Springsteen Resets Mark for His Longest US Show

by Associated Press

   PHILADELPHIA --

   Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band just don't want to leave the
   stage.

   Wednesday night's concert at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia lasted
   nearly four hours, four minutes, breaking the previous record for the
   group's longest U.S. show set last week.

   Philadelphia Daily News sports statistician and Springsteen fan Bob
   Vetrone Jr. clocked the show at four hours, three minutes, 46 seconds.

   The band played four hours August 30 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

   The Boss' longest show in the world was four hours, six minutes in
   Helsinki, Finland, in 2012.

   Springsteen's 75-show U.S. and European "The River Tour" wraps up with
   a show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on September 14.

   Foxborough officials voted last week to extend its concert curfew by 15
   minutes, to 11:30 p.m., for Springsteen.
