Super Bowl Setlist?

OK, the game is two days away... so what's Bruce going to play?

Jim had some good ideas on his Fbook page (though I can't seem to find them now... can you post again?).

Kev and I have been corresponding the last few days... and methinks he's on to sumthin sumthin....

He said:

What are your predictions for his super bowl set list? I say:
The Promised Land
A song from the new album (what is the single?)
Glory Days
B to R


I said:
sounds like you've been to rehearsals... that works big time (though I think it'll be My Lucky Day, rather than Working on a Dream)... Though I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes Born to Run to start, My Lucky Day, then pulls a page from the Prince notebook and plays a cover (remember how Prince did a Foo Fighters song), and then finishes with Glory Days... but what song? who knows... a four song set would be hard to pick ('specially since you can't play too many obscurities for those non-Bruce fans)


He responded:
Perhaps a Buddy Holly tribute song? Anniversary of his death and all? I doubt it, but it would be very cool... Not Fade Away - Shes The One! I'd fall over and spill the guacamole if he performed that!


To which I say:
GENIUS! 50th anniversary... man, you just stuck the landing... I give it a 10!


Let's hope for surprises beyond a set list that looks like this:
Born in the USA
Queen of the Supermarket
The Angel
Man's Job

That would be bad...

Okay - here's what I think:

Mary Queen of Arkansas
New York City Serenade
Reno
Surprise, Surprise

I could be off, but then again, you never know.

Seriously....

My Lucky Day
Glory Days
Born to Run

It's only twelve minutes, so I don't see how he could work in a 4th.

Apparently, you can wager on what he'll sing...

Get you bets in now!

no... riffing on your first set:

Mary Queen of Arkansas
Queen of the Supermarket
Chuck Berry's Little Queenie
then Queen's Killer Queen

and as they pull him from the field and the players return, he can be heard saying, "I can do this all night... I'm the freaking Boss"
