Call Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band the Marathon Men and Women.

The band broke their own record, Thursday, Aug. 25 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, for their longest show in the United States with a 3:59 long concert, a time confirmed by MetLife Stadium, that featured 33 songs and one marriage proposal.

It happened during the evening's final song, "Jersey Girl," as midnight approached.

"What's going on down there?" said Springsteen in reference to a commotion to his left. "What are you doing. Don't do it down there, do it it up here."

"Love is in the room tonight."

The couple came up on stage to the cheers of the crowd. Check out the Mitch Slater video below.

"The is my girlfriend Jill, we've been together eight years, we've been to a ton of shows together and this is by far the highlight of them all," the impending groom said. "Jill, you're my best friend, I love you more than more than anyone else in the world. I love you more than music itself. Hell, I love you more than Bruce. Sorry Bruce. I'm so happy you said yes and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

The crowd cheered again and moments later fireworks punctuated the scene.

Thursday's concert beat out Tuesday's show at MetLife, which clocked in at 3:52. The band's longest show was 4:05 July 31, 2012 in Helsinki, Finland.

Earlier in the evening, the tone was a bit more serious as "My City of Ruins," originally written for Asbury Park, was dedicated to the the earthquake victims in Italy.

"If you've ever been knocked and you got to build yourself up again, this song is for you," Springsteen said.

Tom Morello joined the band for three songs, including a scorching "The Ghost of Tom Joad." Springsteen noted the 41st "birthday" of the album, "Born to Run," by adding the LP's "Night" into the setlist.

Of note in the audience was Adele Springsteen, Bruce's 90-year old mom.

"My mother's here tonight, without her we wouldn't be here," Springsteen, 66, said. "Take a bow, Mom."

The band plays again Tuesday, Aug. 30 at MetLife and tickets are still available. Visit www.MetLifeStadium.com for more info.
