Bruce Springsteen solicits a young audience member to help sing the chorus of "Waitin' on a Sunny Day" while performing at the "Hard Rock Calling" concert in Hyde Park in London on June 28, 2009. The song is from "The Rising" album and its theme of wanting to be happy again is specifically meaningful in the context of the album's explicitly themed September 11 songs. The song is reflection of the simpler world prior to September 11. The song has become a standout in concert performances by Springsteen and the E Street Band. It was a centerpiece of The Rising Tour, often played immediately after the somber "Empty Sky" and "You're Missing" to lift the crowd's spirits. From the beginning, his performances of it featured crowd interaction, with the song's simple chorus making it easy for the audience to assimilate and sing along en masse. Springsteen commonly picks out one or more youngsters from the front of the pit area and has them sing along on the song. The concert at Hyde Park was part of the tour to support the "Working on a Dream" album. The show was filmed and subsequently the video "London Calling: Live in Hyde Park" was released on DVD and Blu-Ray.
