There. Said it. After watching The Who just do what they did, I really hope PJ never steps foot on that stage.
Thanks

Pearl Jam should not ever play the Superbowl because it is always a greatest hits show of greatest hits show and their material alive - evenflow- jeremy - daughter - corduroy - and so forth just would not translate the many millions who watch the superbowl
Did you think they would take the stage at the superbowl and play InMyTree and GTF and Unthought Known - it would be great for "US" but not so much for "THEM" -
Just imagine all the nonsense that would go on here talking about what they did and did not play - Holycow there would be no pleasing anyone in that case

you are not the first who has said that. I never saw the resemblance when I first posted that pic, but a few people have pointed it out. But Hugh doesn't have a whole lot of pics on the net from that era.

no worries!

fuck the Superbowl...i'd say PJ doing somthing like that would be the straw that broke the camal's back for me...one of the reasons i fell in love with this band, aside from the music, was their anti-corporate/anti-war ideology and patriotism.

But you kept you're 10C membership after they signed a deal with a major retail organization? To me that is worse than playing a 15 min show at the SB.

I know I know....I am just saying. I don't even know what songs they would play. The fireworks, the "fans" singing uuurrrghh.

Are PJ anywhere near popular enough to play a Super Bowl halftime show alone? You need something really, really commercial (that's why the Who was a poor choice IMO) to make it appeal to the largest mass audience in the world. Unless it is Brtiney or U2 one artist can't give you that mass appeal. But here is a thought on a different direction that can involve PJ.

Now if they took 3 or 4 90's era bands and had them each play a massive hit of there's you could get people into the show. Maybe Live plays 'Lightning Crashes', PJ plays 'Betterman', DMB plays 'Crash in to me' and the Chillis play 'Give it away'.

things change people change they aren't going to stay the same "angst anti everything" band as they grow and mature
We all change- I love where they are and support whomever they grow to be cause its all about the music that speaks to me.

PJ and sports have always been intertwined

this is entirely possible

and why wouldnt you want to see the band play?

sure would be better than some American idol, R&B, watered down rap, countrified over choreographed BS

i don't think PJ is lacking in either- do you?

Chill out they won't play the Superbowl for another 15 to 20 years.Who cares if they sell out when their 70. I think it's a great honor anyone to play the Superbowl, evenif the performances usually aren't too great. The Superbowls a huge part of American culture.

do you mean that anti-corporate stuff like signing with a major label or target. if pearl jam plays the Superbowl i would be happy because they would be happy. this is their job to sell records and connect with people so who am i to say they shouldn't do that.

ummmmmm...no....being a band that makes music i don't care about record labels...i mean that is a given...even RATM had to sign with a major label....it's the shit beyond that....like how Chris Cornell canceled a show his fans were going to at the last minute to do a show for some corporation that makes $500. jeans...shit like that i have a fucking problem with!.....it would make me ILL if PJ ever did some shit like that!!
