| Looking kinda aged. Makes sense, British healthcare and all. Ringos' kid, Zak is a good drummer. Seems they should stop the songs to play some more commercials. Must hav been 200 in the first half. |

Quoted:
"Hope I Die Before I Get Old" Yeah, wright, matey! They only lost Keith Moon "the loon" and replaced him with Ringo's son. 
John Entwistle passed away some years ago. That was the final, true death of The Who. (They did manage to put out some decent stuff with Kenney Jones post-Moon, so while The Who was never the same without Keith, it wasn't fully dead until John passed.) |

| I am a big fan of The Who. I think they are in the top 5 greatest R&R bands of all time. Pete Townsend is a brilliant songwriter. Also in the top 5. He writes as if Daltry's voice was an instrument. However, they are way past there prime. The death of Moon and then Entwistle really knocked the wind out of them. They are not an arena act anymore. They should still play, if they want to. Smaller venues, more personal experiences is where they should be now. |
I love their music, but the halftime show was awful. It was like bad karaoke routine. Why try to relive the glory days if you suck. And being musicians, they had to realize how bad they sucked.  I was embarrassed for them.
Other than that, it was an amazing show.  to the stagehands/roadies.

Entwistle was the bass player who never changed his expression, or smashed equipment as I recall. |

I agree..............I am glad they didnt play "can you see the real me", cause nobody could play the bass like Entwistle on that song

I thought it fitting that they finished their act with "Don't Get Fooled Again"...Meet the new boss same as the old boss....A swipe at Obongo? I thought that as well, and I'm sure many of the millions in the viewing audience did too. These are anti-government times!

They just didn't sound the same, they were straining to get by this time. I like the Who and it was painful listening to some of it. It was painful listening to ALL of it , who are you kidding. Fuck we might as well get the Stones and Springsteen too Oh.... right , we had those worthless 60 year old fucks too 
Just think , you got to watch a 60? year old guy singing about a "teenage wasteland". Come on WTF Just think in another 20 years Alice Cooper will be old enough for the halftime show 
I swear they would have Bill Haley and Buddy Holly if they werent fucking dead. I dont even know if Bill Haley is dead but you get the jist Next years show will probably be the (insert 60 year old fuck band from the 60s) |

Pete Townsend + Kiddie Porn = Eternal Fail no matter how good they sound. Those allegations were proven to be bullshit by a few independent sources and he was acquitted by the British courts, so, fail on you. Is that because he's a celebrity or because the kiddie porn on his computer wasn't for his own thrills? Fail my ass... he's a pederass |
