The Who SB Halftime Show

[Forget Favre]

So did anyone watch The Who?
We did and were more impressed by the groovy light show and fireworks, than the music! LOL!
You could tell by the terrible dry vocals that this year they weren't lip synching for sure!
And it just looked odd to me to only see two members instead of four at the end taking bows. How can the Who that I know just be two members now?
What did you think?

I think it's time to stop with generation Grand Pa and go with something a little more modern. Most 20 somethings and many 30 somethings had no idea who "The Who" was, only recognizing them when "Who are you" came on as that "Group who plays the intro to CSI!"

It's time to change things up a bit. I'm not suggesting going back to the MTV teeny bopper format, but there are several awesome bands that are a bit more relevant to today that would do a phenomenal job as a half time performer.

I agree.

And I was wondering if they would have done "Who Are You" if this had been on any other network.

And I don't want to just hear snippets of 6-8 hit songs. Maybe they could get a 20 min. show and play 2-4 whole songs.

Dogs catching frisbees would be good enough for me... I've never been one to give a rip about the half time show. That is when I re-fill my beer, empty my bladder and check my e-mail or whatever else.

I tell you what Miley Cyrus should do it next year

Well we had it playing in the background while we played UNO for halftime, so I didn't exactly watch it. But the times I did look over I realized why we were playing UNO in the first place. The only thing exciting was the effects.

I've said it before, it is seriously time to get more modern acts out there. Can we find a band that can match the intensity of the SB maybe?? This crap is really getting old (no pun intended).

I can't think of the last half-time show I actually watched. They've all sucked up valuable football time in my book.

If she stays as popular as she is she will do it.

Then again, she wouldn't have to be since The Who no longer are.

I don't blame you guys at all for having your attention elsewhere.
That's a good idea. I'll have to figure out someother way to distract myself next year.

Somewhere online a reviewer thought The Who act matched with the energy of football.
Maybe.
But yeah, they should get a younger act in there.
I guess they just want to make sure the baby boomers are still watching the SB.

I'm sure the idea of The Who performing at a SB Halftime Show sounded good in theory, but in reality, it's just not going to work. Especially since you pointed out earlier that there were only 2 remaining members. Now, I am in no way ripping on The Who here, they were a great band (keyword:were). I understand that maybe they've been trying to expose the young crowd to the good music people listened to back then, but I'm sorry, it's just not doing it. We need to put bands up there that are in their prime NOW, or at least getting there.
