darrin_h2000 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 This was totally do-able...did they even try...I love Tom Petty...but I think not booking Zeppelin was an all time screw-up...since it was in Wake of this show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastSpartan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Why would Led Zeppelin go as far as to bring themselves down to that level of performing at the Super Bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huw Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 What? Go to all the effort of making the O2 show a fitting memorial to their past achievements & then throw it all away and reduce themselves to the level of an intermission background cabaret at a sporting event? Never in a million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Knebs Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 doing a Super Bowl half time is a throw away gig and smacks of a band needing ca$h ...heck no I do NOT want to see them do it- ever. The only thing worse would be to do an MTV unplugged special... oh wait, nvm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Its our equivilent to playing for the Queen in the UK...a high honor... So you think a game of football is "your equivalent" to our Royal Family? That says a lot about diffderences between the UK & the USA right there! Leaving that aside, I've had a little look into some of the recent bands that have perfromed this show, & I see that past Superbowl performances have been surrounded by controversy over miming, and poor sound. That seals it - why the heck would anybody want to expose themselves to that? It's a situation where lots of folks mime, those who don't mime will be rumoured to have been miming anyway, and the chances of a great performance are limited by the notorious sound problems. Oh - and the audience didn't come to see the band, they came to watch the game. Honestly, it gets worse the more I read about it. My view is unchanged - this would have been (and still would be) a daft move for Zeppelin. Edit - the horror keeps on coming. From a thread on TGP about Beyonce miming to the President: Super Bowl is always lip-synched, ever since the console rebooted 2 minutes before the Stones went on. Once in a while there'll be some live vox, but the band is always playing to track, and the TD has the backing tracks for vox, to switch to if something goes awry. Too much riding on it to have dead air or a horrible mix. So that's what you're suggesting Zeppelin should have done...
