Best SB performance in a while. As usual the haters are out in full force.

Get a grip. Many us are fans of The Who; it is just painful to see an old band like this sounding really old.

 

[Debbie Downer]

These old hippies are killing me. Let's go already.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

It's pretty safe to say that Freeney wasn't really injured.

Pretty sure they rested him for two weeks after an obvious injury in the AFCCG with hopes he'd play like he has so far. If the Saints didn't prepare for him to be great, that's their fault.

"You Really Got Me" is a rock song written by Ray Davies and performed by his band, The Kinks.

.who do you have in mind that should be playing tonight that hasn't done the SUper Bowl already.

The PoliceRadiohead

Those are the first two hugely popular bands that came to mind.

This will never happen.

 

[JZilla]

Radiohead

Nothing like a little avant garde electropop to get the crowd going

About time for REM, no?

 

[meanjoegreen]

But I agree w/ Daltrey is done.

I don't think so. He doesn't sound that different than he did years ago.

 

[wazoo11]

or they'll do 45 seconds of like 10 different Who songs...

This is the WHO?! I thought they were some country singers.

turn in your rock music card.HTH.

 

[Zegras11]

I like The Who a lot, but this is embarrassing. Daltrey has no voice left.

He is getting better....terrible start.

this.

 

[Popinski]

About what I expected, which is not much, but not terrible.

 

[Sack Boy]

Best SB performance in a while. As usual the haters are out in full force.

I'm enjoying the performance. Love The Who.

Maybe he's just out of practice. It has gotten a little bit better in the last minute.

 

[HellToupee]

Daltry for his age sounds ok but Townhend is really off

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Best SB performance in a while. As usual the haters are out in full force.

Pregame to XL with Motown theme was best in the past ten years IMO. This is good though.

 

[buster c]

To those bashing The Who, what are you measuring them to? The guys are 60+, playing live in fornt of millions of people...who do you have in mind that should be playing tonight that hasn't done the SUper Bowl already. I agree the music is just alright, I'm not an over the top Who guy but I like some of their songs and I don't think they sound nearly as bad as some of you are carrying on about. Anyone seen the SNL guests each week? They bring in some of the younger bands or groups and many times they bomb live.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The PoliceRadioheadThose are the first two hugely popular bands that came to mind.

The Police don't play together too often, last tour was purely for them to cash in after missing out on a lot over the years. And Radiohead is absolutely one of my favortie but I don't think the Super Bowl and a football stadium is really the right venue for them but that's me. I'm not sure they are as popular as you and I would liek to think...they still don't appeal to everyone.

Probably not, but they have enough rocking and well-known songs to where they could do a halftime show and get a huge reaction. Not sure if they would actually do it, though.

 

[RudiStein]

I guess they're not going to play it. That's too bad.

You Really Got Me

From the wiki page.performed by his band, The Who.

 

[ChrisCooleyFan]

You guys can thank Janet

 

[Mister CIA]

Lemme suggest Spinal Tap for a next year's halftime; alternate suggestion, Reverend Horton Heat.

 

[habsfan]

That was like going to a Who concert and getting a free football game...

 

[Zegras11]

Senior Citizen Wasteland

 

[JZilla]

Well that was adequate

Foo Fighters will get this gig before some of the other bands mentioned

 

[Sack Boy]

CBS apologizes for that interruption to the Superbowl.

True, in regards to The Police, but I am sure they would take the cash grab and do a great job if they did a SB halftime show. Radiohead could easily do a set of "Paranoid Android," "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Creep" and get a big reaction. I am not suggesting they come out and give the millions watching "Pyramid Song" and "How to Disappear Completely."

 

[jwb]

I'd love to see them book Neil Young, and have him say "forget the greatest hits medley.... here's 12 minutes of Down by the River"

LOL - he'd be just the guy to do that.Btw, that's 3 CSI songs so far, right?

Yea, they covered every base. It was ok. Predictable and safe. Just what they wanted.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Puppy Bowl seems to have better production values than most of the Super Bowl ads. Hope they don't have a doggie-humping malfunction!

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Decent show. They really should have collaborated with T-Pain though.

 

[Sack Boy]

Senior Citizen Wasteland

I want to see Justin Timberlake.

 

[wazoo11]

Muse would be perfect for a halftime show.

most of their stuff is awesome live.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Foo Fighters will get this gig before some of the other bands mentioned

Ah, that is a good pick, too. They could do a set of "The Pretender," "Monkey Wrench" and "My Hero" and tear the place down.

 

[Frostillicus]

Well that was adequateFoo Fighters will get this gig before some of the other bands mentioned

That would be awesome.

 

[bulger2holt]

I just took a 20 minute dump, so I missed it. Oh well, atleast I feel better

 

[HellToupee]

guess Roger can't pull off Behind Blue Eyes anymore

would have loved The Real Me

 

[Ghost Rider]

Muse would be perfect for a halftime show.most of their stuff is awesome live.

So true, but I am not sure they are popular enough here in the States yet. They are getting there, though.

 

[Sack Boy]

I'll vote for Green Day for the next half time show.

 

[ScottyFargo]

Good schtick going on here guys, you reeled in quite a few.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Lemme suggest Spinal Tap for a next year's halftime; alternate suggestion, Reverend Horton Heat.

That would be so much win.

[Popinski]

Prediction: More points will be scored in the 2nd half.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

JimNorton I'm just glad a picture of Dakota Fanning didn't tumble out of Pete Townsend's pocket.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

The Back-up Plan might threaten Avatar for most revenues.

 

[Steve Polychronopolous]

That sucked. Hopefully Nickleback next year.

 

[fasteddie_21]

In no particular order, halftime shows I'd love to see:

-Prince, again

-Foo Fighters

-Coldplay

-The Killers

-Muse

Thoughts?

 

[ChrisCooleyFan]

17-14 2nd half Colts

 

[meanjoegreen]

Saw him sing it last year and he did it great. They were probably keeping with more energized songs for the Super Bowl.
