Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour has been called "one of the most unflinching acts of musical resistance in the nation's history" (TIME Magazine) and on September 9, 2026, the official video will be shared in sequence from the first seven songs of the tour's Philadelphia finale.
With that May 30 show filmed in its entirety — and planned for release in three additional, in-sequence segments through the end of the year — “Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)” captures Springsteen as he “comes out swinging” (New York Times). Delivering a “rousing opener” (Variety) — from his initial remarks through “Streets of Minneapolis” — the footage is a testament to “the power of art to move hearts and minds” (Billboard).
“Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)” will be available September 9th at 10:00am ET, and also features performances of “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Death to My Hometown,” “No Surrender” and “Darkness on the Edge of Town” alongside covers of the Motown classic “War” (written by Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield) and The Clash’s “Clampdown.”
The full seven-song performance video will be available at this link starting September 9, 2026, streaming free on YouTube, Vevo, Spotify, iTunes, Tidal and more.
“I’m thrilled to be releasing our final show from the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour — recorded in the birthplace of American freedom, Philadelphia, USA,” said Springsteen. “On the tour, we rocked the house from one end of the country to the other and, while we were at it, we spoke up everywhere in defense of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our sacred democracy — which are under attack by a lawless President and his regime. It's all captured on our Philadelphia Freedom Cut — hope you enjoy it.”
Musicians on stage for the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour included the E Street Band’s Roy Bittan (piano, synthesizer), Nils Lofgren (guitar, vocals), Garry Tallent (bass guitar), Stevie Van Zandt (guitar, vocals) and Max Weinberg (drums) with Soozie Tyrell (violin, guitar, vocals), Jake Clemons (saxophone) and Charlie Giordano (organ, keyboards, accordion).
They were joined by The E Street Horns and Percussion (Anthony Almonte, Barry Danielian, Eddie Manion, Ozzie Melendez, Curt Ramm) and The E Street Choir (Ada Dyer, Curtis King, Lisa Lowell, Michelle Moore). Tom Morello performed with Springsteen and the E Street Band for each of the tour’s 20 shows as a special guest.
“Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)” is directed by Chris Hilson and Thom Zimny, edited by Zimny and Sam Shapiro, and produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, Zimny and Adrienne Gerard. Sound was mixed by Jon Altschiller and recorded by John Cooper, with lighting design by Jeff Ravitz and Todd Ricci. The video will be released tomorrow in memory of Dave Marsh.
