Welsh Rich Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah, and that concert was great. Watched it over christmas, bought it for my Dad, fantastic stuff. Always good to see Stevie Nicks as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I actually have not watched it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I actually have not watched it yet. Yeah it is a good representation of the band in their current form, although I do miss Stan Lynch on the drums. Surprise choice for the Super Bowl, it seems like they usually go for more mainstream bands or solo artists ie U2, Janet Jackson etc, but nice to see T.P. get some much deserved airtime.

Analogman Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I read somewhere the other day that The Eagles were the band chosen - but they turned it down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I found all four of them enjoyable. I really dig that kind of stuff -- wish there was more out there like that. I would like to have heard the meeting that took place when they decided it was going to be that long. I still think it's a trip that Ron came back after 20 + years of being gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I wish Ron didn't have to come back, and Howie was alive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
