Hear Bruce Springsteen’s Full Concert at the Big Joint on WMMR -

Bruce Springsteen may have postponed his two shows at the ballpark this week, but you’ll still be able to hear the Boss live on Friday night. He and E Street Band came to Philadelphia earlier this year for a show at the Wells Fargo Center. We pulled that entire concert off the shelves of the MMaRchives after word got out that Bruce was unable to perform this week due to illness. On Friday at 7pm, on what would have been his second night at Citizens Bank Park, we’re going to take you back to the Big Joint instead. WMMR will broadcast the complete show from this past spring, March 16th, 2023.
