Description from TheBoots.net (Thanks to Flynn): "Known as "The Birthday Show" as it took place one day after Bruce's 50th birthday, this show was a high point for many, many fans. While the other five shows in Philadelphia on this stand took place at the First Union Center, this show moved 150 yards to the old Spectrum building, a venue steeped in Springsteen history (first arena show on October 25, 1976; great shows in 1978, 1981, and 1984). In another twist, this show was supposed to have taken place on September 16, but had to be post-poned due to heavy rains caused by a hurricane. So the last two shows of the stand occurred immediately after Bruce Springsteen's 50th birthday, and those two shows turned out to be among the best shows of the 1999-2000 tour. Because of the atmosphere and venue, however, this night gets the nod over the September 25 show. Bruce took the stage with a boom box and played a tape of a song, called "Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Nine" that was evidently sung by a female fan who had mailed the tape to Bruce's mother. The band then launched into the tour premiere of "Growin' Up," followed by "No Surrender." Other tour debuts on this ight included "Bus Stop," "Blinded by the Light," and "The Fever." This was also the first scheduled performance of "The Fever" since the Darkness tour; while it was played at the January 31, 1998, Pat King Benefit concert, that was totally spontaneous, but it was rehearsed and on the set list for this show."
