The Who at the Super Bowl

Do they like... hate fans? It's the first superbowl show I've seen where the fans weren't on the field. The lights were cool though, better than seeing fans there.

Great show though, I was hoping for Pinball Wizard and was ecstatic when they opened with it. Cool medley though, probably my favorite half-time show that I've seen in my lifetime.

That was a pretty cool show. The lights made it all the better. And the medley on it's own wasn't too shabby either.

The lighting effects were really cool.

There were some spots where I thought some instrumental parts needed to be louder (see the keyboard solo in Baba O' Riley)

Pete's playing is as good as ever.

Roger can't hit the high notes he used to, but he did well on the notes he hit. His YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH on Won't Get Fooled Again was better than I expected it to be.

The song selection was excellent.

Overall, I think that they gave it all they had and did a great job.

I was supremely disappointed that Pete didn't smash his guitar.

The rest of the performance was good, though.

I dunno, I'm with the folk who thought it kind of sucked. Daltry is getting rather old. I couldn't help but cringe at parts.

vocals were cringe worthy
Starkley did a good job

I saw them 2 years ago and Daltrey sounded a lot better then. Maybe he is just pushing his limit. I still thought it was ok though.

I was waiting for the scream in Won't Get Fooled Again, and just when it's about to happen, they went to a SUPER long/wide shot of the stage, and you could just tell that he didn't actually do it. Aww.
Also, lol at Townshend's shirt opening at the bottom and showing his gut for the entire performance.

I liked it though, as far as The Who performances in the last decade go, it was pretty good. Better than the VH1 Rock Honours performance in my opinion.
