This kind of thing just leaves me speechless: Bruce Springsteen reportedly greeted his Detroit-area audience Friday (11/13) night with a resounding “Hello, Ohio!” Oops. If I can imagine myself there for just a moment, I think I’d probably have the urge to just get up and leave the show immediately. This is the stuff that Spinal Tap dreams are made of… Related posts: Watch A Bruce Springsteen Live Clip from Last Week Bruce Springsteen to Play Super Bowl Halftime Show Bruce Springsteen in Chicago: I’m Speechless This kind of thing just leaves me speechless: Bruce Springsteen reportedly greeted his Detroit-area audience Friday (11/13) night ...

I dunno about you guys, but when Bruce Springsteen asks me to "put the chicken fingers down," I put those things DOWN. Good thing, too: The Super Bowl halftime show that followed was a 12-minute musical feast, no snack food necessary. The set kicked off on just the right note with "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," the great E Street Band creation myth. Bruce even fit in one of his trademark across-the-stage knee slides there; it might have taken a little out of him, judging by the tired note that crept into his voice when the band transitioned into "Born to Run." But man, those two ... Read Full Story

Posted on | January 27, 2009 | David Allan, Ph.D., an entertainment marketing expert, says Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band’s slotted performance during Super Bowl XLIII’s halftime show is just another example of the NFL playing it safe. “Remember when rock was risky?” asks Allan. “Well now it’s the safest thing to broadcast during Super Bowl halftime, except for country.” Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” at halftime of the 2004 game compelled the NFL to skew away from younger and bolder performers in favor of older and more mainstream acts. “Ever since Janet and Justin Timberlake decided to play dress up, or dress down ...

The following is a list of Super Bowl halftime shows. Due to the large number of viewers that the Super Bowl generates, a number of popular singers and musicians have performed during the halftime show.

In the United States, the halftime show for the Super Bowl is a highlight of the event, can cost millions to stage, and employ hundreds. It often serves as a crossover from pop culture, as Super Bowl Sunday has become likened to a de facto U.S. national holiday, and an event telecast, rather than merely a game. In some years, especially those in which the game itself is uncompetitive, the halftime show can be among most-discussed topics of the day, and is often regarded as watercooler material.

Due to the precise timing required to accommodate the high priced advertising surrounding the halftime shows, performers sing live but to pre-recorded backing tracks. The band on stage plays along with the pre-recorded backing tracks. The guitar solos are also performed live rather than being pre-recorded.

On August 11, 2008, the New York Post reported that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would perform the halftime show at Super Bowl XLIII at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. This was officially confirmed during halftime of the Philadelphia Eagles-Chicago Bears Sunday Night Football game on September 28, 2008.[1] Springsteen had previously been a candidate to perform during Super Bowl XLII, but Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were ultimately chosen.

Brady reminisces about 2002: "Your first chance to play in a Super Bowl and winning the Super Bowl, and of course the circumstances of that year with 9-11 happening and U2 performing at halftime — that was pretty unbelievable." [CBSSports.com]
