If you WERE a musician, you would understand why it ISN'T live. American girl is played in D, but is actually in C#. However, on the next song they play in G and is in G, WITHOUT CHANGING GUITARS. This is impossible. Debate over.
I am a musician, and it could be possible that they were using an pedal layout in which one of the effects was a drop tuning to open E flat rather than the standard tuning of E-A-D-G-B-E.
Oh and might I add that it was the greatest Super bowl in a while, despite the fact that my team wasn't in it. =P I was so thrilled the Ginats won! Woohoo! And I also can't believe people were sayin' how crappy the game was..I don't understand, lol. Ok, I'm done, lol.
Great half time show, loved it! I was very disappointed when people I know said they didn't like it. The lead guitarist was absolutely fantastic!! I can't wait to see them on tour this summer! =)
Yep Mike Campbell is great. Very underrated. Tom and the Heartbreakers are just awesome live. My parents took me to see them in '94 I think, but I was too young to appreciate it. Can't wait for this summer! PATS LOSE BABY 18-1!! G0 '72 DOLPHINS!!
Tom Petty does an awesome job in American Girl it my favorite song of his.

Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show > Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show. Prince was so much better and was actually live.

Know music much? wow. These guys are rock pioneers and are the farthest band possible from doing anything less than an all live performance.

This was so good! Tom Petty looks younger here than he did a couple years ago. I wonder what happened??... Whatever it is keep it up.

I believe it's a Duesenberg guitar. A German company that builds beautiful guitars.

Many things. The consensus among those in the music and recording and tv industry is that it was not a live performance.

debate over? you are a tool. I've been a musician for 25 years. This show is live. some people need way too much attention.
rovingstarone 3 years ago
If you WERE in possession of a brain, you'd know damn good and well Tom Petty would never play anything but live. Debate over.

I was hoping someone put it on Youtube cuz my mom was singing through the whole thing and she has a terrible voice. It ruined the experience.

Didn't they only go 17-2, where the Pats went 18-1?

'72 Dolphins went 17-0, which is why they get so much attention, they are the NFL's only undefeated team.

When he smiles during the first verse, you can tell he is really loving it all. Cheers to Tom. He deserves it.
