If attendees at Bruce Springsteen’s concert in Philadelphia on Wednesday seemed to be checking their watches a lot, there was good reason.

Springsteen and his E Street Band played the longest U.S. concert of their career at Citizens Bank Park in Philly on Wednesday, turning in a performance that wound up at the 4 hour, 4 minute mark, Billboard reports.

“Thanks @springsteen for all the pre-1975 gems last night in Philly from a fan since ’74,” wrote one concert-goer.

No doubt babysitters across Philadelphia were also cheering, as they racked up some overtime pay courtesy of The Boss.

The new record inched passed the group’s previous personal best, set little more than a week ago in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
