"The Who" perform at halftime?

Although I am a huge 'classic rock fan' I never have been much of a 'Who fan' music wise.

I realize that the baby boomers are still the largest generation to appease along with the "Timberlake/Jackson" sexual assault show debacle a few yrs back and why the NFL just decided to stay with the "safe classic rock standards" for now.

But I am surprised that "The Who" were chosen because of the Pete "Child Porn" Townsend controversy. Considering how Gooddell and the NFL supposedly want a 'squeeky clean' image (except of course 'their own players'

)

Daltry's voice is gone and Pete will play to (if not with) the children.

Can't wait

Your thoughts?

Yep. I was fortunate enough to go to that highly publicized one-time Who concert at the Cotton Bowl back in the late eighties. Started out with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, then Stevie Ray Vaughan, and then The Who.

I'd always liked the Who a lot but I wasn't expecting them to sound lile they were in their prime. I've seen a lot of great bands in concert but to this day that might be the best show I've ever seen.

It's funny. Back then I was expecting a bunch of old men on stage giving it a valiant effort but they blew me away. Hard to believe that was over twenty years ago. Now I never underestimate the older bands. I've seen Van Morrison twice and he puts on as good a show as anyone. I've recently seen The Allman Brothers and they rock like nobody's business, too.

I noticed that on the VH1 tribute to the Who. Daltry definitely could not belt it out like he used to. It was very noticible.

I guess this ought to be the official halftime thread. What say you?

kstater · 02-07-2010, 07:03 PM

A whopping 30 seconds/ song. Thrilling stuff.

Damn.... I think Keith Moon looks more alive than any of them.

If you look real close, behind the amps on the left you can see where they all parked their Rascal Scooters.

Townshend's gonna need some Ben-Gay after that windmill.

This is really just a stunt to promote CSI.

Awful, out of tune, out of sync, half drunk, can't sing, pathetic. Aside from that it as fine.

light show is cool ... better than having a bunch of kids running around the field or something.

i was worried about the vocals at first but he's doing alright now.

heh...not quite..that show is 10 years old.

Its more about appealing to the grey hair Who fans who most likely make up the bulk of the stadium crowd.

If they really wanted to do that right they'd have Caruso come onstage to find out why these guys are dead.
