My Wish List! It would awesome if Pearl Jam played Super Bowl LVIII. I guess the only way that might happen is if Seattle made it to the Super Bowl! Just a thought! We need a rocking Half Time Show! Let’s Go!

    The only thing that would make this better would be a Packers Superbowl Victory next year. Lord knows they are not going to make it this year. Here’s to hoping they can prove me wrong!

    If they ever have another rock bank play the half time show, I will be beyond shocked.

    It would be cringe worthy, nothing plugged in and the short medley style ain’t their style 

    I don’t see it

    Agreed.. I’m not interested in watching them pretend to play instruments. Leave the SB to the pop acts.

    There is a zero percent chance of PJ doing the Superbowl

    PJ hasn't been relevant to the masses to 20 years at least!

    The Who and Tom Petty weren't relevant to the masses when they did their SB gigs. Pearl Jam is still a name. But they probably missed their chance. I don't think they're going to do rock anytime soon

    15 mins to play 5 songs air guitaring? Actually yes I see them doing it one year, any time you can add an extra few million to the family fortune for your heirs. The reason I think they would play it is because The Who, Bruce, Tom Petty, Paul McCartney, etc. have played it. That’s their job, entertain. Same reason they aren’t sellouts, they realized their job and are just doing it. 

    The question is would they be asked? I think they already have been and missed the mark. 2013-2016 would have been prime years

    An extra few million? Think again. According to Esquire they don't get paid at all... Super Bowl halftime performers do it for the exposure.

    "The surprising truth is that halftime performers aren’t paid to perform at the Super Bowl. Per league policy, the NFL covers all costs related to the production of the halftime show, but the performers don’t take home a paycheck (although the NFL foots the bill for their travel expenses). "

    Yea they don't get paid. At one point the NFL was going to make the performers pay.

    Interesting. Thanks for this info. Now there is no way they’d play.

    Superb Owl halftime act decided months before the playoffs begin, so no way to tie in the band and combatants.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    You raise a good point, however, The Who and Tom Petty had more than a few hit albums.

    This is true.....most acts do it simply for the promotion value.

    Tom Petty and The Who had about 9 or 10 hit albums at the time of their performances. U.S. probably a little less for The Who. Pearl Jam has 9 probably 10 if you want to count Lightning Bolt which was #1 in quite a few countries. Gigaton unfortunately wasn't although it should be. Also there have been performers recently who have had less and are new

    I would like to see this. Who has it hurt in terms of bands fandom?. It didn't hurt the Chili Peppers, Bruce, U2, The Who,  Tom Petty, or Prince. I don't think they want to do it. But if they did I would be for it
