In  defense, a live mix for broadcast under these conditions is
an extremely  difficult thing to pull off becuase there is no real world
rehersal  possible.

The musicians in the E Street Band were pre-recorded.  They were  miming to 
the track while Bruce actually sang live.  At least that's  what one of the 
rockers reported tonight on the radio.
 
Why pre-record the band?  Because in the short amount of time allotted  for 
setup there was no way to actually complete a fully miked setup.   Apparently, 
this is how the halftime show has been done for years.
 
Bruce singing live to a pre-recorded track --- halftime karaoke!  If  any of 
this needs revised, please feel free to offer a correction.
