If you saw ( heard ) how terrible they sounded at the Super Bowl tonight, you would probably agree. The show was high energy, but Pete and Roger couldn't carry a tune in a bucket anymore.

Papa,
Who dat??? :sqwink: I'll buy yer a drink fer that sentiment. The event was high energy and the Who made yer feel like you were at a funeral! They really need to stay at home and collect their royalties.
Even my Karaoke singers can do better than dat!

Who dat! LOL :sqlaugh:
 
That time came 35 years ago Papa - what's taken you so long to catch up!? :sqlaugh:


I disagree. I saw them about 5 years ago and they were still pretty good. But tonight was brutal.
 
That half time was the absolute worst.WHO ever booked that deal needs their butt kicked.Period .All the lights and laser effects is not going to do a thing for those boys.
Know when to say when.
 
They need to audition the acts before announcing them just so they don't stink up the stage like the Who did.
 
I wore earmuff and then drooled over the light show. Could only imagine what all that cost.

LOL..I was thinking about that as well.

My mom and dad were like "Adam, no ideas" :sqeek:

If I had to guess, and this is based on assuming the stadium owned some of those lights along the balconies.

I put a ballpark figure at roughly $500,000. This does not include any type of payroll or any of the other mumbo jumbo.

I honestly was so focused on the light show, I didnt even pay much attention to the songs. :sqwink:

has to be way over $500k. Each one of those screens around the stage looked similar to the ones DMB uses on tour. And if I remember correctly DMBs setup is well over 1 million.

That led lighting around the stage was alone close to $500k if not more.
 
I just watched it on Youtube the voices seemed laboured at best but musically it wasn't bad they seemed pretty on.

After watching the press conference I'm thinking they weren't hearing the monitors at the halftime show properly. They were no hell in the press conference either but the voices were much better

YouTube- Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who at Super Bowl 44 Press Conference
 
I just watched the YouTube video and Roger loos like he was drunk... Stumbing drunk...

I've seen the Who perform a half dozen times over the past 30 years. Sadly, it appears they have goen far downhill since John Entwistle died in Vegas. :sqfrown:
 
When Prince played the Super Bowl He ROCKED.

The Who? I don't know what the hell that was..Besides an embarrassment to them??:sqlaugh:

Strangely enough, I saw them very shortly after that, and it was the BEST show by The Who I have ever seen... ( saw them 3x )
 
I just wished I had all those lights because the singing was horrible .
 
Papa...

I saw the Who shortly after Entwistle died as well. In fact, I was on my way home from the MobileBeat Convention in Chicago when I overheard the news on a radio at the gas station in Chicago. I strongly exclaimed, "I can't believe he died, I have $250/seat tickets to see him in just a couple months!" The teenage clerk looked at me and asked, "who's John Entwistle?"

I've been DJ'ing for 20 years. I hope I am still able to stand and command big money to perform another 30 years from now. However, I would never get up and give a drunken 1/2 *ssed performance, that's for sure. I am sadly disappointed with Mr. Daltrey...
