Get down on your knees and praise the Lord - it's Bruce time!

Springsteen and his E Street Band are coming back to Philadelphia for a show at the Wells Fargo Center.

On Friday morning, the band's notoriously zealous fans will congregate in South Philadelphia, preparing to see the heart-stopping, pants-dropping, house-rocking E Street Band. They won't leave until hearts have been stopped, pants have been dropped, and houses have been rocked.

This is The River tour, so, for the first half of the show, Bruce and boys (and ladies) play the landmark 1980 double album. The second half, like all shows, is a career-spanning survey of greatest hits and, hopefully, beloved deep cuts.

Here, we give you the ultimate guide to seeing the Boss, whether you've worshiped at the Church of Springsteen for decades or you're just being baptized by rock-and-roll. Either way, prepare to glisten with the holy water of true fans: sweat and tears.
