Bruce rocked. But u2 rocked better.
it's clearly obvious bruce was paying tribute to the fly by pumping/shoving his crotch into the camera.
When I saw what Bruce was doing with the mic stand, my first thought was, "WFT? Is he going to do a pole dance?"
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm pretty sure that Bruce has been doing the slide (usually into a sea of fans) since way before the Fly was concieved.

I love both. And to be honest, even though Bono's voice was completely shot- U2's performance was better. Bruce's wasn't bad- but his singing was really bad today. He was just yelling words not even close to the melody.
And the audience and energy wasn't that good for Bruce. U2's performance was momentous. Bruce's was fun. It matter what you like more.
...But Bruce slamming his crotch into a camera and using the mic stand to outperform Prince for the phallic rock pose were both really damn funny!
brucespringsteen was lamo. it wasnt even close. if you thought that was good then you have to lump in prince as well.dontkid yourself. Bruce's guitar wasnt even plugged in and those songs were lame-oooooo. maybe if i was 50

I think Bruce just pushed the Stones to the bottom of the list, I still rank U2 as number 1, followed by Prince then Michael then Boys II Men then Bruce. He was rockin out and it was alot of fun, even though he can't really sing the songs properly anymore. Good times
I dont really follow Bruce or know what his live performances are like, but I was thinking to myself, that his voice sounded pretty bad. I thought Glory Days sounded good but the rest was just eh. Not sure if that's just how he usually sounds lol.
But his live shows are amazing, to judge him on 12 minutes isn't fair. I think he did try to cram too much Bruce into 12 minutes.
The broadcasters will often insist on backing tracks for broadcast especially in case of technical difficulties. Doesn't mean the music isn't live for those at the event but it may not all be live on the broadcast. Bono always insists on live vocals because he can't be arsed to lip sync properly. After all, there's no guarantee he'll remember the words right. LOL

And if I recall, only Bono and Edge were "live" for the U2 halftime show? Anyone recall?
I guarantee you that if this had been either during the middle or at the end of a tour, Bruce's vocals would have been much stronger. He's always a bit rough at the start of a new tour.
Believe me, the man can still sing. Catch him during the tour and you'll agree.
