Top Five Super Bowl Half-time Shows

Tomorrow is Super Bowl XLII. Really, the only reason to keep teaching roman numerals now that Rocky is in his sixties. And though it is probably not going to happen, I was thinking what are the top five songs I would want to hear Tom Petty play tomorrow? Though I probably won't hear any of them, here they are, in order:

1. Don't Come Around Here No More...all-time favorite Petty song.
2. Shadow of a Doubt (Complex Kid)...I am not sure if this was ever on a Petty album, but he did it at the Bridge School.
3. Changed the Locks...I don't want to put in a bunch of covers, but Petty did the soundtrack to the movie "She's the One" and sang this Lucinda Williams song on it. I love it. G F D chords. Repeat 80 times. Awesome.
4. Even the Losers...It couldn't of been easy to forget about me.
5. Honey Bee...give me some sugar.

This opens a Pandora's box of top fives.

Top five Super Bowl Half-time shows:
1. Led Zeppelin (keep your fingers crossed on the reunion tour)
2. Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band. March 29th at Key Arena, I can't wait!
3. Neil Young...all by himself with acoustic guitar and harmonica.
4. Pink Floyd...reunited Gilmour, Waters, Mason, and Wright.
5. Van Halen...David Lee Roth of course, and we will have the old bassist Michael Anthony with the Van Halen brothers.

The only one of these that I think is remotely possible, is Van Halen. I don't see anyone else doing it. I find it hard to believe Bruce has not been asked, and the others are total pipe dreams.

If Led Zeppelin played half-time, top five songs:
1. When the Levee Breaks
2. Ramble On
3. You Shook Me
4. How Many More Times
5. In My Time of Dying
Please note, these are not simply my favorite Zep tunes, but what I would love to see on a small stage in front of 100,000 people in the middle of a football stadium.

I will come up with my top fives for the others soon. We are going to Costco! Pretty nice little Saturday.
