New Kids on the Block, Disney characters, Warren Moon, 2,000 local children, Audience card stunt
Unlike previous years, the halftime presentation for Super Bowl XXV was not shown live. It was pre-empted by ABC News in favor of coverage of the ongoing Operation Desert Storm. The halftime show was instead presented in an edited format during the post-game show at the conclusion of the game.

XXVI 1992 Metrodome, Minneapolis, MN
Gloria Estefan with Olympic Figure skaters Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hamill

XXVII 1993 Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
Heal the World: Michael Jackson and 3,500 local children.
The halftime show, unlike in many previous years, featured only one star performer, Michael Jackson. The show, held at the Rose Bowl, opened with doubles of Jackson entering the stadium in each corner. The finale featured an audience card stunt and a choir of 3,500 local Los Angeles area children joining Jackson as he sang his single "Heal The World." The selection of Jackson for the halftime show was in response to sagging interest in recent performances, notably in the two years immediately prior. NFL and network officials decided it was necessary to sign top acts for the halftime in future years to boost future viewership and interest.

Rockin' Country Sunday with Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, The Judds

XXXIV 2000 Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA
Tapestry of Nations, Phil Collins, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, 80-person choir
Edward James Olmos (narrator)
The halftime show was based on the year-long Millennium celebration at Walt Disney World's Epcot. The ten-minute show featured 125 drummers and percussionists, a full symphony orchestra, larger-than-life puppets, aerial dancers, a multi-generational choir and advanced pyrotechnics.

XXXV 2001 Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
The Kings of Rock and Pop Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock (pre-recorded intro skit) Aerosmith, 'N Sync, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Nelly
'N Sync started the show by running from the northeast corner of the stadium to the stage, which was at midfield. Hundreds of cheering fans then surrounded the stage. 'N Sync and Aerosmith each played two songs apiece. The show concluded with all of the performers joining together to sing Aerosmith's classic song "Walk This Way."

XXXVI 2002 Superdome, New Orleans, LA
U2 with a tribute to 9/11 victims.
A heart-shaped stage featured a banner scrolling the names of the nearly 3,000 people who perished on September 11, 2001.

XXXVII 2003 Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA
Shania Twain, No Doubt, Sting
The show kicked off with country music super-star Shania Twain, who sang her new single, "Up!" in a medley with "Man! I Feel like a Woman!" Twain left the stage, which featured a video screen floor, on a rising platform as if she was lifted by balloons. Following Twain, No Doubt and Sting performed. The show concluded with Gwen Stefani joining Sting for the last verse of "Message in a Bottle". For the second year in a row, NBC broadcasted a special 20-minute live broadcast of SNL featured Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey anchoring the "Weekend Update."

XXXVIII 2004 Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX
Jessica Simpson with University of Houston and Texas Southern bands,
Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Nelly, P. Diddy, Kid Rock
The show featured six star performers, and featured the controversial "wardrobe malfunction." Jessica Simpson started out the show with the TSU "Ocean of Soul" marching band. Janet Jackson then entered on an elevator for her first song. On a smaller stage, P. Diddy, Nelly, and Kid Rock (wearing an American flag) performed. Janet Jackson returned to the stage, then was joined by Justin Timberlake. As a dramatic (and, pre-rehearsed) end to the duet -- on live television -- Timberlake ripped away part of the bustier of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast. Her exposed nipple was obscured by a gold, star-shaped, nipple shield (a "pasty"-like covering).

XXXIX 2005 ALLTEL Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
Paul McCartney
Songs performed included "Drive My Car," "Get Back," "Live and Let Die," and "Hey Jude." The audience sang along on the "nah-nah-nah-naaah" finale of the last song.

XL 2006 Ford Field, Detroit, MI
The Rolling Stones.
The stage was in the form of the Rolling Stones' trademark iconic tongue logo. The group performed three songs: "Start Me Up", "Rough Justice", and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". The Stones performed on the largest stage ever assembled for a Super Bowl Halftime Show -- 28 separate pieces were assembled in 5 minutes by a 600 member volunteer stage crew, creating the dramatic, signature Rolling Stones “tongue” logo in the center of the field. The Halftime Show was viewed by 89.9 million people, more than the audiences for the Oscars, Grammys and Emmy Awards combined. In the wake of the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy with Janet Jackson, ABC and the NFL imposed a five-second delay and censored lyrics considered too sexually explicit in the first two songs by briefly turning off Mick Jagger's microphone, to which censoring the group had previously agreed. However, the choice of The Rolling Stones sparked controversy in the Detroit community because the band did not represent the traditional Detroit "Motown Sound" and no artists from the area were included.

XLI 2007 Dolphin Stadium, Miami, FL
Prince, Florida A&M University Marching 100 Band.
The twelve-minute medley of songs was interspersed with spirited guitar solos. The show was performed in heavy rain that drenched the stage, shaped in the artist's "Love Symbol" logo.

XLII 2008 University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
The stage was in the form of a heart, with a "Flying V" (the silhouette of which resembled an arrow) guitar piercing it. He performed "American Girl", "I Won't Back Down", "Free Fallin'", and a shortened version of "Runnin' Down a Dream."

XLIII 2009 Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Songs Performed: "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "Born to Run", "Working on a Dream" and "Glory Days."
