Petitioning NFL Fleetwood Mac to perform at the Super Bowl in 2017

[MikeVielhaber]

I honestly don't want Fleetwood Mac. I'm not really interested in seeing a bunch of 70 year olds on that kind of stage. They would get skewered. It's great for people to go see their shows and they already like the music and know what to expect. They understand their advanced age. I don't think they will come across favorably to people who know little or nothing about them and are more averse to watching old people perform. People who enjoy the likes of Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and Beyonce. Vocally they aren't what they used to be, especially Stevie and Lindsey. Plus they would have to mime their performance. Those shows aren't live. And since the days when they got people like Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones and The Who, all mostly in succession, they seem to have moved away from those types of acts to more contemporary pop acts.

Right, but for someone that sings and dances it seems more acceptable than for an old school rock band. The whole point to them is to hear their live performance, not to watch them mime. They aren't a particularly active band on stage so it's all about their live performance. It's low on spectacle.

you can't mic , monitor and mix that for live tv especailly the super bowl , where the stage is constructed in minutes no one sings live on television except on SNL ,other shows you can lip synch they prefer it it's easier http://www.vh1.com/news/54545/super-...time-lip-sync/

Maybe the lipsync thing turns the Mac off doing other TV variety shows and the Thanksgiving parades.Most of those shows are liped anyway.

I cant blame them for not doing them.

Me too. I'd rather they not appear. It just unleashes the vitriol from people who hide behind their computers.

Yes.

I questioned myself .This halftime show looks like it was pre- taped earlier that day .It did not have the live feeling to it.

I also noticed the set up time for the artists after the 2nd quarter was shorter then the last games.The halftime chatfest with the commentators seem to go by quick this time around and the set of ads were quick too.
