OK..here goes..

For one.I HATE Buffet's music...it's cheezy, sickening, vomit worthy trife that does not deserve a presence in the same breath as The Who, Stones, U2, Bruce, etc. These are bands that have created Rock n Roll. Buffet is a briliiant marketer who has taken about three songs and sh*tty restaurants and made millions. Good for him. But please do not put him on a Super Bowl ever!

Next year ideas...AC/DC, Metallica, Van Halen...???

I think all three of those bands rock too hard for the Super Bowl pansies. I like The Who also, but it's torture watching these ancient bands nearly have heart attacks every year because CBS/FOX are scared of a titty popping out.

it was a booby that showed up at least 20 years too late. I think Danzig said she saw old man belly and was offended.

I thought the Who were about to die. They are past it. Pete Townsend did pretty good for a deaf guy but it was terrible.

Wow, Van Halen ..with or without David Lee Roth?

I've never been to cheeseburger in paradise but I've heard it is nothing special and it cost like $50 to eat there.

Zenyatta and Racheal race around the field at half time.

no, i said old man boobs would be offending. sighty saw belly! lol
i didn't watch it, only heard it. didn't sound too good to me.

i think they need to move away from bands that are old enough to draw social security. how about nickelback next year?
honestly, i don't care for the shows since it's always a cut up montage of a lot of songs. just not my thing.

Easily the worst Super Bowl halftime show I've ever seen. I never was that much of a fan of these guys when they were younger, but my God they were horrible.

[satan's twin]

A Superbowl 2010 halftime show featuring, among others, songs from the rock opera "Tommy", a Who album first performed for the coronation of George III, seemed a bit dated. Next year, the NFL might want to be less concerned with the copyright of the play list and more concerned with carbon dating of it.

Rock music will beat out hip hop/ janet jackson / pop music any day of the week. I thought the Who was great.. except they looked ancient and sounded ancient.. (maybe the old bands should think about lip sinking).. Still their songs are great ones and the light show was the best of any halftime show i've ever seen.. I cant stand when these bands just fill the field with people or kids or whatever.. light show was great!! I'm sure Uncle Tom loved it!!

[brockguy]

yeah I didnt think the Who were that great compared to previous years shows. They just looked really really old - If it wasnt for their great songs, it would have been a disaster..

On an unrelated note, this was my favourite moment from last night

While watching at one point Daltry's lips seemed to be a little out of sync with the audio. Was there a audio delay or were they lip-syncing?

It is not that unusual for the audio to be slightly out of snych with the video on a live performance.

I don't think there is any chance they were lip-synching. I don't think a network would allow lip-synching at an event like the Superbowl. Lip-synching is rarely done any more. It is considered a big no-no.

The last person that was caught lip-synching was Ashlee Simpson on Saturday Night Live and she got blasted for it. I think she claimed she had a cold or laryngitis or something like that. That was her excuse. She got crucified in the media. Lip-snyching is not considered acceptable nowadays and it is totally frowned upon.

There is no way The Who was lip-synching. I would lay 20-1 odds against it.

By the way, if you watch the performance again on youtube it is perfect. The audio is perfectly in synch with the video.

I actually just found a review of The Who's half-time show in the Chicago Tribune. It specifically says they "weren't lip-synching".

they were lip synching. it was glaringly obvious because he hesitated on one word, which came through on audio, but you could most certainly see he didn't say it on the screen. it was at the end of one of the songsl ines it wasn't a case of being 'off'. he was on til that one word.
as to why they do it, it's so there are no glitches in the performance. we've all seen times where bands flub a song. the anthem is pre-recorded, and so is half time.

Little Who trivia here..The song..Baba O'Riley, was named by Pete for two different people. One was the leader of a religion he was involved with at the time named Baba something or other. The O'Riley was for Terry O'Riley, who composed the synthesizer portion of the song.

i liked the Who, they did a good job. i just not a fan of the extended halftime crap. as far that goes, i'm not a fan of the 4 hr. pre-game crap. just show me the freaking game! and do a good job. all the freaking commercials. the game has no rhythm to it.
