[deanP382]

Anyone else notice the guy falling at 0:09 when he tries to catch the guitar?

[bkre8tive]

Great Performance! He's still 'The Boss'

[nikitalovingmusic87]

I would like to say RIP Clarence you will be missed. To all those who are hating on the Boss, go kick rocks. I was there performing background with him. They killed, we killed. #bestnightofmylife

[MrEwant1980]

Clarence has to be the 3rd most famous saxophone player in the world (after Lisa Simpson and Bill Clinton)

[AndrewJBoyer]

@MrEwant1980 Id say Clarence First, Lisa 2nd, BIll clinton 3rd

[hawk2299]

springsteen in the boss of rock and roll lady gaga is not even in the same genre...she is pop...she will never be as good as the gentleman, artist, musician, he is one of the most talented men in rock and roll...they don't make um like this anymore...american idol has ruined country and pop...

[stratocaster1986able]

0:10 Nobody else find that incredibly funny. Woah....

[zkeeper88]

God, give us back Clarence Clemons, and will give you Lil' Wayne

[ixcuincle]

He should do the SB every year

RIP Clarence

[Metal8909]

I couldn't remember this show in the least bit, but just watching this brought it all back, I remember seing everything

[superweegee]

jesus, Bruce is in godlike shape to be 59 at the time

[jan8138]

R.I.P Clarence..There will never be another saxaphone player like you..

[yinkee55]

RIP CLARENCE CLEMONS

[DemiGod410]

R.I.P To the BIG MAN

[redhead1504]

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are in a whole different league to the shite people are churning out these days, their music and lyrcs mean something and touch on the shit that the ordinary people of the world go through-at least in our capitalist society that is, and for all his success and the trappings of fame, wealth (which from what ive read he thoroughly fuckin deserves) hes always given 110% at his gigs and has stayed true to his fans and his music. r.i.p Clarence Clemons(Big Man)

[RedSkys1992]

well miss u big man

[arouska]

The Big Man joined the band. RIP

[bruceshetty]

An EPIC... performance...by the BOSS....... saw all the other performances .... U2 and Tom Petty... come very close.... Aerosmith , Rollingstones ,Who and Pauls was average... rest was just THRASH....... Cuz all those names are ever green Legends... it takes a lot to come this far......

[BRICKS2626]

Who honestly thinks that men watching the super bowl want to see fake performers who wont even be remember in the next 2 years? I die a little bit inside when I see comments saying my favorite childhood performer does not compare to BEP, or Justin Bieber. Gimme a fucking break. If you like Lady Gaga or Kesha, cool, but it'll be a cold day in hell when they play at the Super Bowl

[funnycomics11]

whoever hit dislike obviously dose not no what good music is

[doug5421]

This beats the hell out of the fucking Black Eyed Peas

[RossTheHick]

1,000,000 times better than the black eyed peas

[gillianseed]

PUT. THE. CHICKEN. FINGERS. DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

[miszfabulous]

LOVE BRUCE SORINGSTEEN I AM 17 AND NO THE LYRICS TO EVERY SONG

[SirTeabag]

lady gaga would do a muich better show than this. in fact lady gaga is way better than this old man

[TheEmulsified]

@SirTeabag are you actually being serious? No single person on the planet is better than Bruce Springsteen. He isnt known as 'The Boss' for nothing.

[jan8138]

@SirTeabag Lady Gaga is a trans freak! Come on now Im not even a big Springsteen fan but Gaga sucks!

[GoonerJim1]

Like him, don't like him, but in my British perspective Springsteen is a great slice of Americana - the hopeful, idealistic side of our Yank cousins. And from that perspective, the Superbowl's a perfect arena for him and the E-Street Band :)

[midbsaj]

This is what you call Charisma - the Black eyed peas were okay this year but their performance didn't hold a candle to this!

[taylor6655]

ya F$%& off black eyed peas

[herrasosa]

BEP were much better than Springsteen. They should bring Kesha or Lady Gaga next time, not an old burned out performers like The Who and Springsteen, bring the real performers, let the others retire in peace, they are not needed anymore.

[jan8138]

@herrasosa Springsteen was not retired he was on tour actually and the BEP sucked ass! I mean really fucking dancing ice cube heads on the stage! wow...thats just amazing and fergy grinding up on slash ya thats amazing....and yeah they do need to get younger people but Springsteens was bettter than the bep's they sucked ass....face it...and Gaga is a man....kesha's a drunken whore... there ya go.

[Radiohead1010]

only this man can make the sax look cool

[frankritland]

i die inside when i read people say they think lady gaga and kesha is better then bruce springsteen...

[Radiohead1010]

@frankritland when that happens everyone dies a little

[aweinster2]

milion times better than black eyed peas

[Rebound321]

Guys guys guys!... you're forgetting Lady Gaga, not she would be a 100 times better than BEP and a 1000 times better than Springsteen and a 1000000 times better than The Who

[3m1n3m153pic]

@Rebound321 your a fucking idiot for saying that. The Who cant be matched by a bratty little tramp who gets wasted and probably has 8 types of STDs. and Bruce Sringsteen is The Boss, what are you a fucking 12 year old?

[Rebound321]

@3m1n3m153pic True, the Who cant be compared to her, the Who are much lower in the chain, true. You know pretty well as me that she propobly dont have any diseases, im a 20 year old and i mostly listen to old school hiphop, im not a fucking 12 year old.

[3m1n3m153pic]

@Rebound321 You just put one of the greatest bands in history under a person who's music will last about 5 years and then nobody will ever remember it. She probably does have diseases and you know it and your probably white trash trying to act cool listening to rap and hip hop and wears your hats backwards like a dumb bitch

[Rebound321]

@3m1n3m153pic Your now just being ignoarnt saying she has diseases. I dont really try to act cool, if you would see me you would view me as a pretty average guy, i dont wear any hats backwards, my pants are at the right place, im not a white trash or a redneck or whatever, im a white northern european. techniquely i cant be a bitch cause im a dude, very mature to use the word "bitch" and "dumb".

[3m1n3m153pic]

@Rebound321 You misspelled ignorant trying to call me ignorant. Also, you never denyed the fact that i stated in the message before this, you never even talked about what the video was about. Calling somebody a bitch is just an insult and it doesnt really matter if your a boy or a girl, and lastly, im not really being immature by calling you a bitch or dumb.

[Rebound321]

@3m1n3m153pic i have the right to misspell things, english is not my 1st language. Okay, i disagree with you on the disease thing, there you have it. Just because of the genre and style of music she makes does not mean she has diseases, your just judging a book by its cover. Being polite and having the right manners shows maturity, those were not polite words you used.

[3m1n3m153pic]

@Rebound321 Im judging by her songs and the way she acts. If she didn't want people to assume she was a whore she should stop acting like it. Another thing, if your too sensitive for cussing I'll stop.

[Rebound321]

@3m1n3m153pic its her style, she got famous by her style, just like Lady Gaga, both of them would be average and be out of the buisness quickly. Before you totally blow up, im just been messing around, i really never would put Kesha above Springsteen, not that im a huge fan of Springsteen or anything.

[3m1n3m153pic]

@Rebound321 Thank God. But The Who still is awesome

[Rebound321]

@3m1n3m153pic oh yeah sure, i dont listen to them much tho.

[jan8138]

@Rebound321 Okay well when she was a man basically when she was born....she acts liek a whore on stage AND off stage.,

[Rebound321]

@jan8138 You know i was kidding about me loving Kesha, right?. She was a man? really, common stop, just because you dislike an artist doesnt mean she's a transsexual, you know very well she has always been a girl, Lady Gaga on the other hand is more likely to have once been a guy, there were speculations of that. You know why Kesha acts like that, cause if she wouldn't she wouldn't be famous, like Lady Gaga, it's their style. If your gonna make it now in the biz you need have some identity.

[1000vevo]

Kesha would have a better perfomance than Springsteen if she'd do the halftime show

[herrasosa]

@1000vevo True, she'd be alot better

[Lebron23VEVO]

@1000vevo I 100% agree with you, BEP were much better than Bruce, one of the best halftime shows in the past years

[jan8138]

@Lebron23VEVO Black Eyed peas sucked ass.

[Kirkatron713]

@1000vevo I'm sorry but Ke$ha? At least Springsteen has real talent. Not one of his songs has utilized autotune whereas the former lip syncs everything that computers have generated for her.

[1000vevo]

@Kirkatron713 it's not about talent, it's about entertainment. For example Madonna was not a very good singer, but she was a great entertainer.

[TheMysteryair]

Bruce Springsteen puts on the best concerts and sings so amazing no one can really beat him :) Go BOSS!

[banderollen123]

Bruce Springsteen's half time show was 100 times better than The black eyed peas.

[HeroOfTheGuitar]

@banderollen123 Springsteen's half time show was 1,000 times better than the black eyed peas.

[atkins316]

The boss put this years superbowl show to shame. This year was by far the worst in years. The Boss was the best of the Decade.

[Wispifyed]

@atkins316 Prince's was better

[Thisisyourlife1231]

This is what a half-time show is supposed to be. No disrespect to the Black Eyed peas, but they aren't Bruce. Their show was good because of Choreography.

[viveracolor]

I love the half time s/bowl shows.

I did some research and apparently Michael jacksons was the most watched performance ever, by a huge margin. to be expected i guess.

[declannorton]

I just noticed that the crowd were kept back and were not involved in the Black Eyed Peas so there was no atmosphere involved.

[TheElusiveBirdMan]

This is pure fucking America right here. The heart and soul of it, living breathing in music.

The Black Eyes Peas are why the terrorist hate us, this man is why they envy us.

[valckee03]

in my opinion, this was the best halftime show ive witnessed. . .

[Biggins33]

killed it!

[AnolKill]

the who=Peas in greatness

[macc621]

I can't people actually had the audacity to say that the Black Eyed Peas would be the best halftime show ever. Please people get some musical taste and not the unoriginal autotune pop shit that is destroying the music industry

[MSandTSproductions]

why waste their time on the black eyed peas when you have bands like this?

[Guitaraman55]

1:Aerosmith

2:U2

3:The Who



[Kirkatron713]

@Guitaraman55 U2 blows dick!

[itstristanyo]

If you actually think BEP's performance was better than this, then you clearly have no clue about real musicianship

[1000vevo]

Black eyed peas were better than him

[pageman100]

@1000vevo its about the music not the visuals. hmph.... people these days....

[1000vevo]

@pageman100 im more of a springsteen guy but BEP give a better show

[mae382]

@1000vevo you haven't got a clue do you?

[1000vevo]

@mae382 yubb, last time i checked BEP were more popular TODAY than Springsteen, nothing against him, i personally favour him over BEP any day of the week.

[hurleyskateava]

@1000vevo Who is BEP?

[Kirkatron713]

@1000vevo fuck you

[1000vevo]

@Kirkatron713 okay, ill fuck my self

[muskyownz]

BORING.

[cseslar3]

They should just bring the boss back for every halftime show. Black eyed peas were terrible and dont even get me started on usher coming out of no where?

[cseslar3]

They should just bring the boss back for every halftime show. Black eyed peas were terrible and dont even get me started on usher coming out of no where?

[Anet99]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuccccceeee!  Ain't nobody like the Boss and the E-Street Band.

[aceofsorrow]

I love the Black Eyed Peas and Usher...but damn, too much show and not enough music! It was really bad this year...Bring THE BOSS back!

[emorph]

i got tired of watching the current half time show cause it sucked beyond all levels, and needed reassurance in music.

[levi777ish]

@emorph same here

:) Black Eyed Peas had some good stuff 8 years ago but now it sucks

[wow13d]

Best halftime show ever! Last year stunk with The Who...hopefully The Black Eyed Peas will be great this year...but nobody does it quite like The Boss!

[rockandrollforever23]

12 of the Boss just isnt enougth, i thinks they shouldve gave him the rest of the game

[KattRiddle]

If THE BOSS tells you to put the chicken fingers down - you BETTER listen.

[iheartyogabbagabba]

DAMN IT. THE BLACK EYED PEAS ARE 2011 SUPERBOWL LHALFTIME SHOW?!! WHAT THE FUCK?! I WANT MY MONEY BACK...

[MrRazorback87]

@ bowdred The first song is Tenth Avenue Freeze Out

[YXESmaI12]

bosscocked at 3:18

awesome

[nicholsonal]

@naurus401 wow why did u even leave that comment it was the best halftime show ever so just shut your mouth

[nicholsonal]

The intro is the best

[bowdred]

i was at home standing during this whole performance. i was so excited, bruce has always been bad ass!!!!! what is the name of the opening song he sings

[andywatson932]

Amazing, but 12 minutes is a joke of a time frame for The Boss. Giving Bruce Springsteen a 12 minute set is like giving Da Vinci a napkin to paint the Mona Lisa on.

[nauris705]

WHITE SINGER TRYIN TO HAVE SOUL LIKE A BLACK MAN

[MrARMusic]

@nauris705 what an ignorant comment to make.. he had soul before soul had soul

[brownfightfanatic]

besy halftime ever!!!!!!!!!

[MrARMusic]

@brownfightfanatic well... its hard to top Prince and Tom Petty but its good!

[roxy353]

best performance by far for YEARS

[bowdred]

@roxy353 i agree when bruce start singing i was screaming like i was at the superbowl. the first song he sang he blew it out of the park. what a way to open halftime at the superbowl.

[Psychophreak000]

Bruce was way better than prince. whoever made that stupid mistake :p

[CAYOMluver]

Opening shot = EPIC!!!!

Bruce please come to Peru!!!

[pacmannick]

Bruce Springsteen was way better than Janet Jackson

[MustangRacerZX]

@pacmannick eh thats very true, but I'm not that big of a Springsteen fan, he has a few good songs that I like, however, in my opinion the Aerosmith performance was 10x better than both "The Boss" and Janet Jackson

[danieljohnsonfilms]

this is heaven.

[KattRiddle]

SPRINGSTEEEEEEEEEN!!!! 

[GoExplorers2008]

i want you to put the chicken fingers down!

[evanesp23]

i agree, the who sucked at show time, rolling stones REALLY sucked, but Bruce, baby, Bruce gave a real show, sounded like his prime, danced like his prime, and basically is what American music is about at America's greatest sporting event.

"PUT DOWN THAT CHICKEN FINGER!"

He ain't the BOSS for nothing.

[nikitalovingmusic87]

I was actually at this event singing in the choir, singing working on a dream. IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[CAYOMluver]

Opening shot: EPIC

[CAYOMluver]

What's the first song?!?!?!

[Foolrain89]

@CAYOMluver tenth ave freeze out

[jan8138]

@CAYOMluver 10th avenue freez out. Im not sure but Im sure its from the album Born to run

[BossFan93]

@CAYOMluver

"Tenth Avenue freeze-out"

[buckeyesrule10]

@CAYOMluver tenth avenue freeze out

[nauris705]

@CAYOMluver Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out

[michaelviebrock69]

well im a very observant person but did anyone notice when bruce threw his guitar at the begginging the guy who cought it almost fell lol

[eekalokapuka27]

best video ever. hands down. i love this man. HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY BOSS!!

[MrIIAidanMII]

Whats the name of the first song? And why the hell is "constipation" in the tags list!?

[jan8138]

I think Elvis just lost his thrown!!!

[bnclassic57]

who is the "Who" Bruce is it and was the best halftime show ever!!

[nickmordo]

@bnclassic57 Tom Petty was the best halftime show ever

[jan8138]

@nickmordo Tom petty sucks Ball sacks

[fcvertigo]

Awesome. Greatest showman of them all. Talk about holding the crowd in the palm of ya hand!!

[jan8138]

everything was great except when clarences horn squeaked but GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

[TheEaglesphils17]

bruce FTW

[dmilestha3rd]

put the chicken fingers down lmao...

[kcjazzy]

Well, it really don't get no better then that, does it?

[Zvonok]

Bruce Springsteen's half time show was 100 times better than the Whoos.

[RockRampage74]

@Zvonok THey're seventy. Cut them a break. I love them both.

[SwingRiots]

@Zvonok To be fair to The Who, the sound seemed really off for them (Pete's mike was way too loud, couldn't hear Rabbit etc)

[iheartyogabbagabba]

@Zvonok they didnt rehearse.

[ECgod77]

@Zvonok Who? ;)

[siryuke]

@Zvonok Yeah, well look at the difference of the ages buddy ! ; /

[wwewrestlingfan417]

stfuu u dont know real music when its spitting u in the face

[PoliticsAddict]

wow first of all i love bruce springsteen. and i have every right to call it corny. doesn't mean i don't like it, like i said i love his music. and you need to stop crying over people disagreeing with you. get a life, moron.

[julhardi1]
