Live 27 Jun 2000 / 01 Jul 2000 version
| Bruce Springsteen: | We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may |
| That come the twilight should we lose our way | |
| Well if as we're walking a hand should slip free | |
| Well I will wait for you, and if I fall behind wait for me | |
| Steven Van Zandt: | Baby, we swore we'd travel, darling, side by side |
| That we help each other stay in stride | |
| But each, each lover's steps fall so differently | |
| I will wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me | |
| Nils Lofgren: | Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true |
| But you and I know what this world can do | |
| Patti Scialfa: | So let's make our steps clear so the other may see |
| Lofgren and Scialfa: | And I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me |
| Clarence Clemons: | [sax solo] |
| Clarence Clemons: | There's a beautiful river in the valley ahead |
| There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will wed | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees |
| Well I will wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for me | |
| Clarence Clemons: | I will wait for you, and if I fall behind wait for me |
| Patti Scialfa: | Ooh I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me |
| Steven Van Zandt: | I'll wait for you, baby, baby please wait for me |
| Nils Lofgren: | Darling, I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for me |
| All: | I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for me |

It first aired on 07 Apr 2001 and was the first ever major televised Bruce Springsteen concert.
In 2001, HBO received six Emmy Award nominations and won two for their acclaimed film.
The full HBO broadcast was released on Live In New York City, both the album (released on 03 Apr 2001) and the home video (released on 06 Nov 2001).
