I didn't even know who that "group" was, so I suppose I had no expectations of them being very good.

I wonder when the last time there was a SB halftime show where everyone was like "Wow...that was a good halftime show."

the two that stand out for me that were pretty solid were Tom Petty and U2. This years was perhaps the worst one I can ever remember, by far. Anytime a band has to bring out the guitarist of another band (Slash) just to be able to have someone that can actually play an instrument, and because they don't have enough of their own songs to take up 20 minutes of airtime, it is bad. Real bad.

The last good halftime show featured Carol Channing and the SMU Marching Band (SB IV).
Okay, I don't remember the half time show, but I remember who won! From the list ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...halftime_shows ), I'd have to go with the Stones. |

The Black Eyed Peas have made some good music, in my opinion. That's not the problem.
The problem is that these "people" who are responsible for the half-time shows have no clue how to pull them off. The audio always sucks and there are always thousands of goons dancing or milling about the stage for some undecipherable reason. This time they lit up. Woo hoo. These bands can pull off a large concert venue in fine shape. That isn't the issue. It's the SB management or something that turns the group (whoever it is) into a poorly-mixed, poorly produced caricature of itself. FAX |

IMHO, do away with the half time abortion all together and give the money you'd spend on it to a charity or something. I can't recall the last time I saw a good half-time show.

The problem last night lies with whoever "produced" that pile of crap, in my humble opinion. FAX |

Actually, The Who was worse than The Stones. I wanted to shoot my face listening to them last year
