WHO are you

AWESOME!!!!!


First half was kinda boring. Heating up now after the onside kick.


Worst commercials ever.

Differing view point.

Roger Daltrey and Peter Townsend ......
should retire.

Sometimes its not about the 1 game rather the years of service. When I'm in my mid 60's I'd consider it a win to remember the words let alone knowing that you will be judged by those who will compare you in your prime.

I saw them in their prime and this wasn't close, although Daltrey seemed to warm up a bit. Not good enough for the super bowl. Love to see them at the Canyon Club though.

I'm tired of seeing the heroes I grew up with look old in the Super Bowl half-time. I remember being shocked a few years ago seeing Tom Petty. He looked like my granddad. The Who sounded great, but looked old. The old film clips pre-viewing their performance just made it worse in contrast.

If Townsends dentures fell out would it be considered a wardrobe malfunction?

I wonder if magically it were the Beatles who performed,with Ringo at 70 yrs old and the others right there with him, if you'd be so critical of their now aged voices? I think it is so much more than that. Maybe it's because I'm turning 63, and these guys were such a big part of my musical history but I loved seeing and listening to them once again. And, my 21 yr old son called from SoCal and said,"weren't they awesome?" JMO.

I thought they were a little off key at times, but Not Bad. I would have loved to see them play live in the 70's, but I don't think my mom would have been cool with an elementary age kid at a gig with The Who!

I loved it.

I knew after the "who" performed they'd be raked over the coals just like every other band/group that plays at superbowl. I thought they were pretty good but was kind of left hanging waiting for a few more of their golden oldies. I guess that means they were good if I wanted more! Great game I thought. If you want to complain about something, how bout those commercials?

I thought the keyboard guy looked like Cal Ripken!

They were awesome in the 70's and I enjoyed it as it brought back memories.
The younger generation at my house tonight loved it!

Except for VW and etrade, the commercials were blah.


The commercial with Tebo and mom was tastefully done, I had no complaints.

Great game, the Saints without a doubt deserved the championship.

I thought the Careerbuilder ad was pretty funny.
Too many people in the room to hear it...but the sight of those people in the office in their underwear......wow!

I love the "Who" but Janet Jackson's **** is more interesting

Is everyone in the SB half time shows over 70 yo?

.

Yup. Card carrying geezers...



...one and all!

It's hard to listen to groups or singers from the 70's who can't hit the notes any more. It happens to every one. Thank goodness for back up singers.

95% of the commercials were terrible. It seems they all try too hard to come up with something special and it winds up with something stupid or head scratching. It seems every year there are fewer and fewer memorable ones.

Those guys left their voices in the 70's. An A for effort, an A for the guys and gals that made it sound like the instruments were live, and a "what were you thinking" to the Super Bowl planners.

I couldn't help but notice that the camera cut away on the big scream part from Daltrey ("Won't Get Fooled Again"). Based on how he sounded up to that point, I cannot imagine he did that part live. My son sent me an e-mail joking, "Forget the game, what did Vegas have as the over/under on how many years ago that part was recorded?"

I'd rather see the finals of the Punt, Pass and Kick contest at halftime and keep the game on schedule.
Prince was the best.

I am a big Rock and Roll fan and a WHO fan as well BUT their time has passed---also I am tired of non aAmerican groups at this great American Festival-- Why not a Carrie Underwood halftime show?-- why not a LADY GAGA? Why Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ?

Not only do we now outsource out work forces but now our Super Bowl Halftime show

I didn't watch the halftime show due to a phone call. I saw The Who in the 70's and many years later. Daltry lost his voice. The worst case of losing a voice was Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues. I saw them in a reunion tour. His voice was awful even at Red Rocks which is an incredible natural amphitheatre.

Totally agree.

Wardrobe malfunction when Pete Townsend's bottom button on his shirt couldn't keep his beer belly covered. Something seems out of place when 60 somethings are singing teenage wasteland or teenage anything for that matter. I felt the whole show was lip-synched. Finally, ever since Pete was busted for downloading childporn, I just do not want to see him perform anymore.

Carrie Underwoood's national anthem blew the whole halftime show away.

From Yahoo ...

Three of the five songs they played are heard every week as the themes for CBS’ trio of hit “CSI” crime dramas. Hmm, was all this just an elaborate “CSI” plug?

Can't believe the drummer was Ringo Starr's son.

The stage was great. I should have used the "mute" button.

CD, I have to respectfully disagree. I thought Carrie, who I normally adore, was AWFUL. Frequently off key and often screaming the words. The Queen was much better, until she did whatever it was she was doing at the end. What was that anyway?

I didn't know the drummer was Ringo Starr's son! I though he looked the the dude from "Spinal Tap".

It's worse than that. They are from the 60's (formed in "64") but are near 70yr. and should have stayed home playing Shuffleboard.

I was just worried that Roger or Pete were going to blow a gasket on some of those notes.

They did have EMS personnel at the ready - so I felt a bit better about that.

Yeah, Carrie looked great as always, but she was shrieking. She needs to stay in her comfort zone of country music and keep her range within her reach.

I thought the WHO did OK if you throw out the scream (which I told my kids ahead of time would be recorded) and all of pin ball wizard.

Seriously, how many years of "old duffer" are we going to have to suffer through for one simple 'malfunction of a bra strap'. Springstein, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones, Who... Next is Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin and Peter, Paul and Mary?

Mary passed away recently.

If you want an old guy that can sing, how about George Jones? At least he can sing on key. And it would be perfect for the fans in Indianapolis who want to cry in their beer.

I'm hoping for a Monkees halftime show. And yes they were before my time but MTV showed reruns back in the mid to late 80's when I was a young lad and I watched them then.

The Who were OK for their 12 minutes. Some commercials were pretty lame. Too much CBS self-promoting. Really good game that didn't drag on, like most Super Bowls. Fourth quarter flew by. Game was over before 10 pm.

I thought the Doritos commercials were pretty funny overall. My favorite was the one with the little boy and he laid down the law to the guy who was trying to take him mom out on a date.

Get yo hands of my momma, and get yo hands off my doritos!
