Orlando 2008 joins Tampa 2008 as the second half of a two-show celebration of life for founding E Street Band member Danny Federici who passed away six days prior. This cathartic, 25-song set mixes core tracks from Magic with three from Bruce's debut album ("Spirit in the Night," "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" and "Lost in the Flood") and features a special guest appearance by The Byrds' Roger McGuinn who leads emotional readings of "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" in the encore. Rarer still, the show opens with the only performance ever of the rock version of "Blood Brothers."
