Super Bowl Half Time Show

[88-31-10]

Tom Petty is all right by me.
Sure beats Janet Jackson, Jason Timberlake, Christine Aquilerra (sp), et al.
Maybe next year we'll get ZZ Top...........

ZZ Top played at the Orange Bowl this year and rocked.....they didn't run about the stage and dance....just that famous ZZ Top sway.

How many people can say that they have been selling music for 30 plus years?

Paul Anka, Neil Diamond, Wayne Newton...........most of the performers at Branson..........the list is endless..........

Again, I like Tom Petty and he sounded great, just not football or sports type music is all. ZZ Top kicked butt at the Orange Bowl. Going to compare "Sharp Dressed Man"s energy to "Freefalling" by Petty? They get to play 3 songs at most..........I personally do not desire to hear 2 out of the 3 songs being slow is all. And, no, during a halftime performance is not all about the music it is about the experience. If it is about the music then maybe they should have Charlotte Church, Sarah Brightman and Josh Groban signing songs from "Cats" and "West Side Story". If I am jonesing for Petty, I will just turn on the Buzzard and wait....he usually plays right after Zepplin and before Thouroughgood.

This list isn't endless.

1st of all Petty played 4 songs...not 3: American Girl, Running Down a Dream, Free Fallin and I Won't Back Down.

2nd of All the performers you listed above are pretty much lounge acts with the exception of Neil. BUT:

In January 15, 2006, Diamond performed a concert on the opening night of the new Stockton Arena in Stockton, California. Diamond had been paid a $1,000,000 fee to perform, but, due to slow ticket sales and inadequate time to promote the event, the city budget suffered a nearly $400,000 loss that resulted in the dismissal of the Stockton city manager several days later.

In the mean time: In July 2006, Petty released a new solo album titled Highway Companion. It debuted at number 4 on the Billboard charts. In the mean time he's kicking off a North American Tour in May that will undoubtedly sell out from venue to venue.

I figued when you mentioned performing artists over 30 years you would mention the Stones and maybe Kiss. They still rock. Paul Anka...come on man...sheeeeeeesh
