Second night at the old Sports Arena in Los Angeles, home of so many legendary E Street shows since their first 6-night stand in 1981. Tom Morello guests again on 4 songs, and Patti plays at this show too. About one hour before showtime, and while GA holders were entering the arena, Bruce was onstage with some relatives, showing them around and taking pictures, when he took his acoustic guitar and surprised everyone with an acoustic version of «For You» (see photo and video).
One hour later, and with the arena completely filled, Bruce took the stage and opened the show with the tour premiere of «No Surrender», pushing «Badlands» to the fourth slot again. Later, during the encores, came another tour premiere: «Bobby Jean» (an advance of what’s to come in the European tour?). Changes from the previous night include «Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?», «Prove it All Night» and «Racing in the Street» (dropping «The Promised Land»). The original set list included songs not performed, like «The Ties That Bind», «Trapped» or «Thunder Road».
