I'm seeing Petty on Wednesday night. Huge fan of the man, but somehow have never seen him in all my years. Gone Gator. Should be cool.

Enjoy the show, moonie.
It'll be very cool.

And don't miss Winwood's set.

That was before I really got into his music though, so I'd probably feel different if I saw him today. The Super Bowl show bored me too, actually.

No.

No comeback...Your knowledge of music always impresses me, as well as your comebacks.

In reply to the last few posts. has there been a Super Bowl Halftime show that floored anybody? (IMHO Prince came the closest, probably because I did not expect much). That is why I have mixed feelings about Bruce playing the Super Bowl. Yeah, it would be great to see him there, but Bruce is spontaneous, and to have his hands tied would take a lot away from the performance.

But then again it would sure beat Justin Timbersnake.

Caught the final two numbers of Steve Winwood's set . Outstanding -- really got the crowd fired up for Petty .

Gimme Some Lovin' was the last number .

I had lousy seats. Shades of Rosa Parks.

Maybe that was the problem.

I didn't like the set list. Last Dance with Mary Jane is the worst song they ever did and Running Down a Dream is stupid too. Some more filler in there like Face in the Crowd and it gets down to around 10-11 songs I liked, and only 2-3 of my Petty favs (Losers, Learning to Fly, couple others maybe).

The Petty show at the new Alpharetta Arena was so hot it blew out all the walls and it is now an amphitheater. They played songs with Windwood, a couple mudcrutch songs with his bro who lives in the ATL, some Wilburys, and the crowd stood and rocked out for nearly three hours. I had sweet fan club seats for under $100 up front as well. Petty is very fan friendly!

Best show I have seen in many years!!!
