So I always like to guess what songs the artists play at the big halftime celebration. Any guesses? First song...has to be a gimmie with born in the usa. Then what? I'm going with thunder road, then born to run. He could bust out some kind of medley. What do ya think. Most of you who are watching the game will probably leave the room during this time and I don't blame you. Oh yea I was watching the end of Fast Times At Ridgemont High and jud reinhold was wearing a Springsteen shirt that said Jersey Devil. The shirt was pretty cool definitely would of fit in that t-shirt thread that was on here.

    He should just play songs off Nebraska and keep it acoustic.
    Wonder if he's going to do any shout outs to WalMart?

    This may be subterfuge, but a friend has been working PR all week at the bowl, and facebooked the following:

    10th Ave.
    Working on a Dream
    Glory Days
    Born to Run


    My personal guess is:

    The Rising
    Working on A Dream
    Born to Run

    What are the odds that he'll thrown in something from the new album?


    Odds Bruce pulls Courtney Cox up on stage to dance

    Yes: 10/1

    Springsteen's slide across the stage into the camera guy was wicked!!!

    Is there a clause in the NFL rules that every halftime
    musical act must include a full 40-member gospel choir?

    Ouch - that "ref gag" was painful!

    thank you for not playing born in the u.s.a.

    Thought the energy was great... I'm not a Bruce guy, but that is a WIN for halftime spectaculars.

    I kinda liked how he seemed to be playing the first guitar he ever owned circa 1967.

    Right. Although that was apparently some great speed he was on.


    And I've got to say that The Boss's WWE-like "Sliding Crotch Slam" would be an animated .GIF winner (so someone less lazy should make one).

    thank you for that!

    i enjoyed the show. i would have died in front of the tv if he had played "lost in the flood." of course, he didn't, but i was happy with the song choice. i got very excited when i heard "10th avenue freeze-out."

    I don't really count, because I was never a fan, but I thought it it sucked bad because he wasn't being himself.

    You don't have to be a fan to know the e street band does not have a full horn section.

    Added guitar players, I assumed he would have Patti, but who was the other woman and why?

    Corny jokes.

    The only good half times I can think of were Prince and of course, Janet Jackson.

    I was hoping he would do the song about being "wrapped up like a douche".

    I actually thought Tom Petty was pretty great when he and the Heartbreakers did it. Was that last year or the year before?

    Has Kiss done a halftime show?
