PHILLY GET READY!
Springsteen & Scialfa walk on for U2 encore
Bruce has four nights off between Devils & Dust shows, but he just can’t stay away from the stage. Last night, the Philadelphia crowd at the U2 concert got an extra treat, as the band welcomed both Springsteen and Patti Scialfa for an extended jam on „People Get Ready.“
Chuck Cherico tells us: „After the first encore break, Bono asked, ‚Where’s the guy with the „People Get Ready“ banner?‘ A guy just outside of the tip of the ellipse started jumping up and down, holding up his banner again. Bono said, ‚But we need someone to play guitar!‘ I looked back toward the stage again and saw that a roadie was helping some guy put on a guitar. I assumed it was a fan from the audience who was having his dream come true. But then I took a closer look and saw that it was…Bruce Springsteen. The crowd went berserk.“
As Springsteen came out, Bono sang:
‚People get ready
‚Cause the Boss is in town
He don’t suffer no fools
Or kiss no clowns
The boy is from New Jersey
But he feels home round here
New York – they’re gonna shed some tears.‘
After Bruce took a verse and dueled with the Edge on guitar, Bono had plenty more lyric changes up his sleeve, coaxing Patti Scialfa out onstage as well (see U2.com for Bono’s customized verses).
Paul Callahan writes: „Bono included some ‚Turn it up’s from ‚Mary’s Place‘ and said, ‚We are not a jamming band. How do you end this?‘ Bruce took over from there, and as Bono left with Patti (to Bruce’s mock displeasure), Bruce ended with ‚People get ready, there’s a train to Jersey…‘ which ended the spectacular song to great roars from the Philly crowd.“
