Springsteen Sizzles at Super Bowl

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are no strangers to marathon-long, high-energy concerts. Cut that into just 12 minutes and cram it between two halves of one of the biggest annual sporting events, and that's enough to drop the chicken fingers for. In fact, Springsteen would demand it as he and his band took the stage at Sunday night's Super Bowl halftime show.

"Step back from the guacamole dip," Springsteen yelled. "Put the chicken fingers down!"

From there, Springsteen and Clarence Clemmons stood back-to-back as the band launched into 'Tenth Avenue Freeze Out.' It was after this and before 'Born to Run' when the rock icon got a little excited and slid into the cameraman. No blood, no foul, though. The band got their obligatory promoting in with a quick, choir-backed version of their new single, 'Working on a Dream,' before wrapping with 'Glory Days,' and a cheesy moment to boot: a referee tossed a penalty flag after Springsteen and Co. went over their allotted time.

At least Little Steven kept his nipples covered.
