springsteen “Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band” provided the half-time entertainment at Superbowl XLIII. It was 12 minutes full of great music and energy. Can’t believe that they played 2 songs from “Born to Run”, one of my most favorite albums. They played: Tenth Avenue Freeze-out, Born to Run, Don’t know the title of the new song (from new album to be released in March), Glory Days.

This was a great marketing strategy. During an interview before the game, Springsteen confessed that he is not a football fan and doesn’t watch NFL games. After being pursued by the NFL to play in the halftime show for 10 years, he agreed to play this year, to promote his new album.

Sale of tickets for many of Springsteen’s concerts opened this morning, after that great performance last night. Their marketing strategy worked very well on suckers like me. I bought tickets for the show on April 24th in Hartford, CT. Eagerly looking forward to be at the concert. It will be great.

It is almost 4 years since we saw Springsteen in concert back in Detroit. He was performing solo at that time, promoting his “Devils and Dust” album. That was one great summer of rock music for us. From May to October 2005, we saw Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and U2. Adit got to rock with these legends even before he was born. Hopefully, he’ll develop some musical talent.
