Bruce Springsteen - 2009

Super Bowl XLIII - 2009

The Team: Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band

The Playbook: "I want you to put the chicken fingers down and turn your television all the way up," Springsteen told the television audience at the beginning of his 4-song set, which included "Born to Run." The big finish was a fun version of "Glory Days," with lyrics changed to reflect the game.

The Result:Touchdown. The only thing more American than football is the Boss.
