4. He Rocked The Super Bowl
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is, in terms of audience, the biggest gig in music. For 12 minutes in 2009 around 150 million people worldwide got a sample of Bruce and the E Street Band in full flow. In a set full of theatrics including fireworks, a choir, a referee and a knee slide that went viral, it was the energy of the band that made this a great performance. Beginning in silhouette Springsteen and Clemons stood back to back, recreating the iconic cover of the Born to Run album. As the band kicks into a track that tells the story of the band; Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, Springsteen starts out by calling on those watching at home to Step away from the guacamole dip and put the chicken fingers down. Next Born to Run then what was the current single, Working on a Dream. Finally Glory Days just in case anybody wasnt on their feet already. By the time Steve Van Zandt announced that its Boss Time we had witnessed something special. 25 years after Born in the USA the band still at the top of its game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R06FMoT-hkk
