View Full Version : Would the Mac play at Super Bowl?
At today's NFL Super Bowl in Detroit...the Rolling Stones were the half time entertainment. Last year was Paul McCartney. Is it time for for Fleetwood Mac to play this event? Would they even be considered? I think it would be a great but short show. Only time for three numbers...which ones?

Most likely "Don't Stop" in there instead of Rhiannon. Blah

No. Their time is past. But, they did play the Super Bowl in 1993, although not at half time.

Normally I would say no chance. But if they do end up doing a "30th anniversary of Rumours" thing next year, I think it's a real possibility. JMO.

You're right about that...it will be 30 years in 2007. The NFL is wanting to go more "mainstream" with these Super Bowl shows after that Janet Jackson wardrobe debacle. If they can have the Stones, then FM could work. I would like to see it happen. Would Stevie Nicks appear? I think so.

Let's broaden our myopic Rumours-vision. It's the band's 40th Anniversary, let's celebrate THAT. They've already ridden the dead horse named Rumours enough.

That's true. But we're talking the Super Bowl entertainment. FM couldn't play that blues music from the first 10 years at the half timw show. They could play Rumours/Tusk

They could have Peter Green play & sing "Oh Well", the Bob Welch play "Hypnotized", then Lindsey & Stevie come out and they do "The Chain", then on with the football game

OK...That works for me.

It's not "our" myopic Rumours vision, and you know it. WE can celebrate it all we want, Chili. But average/no-obsessive fans probably won't, and the Superbowl sure as hell won't - they want mainstream hits.
If they DO end up doing a tour next year, I'm assuming that it will focus on the Rumours anniversary. JMO.

If so, count me out. I'm sick of that f-in' album. They ain't gettin' any of my hard earned dough. Now, if they broaden the scope, I might change my mind...but, I don't see it happenin'.

That's a good idea..the 2008 game is at the new Cardinals stadium in Glendale, near Phoenix. I'm going to find out what TV network is doing the broadcast and send an email suggesting FM for the show. If the rotation holds it would be Fox's turn

Any of us that wanted to see it, would have to getr Super Bowl tickets, and I dont think I need to say how hard that is...:lol:
One thing is for sure. If Fleetwood Mac plays the Super Bowl there won't be a problem with objectionable lyrics as with the Rolling Stones. Mic Jagger is now complaining that a few words were censored out, even though this was made abundantly clear well advance.

Not that there'd be a snowball's chance in hell of them even DOING "Rattlesnake Shake" ever again.
Also,
"Won't you lay me down in the tall grass & let me do my stuff"...that wouldn't make it through the censors.

What about "Packing Up,Shacking up?" I mean, to us its mundane and we know what it really means. But with over half the country watching it, the FCC might tighten up a bit.

I know I am in the majority and coming out of left feild on this one...but I think that was my least favorite song on the say you will album and tour.

I thought it was a killer live song, and a horrible album song. Lindsey's energy was awsome live. But, his guitar tone in general sucked on SYW, and "Come" was, IMO, THE bottom of the barrel.

Agreed. His voice was my complaint on the SYW version. So high pitched, and not Lindsey. But live it was amazing. But it was like "So Afraid or Come. Pick one." I dunno.

I''l say it again, after seeing the Soundstage, Murrow would have been an infinitely better shoice live that Come in my opinion.

They should make a poll amongst football fans to find out what kind of music they like and go from there.
