Step back from the guacamole dip, put the chicken fingers down, and turn your television ALL the way up: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play the Super Bowl! Watch Bruce’s video journal, full performance, and more highlights from this date inside.

My last show of 2012 was a nice Wrecking Ball capstone, with lots of small but satisfying surprises.

No one could have known that this was Clarence’s final show. But it almost seems like Bruce did, because it’s hard to imagine a more fitting tribute to their friendship.

Bruce breaks the longest-American-show-ever record for the fourth time in two weeks while delivering a dream setlist in Philadelphia.
