The second Philadelphia show came with an encore containing one huge surprise: Bruce Springsteen and his wife joined U2 on stage to play a cover of Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready and they jammed with the band for approximately ten minutes. This came swiftly after the return of Walk On, played for the second time this tour after debuting in Chicago almost a month ago. The original setlist included Original Of The Species and Bad as the final two songs after All Because Of You but 40 was performed instead. Early in the main set, I Will Follow was played for the 700th recorded time (appearing at 667 shows) - of course, so many early setlists are unknown that I Will Follow has most likely been played many more times than this. Nonetheless, it is the first U2 song to register 700 performances, currently eleven ahead of Pride (In The Name Of Love).

The full set was:

1. City of Blinding Lights
2. Vertigo / Rockaway Beach (snippet) / Rock 'N' Roll Nigger (snippet)
