Chef Jim Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 It's now official and something I suspected all along. Chef Jim love music much more than football. Here's hoping for a much more exciting second half. Sixties music rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Not at all horrible by Super Bowl halftime standards. I could have done without Who Are You, though. A pretty poor Who song, IMO. A rousing version of Eminence Front would have been far better. At least they didn't play Squeeze Box (unless I missed it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 A rousing version of Eminence Front would have been far better. It was all the Who could do to get through the songs they played. Rousing? From their daily nap, maybe. OK, I'm done with the Old Who jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 They can still rock. They can, but safely. How ironic is that The Who is chosen to preform at a SB, an event where 'safe' is the key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 And welcome back mac! How's yer head? Feeling pretty good all things considered. Constant ringing in both ears but the pain has eased mightily over the past couple days. I did find out tonight that I probably should have put off my first single malt for a bit longer. One decent double really knocked me on my ass. Combined with the Keppra that I'm on for the next month the effects were a bit over the top. Ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained!

We don't currently have any Irish in the cupboard and you know how difficult it is to get to an honest to goodness liquor store around here.

Lori Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oh, and FWIW, the guys in the stadium said there was a major delay between the live show and the broadcast. Talking a good 20-30 seconds.

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Overall an unimpressive performance and a bad decision to hand the halftime show over to a couple of 65 year old "rockers". Here is an unfriendly review of the performance. Roger Daltrey's upper register has been endangered for some time, and on a big stage he resorted to chesty bluster. He and Townshend harmonized like bickering walruses. Not far from the truth. They were very rough from the start. Pinball Wizzard was embarrassing. Does anyone under 25 even know what pinball is? They did improve vocally a little as they warmed up. The special effects/light show really saved their bacon. Without it, the show would have been a total bust.

The critic gives too much weight to the idea that people are actually watching the SB based on the halftime show. No way will people not watch because the halftime show sucks. People watch the game, bask in the opportunity to interact with friends and frankly are often more interested in the commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I grew up listening to The Who. Played Quadrophenia and Tommy till the needle was blunt.

el Tigre Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've never been a fan of The Who. And last nights performance definitely didn't suddenly turn me into a fan. That said,I don't get the people who put them down cuz of their age or declining abilities. Of course they don't sound as good,THEY'RE GETTING OLD! It happens to everyone,and seeing a favorite band perform their hits pleases those who are fans. I've got no problem with these older acts,as long as they don't just "mail it in".
