Dat Who
There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews of the Who's halftime show. Count me one of those who loved it.
Of course, the Who were one of my favorite music groups growing up (along with the Kinks). That said, the show last night was great, a perfect way to rip through a catalog of all-time great songs all in 15 minutes. You got the patented Pete Townsend windmill, Daltrey's "Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! during Won't Get Fooled Again, the lighting, and what i really liked - not having any of those ridiculous fans/dancers they allow on the field and next to the stage during the show.
Sure the group is ancient. The remaining two original members must be in their late sixties. And I could have done without seeing Townsend's gut repeatedly. They were off-key in parts but that's the beauty of live music. Besides, it looked like they didn't care - as rock legends are wont to do - and were having lots of fun. Bonus points: no Janet Jackson boob peek or Bruce Springsteen's crotch sliding into the stage camera.
All in all, perfect.

wrong again ee.
it was an okay halftime, but no where near bruce or u2 level.
the show was obviously pre-taped. i thought it was sad to watch them lipsynching. the scream was obviously doubled or tripled. the fans singing was probably pre-taped too.
but the physical set was actually very cool.
