I think Philadelphia has been underrated over the years as a musical region.

Now we have an audience that is so very eclectic. Big, tremendous fans.

I love my fans in Philadelphia, but this is the hardest place in the world to play in. And I think it's the hardest place to play in to be a superstar. Just to be the No. 1 guy. All eyes on you - because everybody wants you to be perfect, but not themselves.

People in Philadelphia are a world apart from New York. They're very different from people in the New York scene. The New York scene wants your visibility and wants your money.

I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.

I live in Philadelphia, and my wife and I do a lot of theater out in the Philadelphia community.

I've been to Philadelphia a lot of times over the years, playing the old Celebrity Room and most of the other clubs around there that don't exist anymore.

I love the dignity in the name Philadelphia, but at heart, we're Philly.

Philly has always been one of our favorite towns to play in, and the fans have been very loyal and very supportive over the years.

Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.
