Couldn't disagree more. I am fairly sure that it wasn't lip-syncing, and I thought it was produced very well... it also sounded and looked great!

boring yes, good- I'd have to say yes. In this day of MTV (or non-MTV half time shows), I don't have to have lots of noise, fireworks, and hot bizzo's thrusting their mid-sections. Tom Petty's music has been good, and still is good.
...I sound old, and I'm not.... ugh...

Actually, I thought it was one of the better half time shows I have seen. Tom looks bad in HD but he can still sing and has a great collection of songs! Everyone I was with was under 30 and loved the half time show.

I thought the halftime show was great. Good to see an actual band play that is not lip syncing.

I thought it was really good but I'm a Tom Petty fan. Upbeat, talented, inoffensive and most people at least recognize the songs if they are not fans.

Whoever saidf that the lip syncing was terrible must have had a TV malfunction. I guarantee TP would not lip sync

It was far better than that very disturbing thing Paula Abul put together before the game.
Hideous and she wasn't even bad at lip-syncing - she was horrid. | |

Hideous and she wasn't even bad at lip-syncing - she was horrid. Yeah... I saw that too... It was a train wreck... which is hard to do when you lip sync.

Who are they getting next year, Loverboy or .38 Special? Next year's show will feature Molly Hatchett and The Marshall Tucker Band!  .38 Special still performs. They were at some suburban summer fest not far from me a couple of summers ago.

Good Show with TP performing. I was just sad waiting for MJ to play.

Cyclone
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'

I didn't think it was a bad show. I mean, TP isn't the kind of act that really rocks out, but he's good live, and he did play his biggest hits from Full Moon Fever, his best selling album.

I thought it wasn't bad. Certainly better than some previous ones, that's for sure. Pretty harmless, yes. A little stale, maybe. But solid. Didn't grab your attention but didn't make you turn it down either.
