Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s “Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour: Philadelphia Freedom Cut Part 3” is out today, featuring official performance video of eight songs from the tour’s May 30th finale. Capturing the home stretch of the show’s main set, highlights of Part 3 include “My City of Ruins” (described by TIME Magazine as “a call for resurrection and rebirth” on this tour), “The Ghost of Tom Joad” (which the Philadelphia Inquirer spotlighted for its “how-does-he-do-it” guitar work), “House of a Thousand Guitars” (“the show could not have a sweeter centerpiece,” Variety noted) and “Badlands” (whose lyrics, The New York Times observed, “took on new meaning in 2026”). 

“Springsteen delivered a spirited, righteous and rocking finale,” the Asbury Park Press wrote of that Philadelphia show. “The band fired on all cylinders for a nearly three-hour ride of power, precision and passion.”
