Up next was his newest single, "Put You In A Song," followed by "Only You Can Love Me This Way" and "Somebody Like You"AOL’s The Boot reports he thanked commuters for missing their trains, adding, "I finally made it to Penn Station. To heck with Madison Square Garden, we're gonna play here. We've got a new record coming out today, and we thought, 'What better way to celebrate than to come and bust at Penn Station?' But you don't need to throw money!" After his performance in New York City, Keith boarded the Amtrak Acela and headed to Philadelphia. In The City of Brotherly Love, he performed for hundreds of fans at 30th Street Station.Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" was among the five-song show, and according to theWashington Post, Urban said of the John cover, "It was either that or I do a Philly cheesesteak theme song."
