opening the second encore. Fiddler Soozie Tyrell guested again on two songs, "Youngstown" and "Tom Joad"; Abby Weinberg joined in on keyboards for "Ramrod."

Madison Square Garden Notes: The final stand begins. After all the fuss over "American Skin (41 Shots)," Bruce opened the stand with a different new song--the world premiere of "Code of Silence." We're told it's a "big, screaming rocker" more on that as we hear it. "American Skin" had its first NYC airing too, Bruce let the song speak to itself with no introduction. An amazing set included "Be True," "Roll of the Dice," "Dancing in the Dark," and, for the second time ever, "Further On Up the Road." Setlist:

Notes: Unbelievable. After months of soundchecking, the first new songs make the set since the debut of "Land of Hope and Dreams" at the beginning of the tour. Not one but two world premieres: "Further On Up the Road" opens night two, and a jaw-dropping "American Skin" turns up just a little further into the show. And that's not all that made for a special set, radically different from the first night. Next stop, Madison Square Garden... Setlist:

MGM Grand Garden Notes: For his first show in Vegas, Bruce took the stage wearing a silver-sequinned cape- confirming bets that this would be a little different.

Other Crapsville specials: "Atlantic City," "Roll of the Dice," "Lucky Town."

November 6 / Fargo, ND Patti's still suffering from the perforated eardrum that caused the Minneapolis shows to be cancelled, but the Fargo show goes on without her. It finds Garry stepping up for some background vocals, and Nils taking over Patti's part in "Fall Behind." The show also brings the U.S. tour premiere of "My Hometown" (which had been played previously only in Madrid), for a total of five songs from the Born in the U.S.A. album. "Ramrod" was called as an audible to close.
