Springsteen at Super Bowl!


Recommended Posts

Off the wire from Backstreets.com, a long-standing Bruce fanzine and website:

 

"GOOD EVENING, AMERICAN FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASTS!"

Bruce is ready for some football

So we've got a concert date for 2009, and it's a big one. After months of rumors, the NFL made it official last night, announcing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be the halftime entertainment at 2009's Super Bowl XLIII. In recent years the Stones have done it, U2, Paul McCartney, Prince and Tom Petty... and now, some three-and-a-half decades later, Mike Appel's plan comes to fruition. Super Bowl Sunday is February 1, 2009; the game and the halftime show, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL, will be broadcast worldwide in more than 230 countries and territories.

I don't think Bruce would be very happy about lip-syncing during a live performance.

Petty didn't lip synch. Bruce won't lip synch.

 

Seems to be persistant rumours that they are already mixing a new record which will be released either just before Christmas or just before the Super Bowl. Possibly an E Street farewell tour to follow.
