There are few events as overwhelmingly commercialized as the Super Bowl. The whole spectacle is just one giant advertisement (the game, IMO, has become undeniably secondary). I would be *devastated* if Pearl Jam performed... it would run counter to everything they've stood for over the years that has won my upmost admiration and respect. For me, it would be on par with Eddie being a guest judge on American Idol or the band writing music for a film like "Pearl Harbor." Or them reconsidering their decision to not sell to Viagra the rights to "Alive." I'd still be a fan, but it would never be the same.
That said, I'd bet they'd play: Better Man, Daughter, WWS, Even Flow.

They would do just hits like
Betterman

No way they would do anything that the mainstreem public wouldnt know. Not on this occasion anyway.

What's the difference between that and Eddie appearing in Dewey Cox, writing songs for Into the Wild, appearing in Singles, licensing (might be a record company thing) a song for Guitar Hero, Jeff appearing on MTV's Rock and Jock B-Ball (pretty sure he did), putting a song on a soundtrack for a movie with a CGI penguin or re-writing a classic rock song into a catchy jingle?
