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 Aug. 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 Sept. 14.
Foxborough officials voted last week to extend its concert curfew by 15 minutes, to 11:30 p.m., for Springsteen.

His music AND his politics SUCK. He is a lame excuse for an American. Total P.O.S. Read up on him.
You can’t argue with someone when they’re right. I wouldn’t even call what he does singing. It’s more like shouting and mumbling. I will never see what the big attraction to him is. The only band I would still pay to see would be The Eagles, and now Glenn is gone.
I thought you people said “rock star”.
Oh please Hank III played for 6 hours straight. The Gratetull Dead used to play for hours and hours also.
That should be a record for crowd abuse! Springsteen has no voice he just screams, if you ever heard his real voice isolated you would run from the sounds!
