The second show in LA brought changes, new songs and a special guest: Mike Ness, from southern California punk-rock band Social Distortion. Bruce and Mike dueted on «Bad Luck» (from Social Distortion’s classic album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell), in one of the most impressive moments of the show, and the whole tour. Later on, Ness helped playing guitar on «The Rising». The second, and unexpected, guest of the night was Jay Weinberg, who played drums on three songs («Lonesome Day», «The Rising» and «Born ro run»).
Other notable changes and additions to the show: «Candy’s Room» (right after «Badlands»); «No Surrender» and «Adam Raised a Cain», a high-energy two-fer (in the place of «Out in the Street»); plus stupendous versions of «Raise Your hand», «Hungry Heart», «Growin’ Up» and Creedence’s classic «Proud Mary». Some moments later another tour debut arrived, with the classic «Backstreets», one of the show’s many highlights.
