Oblio Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Had to look it up, I rarely listen to FM any more and it was lost in my WOM (Write Only Memory) ------------------------- An interesting example of airplay censorship is Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How it Feels". The censored line is "Let's roll another joint". In the radio version the word joint is kept, but the line is changed to "Let's hit another joint". Therefore, instead of smoking marijuana, the song's couple are traveling to bars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertop Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thought it was really good, compaired to many of the past. But I like Petty and a 12 min. live, not bad. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB Slammin Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I thought it was a good show, surprisingly understated compared to recent years. Poppa, You hit it dead on, and exactly what I was thinking. There was little glam and flash as in the recent past. They simply took the stage .........and played good music. Very refreshing IMHO. tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jopez Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My dad and I looked at each other trying to get involved in the half time show. As much as I enjoy Tom Petty and crew, he just wasn't providing. I kept waiting for some energy to appear and it didn't happen. O well, maybe next year they'll invite Janet Jackson back sans Timberlake. Blaim the woman while the guy gets off scott free. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest srobak Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Not nearly as good of a performance as they might have done about 5 years ago... and his vocals were *rough*... pretty bad, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I thought Tom Petty and the band looked and sounded great. No BS, just a nice straight ahead set. I really doubt that it was lip synced. Shame on the NFL if they make the entertainment lip sync or even allow them to. They can always delay the brooadcast a few seconds if they're afraid of future wardrobe malfunctions or other crap. I thought it was refreshing for a change to just have a band come out and play a nice set without all the excess of years past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jopez Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 See when I heard the "lip sync" I thought it was the reverb going through the stadium I was picking up on.... either way IMO they sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me - did anyone else hear Bradshaw's F-bomb about an hour before the game when Howie was putting on the hat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 I can't believe the bad vibes about TOM PETTY .... He was good, Prince was good, The Stones could have been better, Sir Paul, I left the room .... What's the real problem with Tom ? 4 Songs, no audio trouble that I could hear, great Mike Campbell guitar parts, it was good ..... What more do people want ?

Joe Shmoe Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Petty puts on a pretty good show, I have seen him a couple of times now. Just no frills rock & roll. The tour is being kicked off in Grand Rapids this year.... I am thinking of going to it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy joe Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Tom Petty is coming back to AZ Aug 20, got my tickets today. I got to see them when they were here on their 2006 tour. Cool show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triceratops Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I may be overstating this a bit, but Petty saved Rock 'n Roll for me back in the seventies. I had become a bit of a jazz snob, couldn't get into the three-chord stuff anymore. But Petty's You're Gonna Get It! really got to me. Lots of crisp, entertaining three-minute songs, great attitude, great feel! I saw him live at a small theater in Louisville, Kentucky in the Fall of 1978 and he tore the place up. I personally think that time was a high point of his career. So I've got a soft spot for Petty and the jangly Rickenbacker sound. I think anyone who says that Super Bowl show was lip-synched is clueless (IMHO most people in broadcasting are). All you have to do is watch Mike Campbell's guitar playing and it's obvious that it was live. The show sounded like the 30th Anniversary show in Gainsville. That's what they sound like live, and they still sound damned good--after all these years. I don't buy a lot of concert DVDs, but if you liked the Super Bowl show get yourself a copy of the career-retrospective DVD Runnin Down the Dream. It's an excellent film!

If it did it for you then you aren't overstating. He definitely brought back a lot of the roots of rock that were being strayed from by the majority at the time.
