SB Halftime

[Freak Out]

Re: SB Halftime

I fully endorse Pearl Jam. They are one of the best live performances I've ever seen(4 hours of play time and 2 encores). The energy in the crowd when they play made it by far one of the best concert experiences I've ever had.

That being said I love the Who, but it's really a day late and a dollar short as far as booking them for the SB.

Pearl Jam is my favorite band. Most people only see them as a grunge flameout who made Ten and then went into irrelevance. But Yield is, IMO, their best album and they haven't made a bad album yet. They do live shows better than anyone by constantly exuding energy and never playing the same setlist twice.

They are truly the last great American band.

I saw them on Austin City limits last week and they kicked ass. One of the best shows I've ever seen was a them doing a all acoustic (not really but who cares) set a few years ago.

Pearl Jam is very good. Why not go International and invite 'Stompin Tom' Connors? Really kick it up!

You can tell who their demographic is, that's for sure.

I think it has less to do with the demographic than it does with them being a "safer" choice. They didn't do that kind of performance until Jacksongate. It used to be 10 teenybopper bands trying to squeeze into 10 minutes, but since it came out that Janet's wardrobe worked perfectly, we will see the Who because they're likely keeping their clothes on.

Love 'em. Like Vitalogy better than Yeild. That guitar riff on Satan's Bed is AWESOME. They have plenty of great tunes that would work at a Superbowl halftime. Go Pearl Jam. The Folks would hate it.

I don't understand why we need a rock concert at half time to be honest. I usually don't watch it (I missed the wardrobe malfuction live) anyway.

exactly. I never saw it either. Tasteless over hyped crap usually.

Bring out the Pussycat Dolls! That there is quality entertainment.

Nothing like having a pedophile perform at halftime of the SB. Blech!

you might wanna actually know the facts. Pete was completely exonerated.

[esoxx]

So was Michael Jackson.

For my money, that lead singer is the hottest white chick EVER! redic....

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Nope. Michael paid people off, went to trial. Pete had the CHARGES dropped.

You are completely wrong.

So sad that you notice color.

Pink is pink.

I forgot, he only viewed child porn (admittedly), for research purposes. Good one.

Pete has campaigned against porn on the internet. Pete had NO porn on his computer. The charges were dropped.

Pete was researching for his bio as he has stated that he believes he was molested. Robert Del Naja of massive attack was also rounded up in the sting and dropped.

Perhaps you might actually pay attention to his work, as it clearly deals with this issue. The "pinball wizard"...deaf, dumb and blind...is sexually abused by his uncle.

I guess the idea that the police could ever falsely arrest someone is outside your ability to understand.

On a sidenote, Gomer Doofus admitted to viewing images of people having sex with animals; of course, noting it was for research purposes.

Gomer claimed he was fondled by a goat while staying at his uncle's farm.

Gotta love those reseachers.

Pete probably couldn't afford high priced attorney's to sway the prosecuter to drop the charges. Yeah, that's unheard of.

Ah hell, he's Pete Townsend so I'll give him a pass too. Let 'em play. As long as I'm entertained I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
