I now think Fleetwood Mac should do Super Bowl

[Hawkeye]

I use to think Fleetwood Mac as much as I love them shouldn't ever do the Super Bowl. They just don't have enough of those super high energy songs that are both really popular, rocking and not too long. Their concert show stoppers are not really good Super Bowl songs for the most part. And they also aren't the most visually stimulating.

BUT.....................after tonight's Super Bowl featuring Coldplay I think fleetwood Mac have an abundance of possible sets that would've blown that show out of the water.

World turning
Rhiannon
Landslide(if they went sentimental)
Second hand news
Don't stop
Go your own way
The chain
You make loving fun
Gold dust
Silver springs (especially if they do more a medley and it's just the chorus)
Tusk
Big love
Little lies
Stand back
Edge of 17
Holiday road

Fleetwood Mac could have done the Super Bowl in the 90s, but not today.

Today's Super Bowl shows are awful, and so are the performers. Even if Fleetwood Mac did do the Super Bowl, they would have to be the only performers because none of today's musical acts are worthy of sharing a stage with them.

They did SYLM pre Superbowl. If my memory serves me.

Medleys. Those are artistic suïcide. No they should do a Buckingham-led experimentalist album. Commercial suïcide, I know, but all their 'commercial' choices have been that too. So no Superbowl please. Just make an album that nobody wants to hear but me.

Yea you are right.I dont know how the country artist get away with it.

[Macfanforever]

I've been saying that for years.

They probably play Landslide .The could do a hits medley.FB fans dont care and dont want to hear the non hits we like.

Heres last nights performance anyway.The music is not my cup of tea but I record it for some friends on a another forum.

Beyonce looks great.

Interesting that they played a gig without Stevie. Didn't know about that one. Not only that but this was less than 2 weeks after their performance at Bill Clinton's inauguration.

Interesting Rick Vito is playing. I thought he'd left long before then.

Rick played as a favour to Billy. From Rick's q&a:

The Super Bowl thing was put together by Billy Burnette who asked me to do it. I really didn't feel comfortable doing it at first since I was not in the band at the time, but Billy really wanted me to. That's the last time I played with the Mac as a group.

Thanks for sharing that. It felt uncomfortable watching it on TV too. Just 10 days earlier Rick and Billy were nowhere to be seen while the Mac played for Clinton's inaugural ball. Rick left and Billy was not invited for the Clinton gig but they sure needed these 2 guys for this Superbowl appearance. I wonder how much they got paid. Clearly not enough for Stevie and Lindsey LOL.
