Live 17 Nov 2006 version
Good evening Dublin!
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
Now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're getting ready for a hell of a fight
Gonna see what those racket boys can do
Yeah there's trouble busting in from outta state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gambling commission's hanging on by the skin of its teeth
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday come back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Come on and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and put my money away
But I had debts that no honest man could pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that coast city bus
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday come back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Solo!
Well our luck may have died, and our love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We're going out where the sands turn in to gold
Put on your stockings baby, night's getting cold
Well now, maybe everything dies, maybe that's a fact
But maybe, everything that dies someday come back
Hey!
Well I've been looking for a job but it's hard to find
Down here it's winners and losers, and a wrong side of that line
Well I'm tired of coming on the losing end
So honey, last night I met this guy I'm gonna do a favor for him
Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight (meet me tonight)
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City!

The above lyrics are for the live 17 Nov 2006 performance of ATLANTIC CITY at Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, during The Seeger Sessions Tour. The live 17 Nov 2006 version of ATLANTIC CITY was released on the Live In Dublin album and home video in 2007.
At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.
Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
The album charted in several countries, but only made it to #1 in Ireland.
| Country | Chart | Peak position |
| Australia | 40 | |
| Canada | 31 | |
| Denmark | 5 | |
| Ireland | 1 | |
| Italy | 4 | |
| New Zealand | 14 | |
| Spain | 3 | |
| Sweden | 2 | |
| The Netherlands | 4 | |
| UK | 21 | |
| USA | Billboard 200 | 23 |
The video was edited by Emmy- and Grammy-winner Thom Zimny, with audio mixed by Bob Clearmountain (including 5.1 surround) and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
