Anyway they had "The Who" playing. I was at a party with a lot of people who had no idea who they were, so (like most of the time anyway) I was probably the only oddball excited to hear them play. Of course, it was a great (American) football game, but hey, how often are you gonna see the who play as years go on? I had a whole couch to myself at halftime because everyone else went to go stuff their face. Good times good times, but moments like these make me feel old.  | ||

I didn't watch the game, so I didn't see them play, but I'm glad they got such a high profile gig. You think The Who will fade, and you're happy they got such a high profile gig? You do realise that The Who is one of the most influential rock bands in history right? I mean, it's possible that they can fade eventually, but they've already been famous for like 45 years, so it's impossible that they'll fade "like so many others," because there are almost no other bands that have had a career as long as they have. Also, one of the reasons I don't see them fading out any time too soon is because they have/had some of the truly great musicians of the classic rock era in them: Pete Townsend and Keith Moon. Even if The Who fades, their members will always be a link back to them for new generations IMO, The Who are as likely to fade as Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones. It's possible but it will be a sad day. Sorry if that reply came out quite harsh, it was just a very strange comment! For some reason, the sound on ESPN was delayed during the half-time show, so it looked like they were lip-synching very badly. I eventually changed channels cause it was too bad :p EDIT: Maybe it's a US/rest of world thing? | ||

It'll be a sad day, though. I've seen them live a couple times and they always give a great show. I thought the halftime show was about as good as it could have been, but there was no way it was going to be really excellent with so little time. | ||

The real problem is the organizers deliberately chose a very old band yet again. Ever since "the incident" they lacked the guts to do anything slightly moder or remotely edgy. | ||
