The Who: "Medley" (Live at the Super Bowl) (Video)
After all the controversy, The Who finally made it to the Super Bowl last night (Feb. 7). And boy did it suck. In the legion of Super Bowl half-time performances, this one is either going to be swept swiftly under the carpet or will be held up as a new low point for ageing rockers not knowing when to retire.
Roger Daltry gurned like Gary Busey throughout this strained performance, while Pete Townsend was barely able to hoist his arm up in the air for his famous “windmill” guitar strokes. There were lasers and mod symbols (and mod cymbals), but none of this was enough to make up for the awfulness of a band who should have called it a day years ago.

This seemed just as cheesy and bad as any other Super Bowl halftime show I've seen (Prince excluded). It's lameness doesn't stand out all that much to me.
This is so bland. I just wonder at what point it becomes acceptable for a reunited Wu-Tang to do the halftime show. Because that's the only older group I can think of that would get me excited for this.
Or the Beatles (all of them).
Nick, nice homonym in that write-up.
"just as cheesy and bad?" I thought Rodger and Pete were great, They have a classic music library. The Super Bowl halftime was wonderful. You wern't born any time in the last fourty years, were YA! Try doing what they have done (The Who) and recap it when you are 65 years old. They are the best! How about if you get your generation in motion?

sorry, i thought this was an excellent halftime show. two of the most influential rockers in rock history still have talent (Townshend and Daltry) and played a great show.
