well, it’s a safe bet that no wardrobe malfunctions will take place.. rock n roll oldies will continue to dominate the superbowl from now on..

This year again the halftime will be much better than the game.

How is Bruce “Oldies” if he is still putting out some of his best work (and selling out shows and #1 records)

My guess is that Bruce will do

Working On A Dream
Born To Run
The Rising
Dancing In The Dark

Born to Run
Badlands
Working on a dream
Dancing in the dark

Mark my words

Born to Run
Badlands
Working on a dream
Dancing in the dark

Mark my words

Nice short set list, but no way The Boss could fit more than three of those in a 12 minute slot–and they would have to be significantly shortened at that.

“This year again the halftime will be much better than the game. ”

Umm, Jungleland2, did you notice that last year’s super bowl was one of the best in the history of the game? The Giants defeated the Patriots, if you haven’t heard!

you never know. some people perform with faster tempo on stage than on cd

Glory Days
The Rising
Born To Run

Something New (Maybe)

And yes – last years Super Bowl was great to watch and Petty rocked!!!

12 minutes, 3 songs:
Glory Days
Working On A Dream
Born To Run

My guess:
1. Born in the U.S.A
2. Radio nowhere
3. My Lucky Day
4. Glory Days

Hard to be a Saint in the City
Jesse James
Ghost of Tom Joad

BITUSA
MY LUCKY DAY
BORN TO RUN

Born To Run is the only one for sure hell do
When i went to his show last year he didnt do a lot of oldies so i dont think he will on the show

W/e it is itll be great

10TH AVE
BTR
1 FROM NEW ALBUM

GET READY FOR THE LAST E-STREET TOUR EVER! PATTI IS BUSY WITH THE KIDS, HAVE YOU SEEN CLARENCE TRY TO WALK LATELY? MAX IS GOING TO CALIFORNIA FOR THE CONAN SHOW, NILS JUST HAD A DOUBLE HIP REPLACEMENT, AND DANNY DIED.

First of all…it will be hard for bruce to play even 1 song in 12 minutes….he adds a lot of stuff to his songs on stage. And for LWG you are as dumb as a fence post. They will keep touring for a long time. Clarence can walk fine i have seen concerts on the magic tour, sure he sat down but he is 67, if u think max would pick conan over bruce you are an idiot. He has always been allowed to leave for a tour. Nils has already said that he is ready and willing to tour again. And sure patty is ok but they don’t really need her. And we all miss Danny but they will tour in his memory.

WOW! dumb as a fence post, then why would the next tour as reported on backstreets.com only last 50-60 shows and feature a whole album to reflect on the past. brucefan let the band end while on top. All good things must come to an end and this band is at it’s peak and would be a perfect ending to a story book band.

To brucefan, To say that Max won’t choose Conan over Bruce, YOU are crazy. Conan is a full time gig, with Bruce, he is at ( pardon the pun ) The Boss’ whim. As far as the network always letting him go for a tour, that was at 12:30, now it will be the Tonight show, a different story there. I guess we could bring back Clarence (Boom) Carter, or Vini (Mad Dog) Lopez. Hell that’s who was drumming when I started listening to Bruce!

BTW – Super Bowl playlist, Workin’ On A Dream, The Rising, and Born To Run, in that order

Glory Days
Badlands
Working on a Dream
Born to Run

Not necessarily in that order.

Should of had ACDC rock the super bowl.

first it is a short tour for a reason conan and leno slide into the 1130m slot summer this year and for what he is going to play
tenth ave
working on a dream
badlands
btr

A melody…
BTR
Youngs Town
No Surrender
Murder Inc.
Glory Days
Roulette
Land of Hope and Dreams

NO SURRENDER
THE PROMISED LAND
BORN TO RUN

..That would do me.

I think the set will depend on if the Giants are in the Super Bowl or not. It won’t be NYC Serenade, but Rosie might come out with the “Swamps of Jersey” reference.

Maybe Devil in a Blue Dress. If the Giants get there.

Do you think he will do that new song…”Working on Some Kool-Aid”??

Prince’s performance was praised as perhaps the best halftime show ever, so let’s see, may be The Boss can top it…may be.

sounds like brucefan has some issues.

Should have been AC/DC. They could have done ‘Hells’ Bells’ ‘For Those About to Rock’ and ‘Highway to Hell’. That would have been a fun halftime! This American jingoism sucks specially when the acts are boring, like Bruce.

Born to Run
Lucky Day
glory Days or DiTD or American Land

For Glory Days and Tom in Vegas, you are still and idiot if you think max would still pick conan over bruce. Conan is just a job for max music is his passion. And he has stated that before. And i no the tour is 50, 60 shows that is because they toured for pretty much a year only about 5 months ago. They aren’t going to do another year long tour right away. Also if you started listening to those drummers you should know is name is Ernest “Boom” Carter. And Bruce has stated himself that he never wants to quit making music and touring. So if he says he’s done, i will accept that but he said i’ll make music and tour until you don’t see me anymore.

for a fun show:
We’re Havin a Party (SSide Johnny song)and Clarence solo into….a rowdy American Land…into Born To Run

I would like to say that AC/DC would have been the right choice, not Brewce Springsteen

ac/dc is good but bruce is the better choice. there is not alot put into ac/dc songs, they all sound the same but they are still one of the best along with bruce.

I like SA 10’s list:

Glory Days
Working On a Dream
Born to Run

A couple concise crowd-pleasers and a new song to promote the new album which will have just come out before the Super Bowl. Of course there’s more on my wishlist, but I’d bet that these are what get played.

… and yes, Prince friggin’ rocked, the Heartbreakers rocked, and Bruce WILL rock.

3 favorites of the boss is impossible. Have it in 12 minutes is miracle. Bruce and the band are the reason we have brotherhood. Been a fan since 1975 the boss is great with or without the E street. Racing In The Streets, Waiting on a Sunny day, spirit in the night

Born to Run
Working on a Dream
American Land

My lucky day
badlands/blinded by the light
born to run

I’m thinkin’ The Rising, Born to Run, Workin’ on a Dream

Yes I agree Springsteen was a good choice, but not the best. ACDC would of rocked the Super Bowl.
Yes the Band is almost finished they are all getting old and don’t need this anymore. Springsteen will continue to tour solo or with others. Good night and farewell to the E-street band after thier next tour. It was a great run ladies and gentlemen. Angry brucefan do not waste your time to respond to me. I will submit my post and not return

Born To Run
Badlands (maybe)
The Rising
and something new from his album

Since he sold his soul to tat company with the star in the name…
the first song will be “this bucket has a hole in it” followed by “Don’t Fence Me In” and lets not forget… “Always” and “To Each His Own.”

the posts concerning the set lists range from histerical funny to the absurd.
the ghost of tom joad, please.
could you pick another slower, darker, introspective song to totally drown out any superbowl spirit ?
the set will be short, possibly 12 minutes.
a good medley of commercial and recognizable radio hits will be featured.
don’t hold your breath for “cover me”.

fuck bruce springsteen as halftime show, im tired of these fucking show is the same every year its slow and always mellow, how bout metallica,or at least something a little more edgier than the new jersey soul searcher i going to fall asleep…… BORING

You know what? I’m sick and tired of reading comments from people who can’t even write English properly (I won’t even go into the spelling!) Get some education and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be able to understand what the Boss is singing about!

You can hear AC/DC at ANY NFL game over the loudspeaker. Hell’ Bells is an NFL staple!
I’m looking forward to the Boss coming to rock Tampa no matter who is in the Super Bowl. B-R-U-C-E!!

Ramrod

any 3 of the above

Let’s throw a house party for 150 million people, Bruce.

AC/DC? METALLICA? What about their music says “AMERICA”? The SuperBowl is nothing but a big beer commercial! Go back to Reagan who thought that Born in the USA was an expression of patriotism and not a scathing indictment of our treatment of VietNam Vets!

BRUCE is the BOSS. We just saw him live, and there is NO ONE compared to him. He is an American poet, a Patriot and a true artist. Emotional and with deep feeling – he loves this Country and will ROCK THE SUPER BOWL. Read his lyrics…that is how you know him. The title’s of his songs don’t always reflect his meaning. READ the lyrics.

You go, Lizypups! If more people would take the time to really pay attention to his lyrics, maybe they’d get the idea! Bruce tells it like it is and, although some may not want to hear it, he’s not afraid to take the “unpopular” stand. (41 Shots (American Skin)

Bruce is lame.

Not so “super” actually on all fronts. The only reason I “might” have the TV on is to watch the commercials……yawn.

Sold out to Walmart. Go away, boss.

Yes I’m a HUGE Fan of BRUCE & The E-STREET BAND…Like anything in life U like him/them or NOT…Why bitch…As 4 the set-list the safest bet would be 2 play the “marketing” game…I’ll be SURPRISED if he pulls out any Great Gem(s)

I like notmozart’s picks. Not in that order, Born to Run will be the first played – has to grab 150 million and that’s the most recognizable – needs his latest – Working On A Dream(appropo for the times) – and Glory Days works well with the sports crowd.

Some of you americans are such dicks,

You honk about having somebody like Springsteen front the super bowl show your biggest sporting event of the year, and then you scream to have somebody like AC/DC who are from Australia with a Scottish frontman, Angus young is about 62 Malcolm is older than that and they hant released a decent album since Back in Black,Someone even said they should be playing highway to hell, that can only really be sung by one person, Bon Scott, so get a grip on reality. all their music sounds the same now anyway. Bruce proved how diverse and talented he was when he released his first album and he has just much innovation imagination and fire today as he did in 1972, AC/DC were firmly estblished in Australia in 1972 so dont play the aged rocker card on Springsteen, you dicks.

BRUUUCE! He is the Boss. He will Rock! If you’ve never seen him, look out! Him & the boys are gonna prove themselves.Twelve minutes aint long enuf,but, hold on to ur seats. Just Wait & see…

What a pathetic performance by this has been.

Bruce and the band rocked and I enjoyed watching them. Especially Glory Days! There’s no good reason that talented all-American musicians should be discarded just because they have been around longer than 15 minutes- being fickle like that is what’s truly lame.
