There is also the fact that the TV live mix and fidelity is not always the best.
I wouldn't be surprised if todays audio replay was re-mixed. Maybe not, but that's what I'd do....

At any rate, I'll stick to my old recordings and try to get the image of Pete Townshend out of my mind!!

Completely agree. Told my wife that when it was announced. I've seen the Who 3-4 times, inside and outside. The last time was the opening show of their tour that started in Philly. Music was great, but Roger and Pete are deaf. The had a false start on a couple of songs and a couple times the two had to stand next to each other just so Roger could feel the beat.

Last night they tried to put on a 1980's show with geriatric bodies and windpipes of the 21st century. They sounded terrible, each missed a couple of cues and Daltry lost his rhythm more than once. Someone should tell them to retire. Take the Stones and Aerosmith with them. For that matter, Zak Starkey, as good as he is, needs to grow up and start dressing and acting the 44 year old that he is.

Of course, the guys who produce the half-time shows are idiots. The crowd would be just has happy with talented frisbee-catching dogs.

The surviving boys in The Who did look a little ripe. It's sad that they're as old as they are and sadder yet that we are all just as much older than we were when we first met them.

I had to explain to my 23 year old daughter that these guys were considered pretty radical back in the day, which was even a little before my time. I was only six years old when The Who released My Generation.

Thank god they didn't have any "wardrobe malfunctions"!

Apparently, you didn't see Townshend's belly sticking out of his shirt and over the belt. My wife noticed it.

As a young buck I thought last year's show with Bruce was way better. But I've never seen Bruce live, now or when he was younger.

To be honest, I just don't think a concert-style show is good for any halftime.

Too many logistics to do it right and once you do a half-*** show live to 30 million people, well, there just isn't any 2nd takes.

Got to agree with you there..
In fact, I sometimes wonder why they don't have.........
Marching Bands - what a unique idea!!
Aren't marching bands historically a part of the football tradition?
(or am I wierd?)

Saw Bruce last year.

Some of my friends who saw him as a youngster thought he's a lot more focused now. His voive and music was classic Bruce.
