Super Bowl Weekend
It’s Super Bowl weekend, folks. Who else out there thinks that either Monday should be a national “recovery” holiday, or the big game should be moved to Saturday to allow for one day of rest before returning to work. More people would show up to work on Monday, productivity would increase, yada yada…
So it’ll be a surprise to no one that, for the second year running, I’m more looking forward to the Half Time Show than the game itself. Last year, Prince bathed in the Purple Rain at Dolphin Stadium to rave reviews, and this year, Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers will get their chance to wow the millions upon millions of viewers right across town from me in Glendale, Arizona. I’ve seen TP about a half dozen times over the years, and have never been disappointed. I’m glad he’ll have his moment in the spotlight, he deserves it.
Predictions: “Free Falling” opener, “American Girl”, “Shout”, and “Running Down a Dream”.
And look for a Benmont Tench nip-slip at 2:23 of “Running Down a Dream”.
To get us psyched up for Super Bowl weekend, let’s take a trip back to last year’s amazing half-time show, courtesy of our purple friend…..
Part 2 is here.

I’m going to go out on a limb and go with an “American Girl” opener into “Running Down a Dream”, “Refugee” and “Free Falling” for the closer.
Oh, and my pick is the Giants by a field goal.

Okay, so “Refugee” was wishful thinking. Great set…
Pete
You nailed the opener Michael…. Well played.

WOW; what a great show … landed yesterday afternoon in Zurich, just returened from the PMA exhibition in Las Vegas, but could somehow manage to stay up all night long to see Tom & The Boys play it BIG at the Super Bowl. Running down a dream; what a touch down… Marco (… very tired, but extremely happy) …
