Vampire Weekend descended upon Philadelphia's Mann Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday night, playing a 25+ song set, including a debut of Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia."

The band opened the show with their Father of the Bride track "Sympathy," and offered the Springsteen tune - which the rocker wrote for the film Philadelphia and won an Oscar for Best Original Song - before playing fan-favorite "Step."
