What 3 Songs Will Tom Petty Play At Half Time?

[duncan228]

We're running a guessing game in my house today.
Our list of possibilities so far:

Runnin' Down A Dream
I Won't Back Down
Refugee
Free Fallin'
Into The Great Wide Open
Don't Come Around Here No More
Even The Losers
American Girl-(I'm not sure he'll play this after Hillary Clinton used it in the backround last week. Petty was asked who he was supporting in the race, he said that no one wanted political advice from a guitar player. I think he may not use it because of that incident.)

My 3 so far, I'm still thinking about it.

Runnin' Down A Dream
I Won't Back Down
Even The Losers

[Jessica Simpson]

Runnin' Down a Dream
I Won't Back Down
Free Fallin'

The Waiting
Free Fallin

Free Fallin
Learning To Fly

The Super Bowl is today?

[duncan228]

The Waiting and Learning To Fly...Nice additions to the list.

Breakdown or I Need to Know...........probably not though.

Who cares? It will be time to take a leak, fix another
sandwich, get another cold one, take another leak and
settle back down for FOOTBALL. Halftime will be over
if you time everything right.

[duncan228]

Who cares?

I do.
I'm a Petty fan.

I tend to watch the half time show even if I'm not thrilled with who's performing. It's all part of the game to me. It's an event, from start to finish.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

if he does, how much do you wanna bet people start singing along with "free balling"? i know i would if i was there.

[duncan228]

Petty opens with American Girl.
Follows with I Won't Back Down.
Switches guitars and wraps it up with Free Fallin'.

He's one of my all- time favorites, the band I've seen the most live.
I thought they were great. (Although I've seen them much better.)

The stage was cool, his logo, with the guitar through it.

[Spurfect]

i really wanted to see Running Down a Dream

Nice treat.

A Petty FYI:

Best Buy has a 3 DVD, 1 CD set that only they're selling.
Two DVD's are the movie/do entory of their career, the other DVD is the 30th anniversary concert in Gainesville Florida. The CD is alternative versions of some of his hits and some unreleased stuff.
It's a nice package.

There's a coffee table book that is a match to it, I got that at Barnes and Noble.

Good calls D228! I saw Tom Petty about 20 yrs ago and I was surprised by how funny and talkative he was. And in my opinion tonight's show was one of the best for the Superbowl, if you take into consideration sound quality and presentation. Tickets go on sale here tomorrow for Tom Petty in August; I'm getting some!

I've seen them somewhere between 20 and 30 times. I never missed an opportunity to catch them live. I walked out of one show, they were that bad. Every other one remains some of the best concerts I've ever seen. They have great energy, they always mix the set up, pull covers out and rock all night.

[baseline bum]

What's the difference? They're all whiny slow crap. Too bad they couldn't get U2 like in 02; that was sweet.

[CuckingFunt]

The half time show will never live up to Prince's performance.

[J.T.]

Runnin' Down a Dream
I Won't Back Down
Free Fallin'

this jinxing finally got one thing right

Oh wait she missed American Girl. 3 out of 4 wins you a gold star Jess.

[J.T.]

The half time show will never live up to Prince's performance.

Yeah, Prince is one of the greatest songwriters out there. A lot of people's favorite pop songs were written by Prince and no one knows it.

I'm more of a rock fan, but there's some pop that's okay to me, and Prince is one of those artists. Some of his stuff is a little gay to me, but he's got some good stuff too.

Phil Collins would be another mostly pop guy that's cool in my book.

I liked Runnin' Down a Dream and American Girl...but I thought Free Fallin' and I Won't Back Down were too slow for the Superbowl....I think Even the Losers and The Waiting would have been better choices.

I could say the same about Rush. But without the walking out of a show part.



I've seen TP and the HB's twice now. They put on a great show. Might just have to get some ducats to this upcoming show. Winwood opening. Sweet!
