The Who at the Super Bowl

Well it had more lows than highs, but it’s also not surprising that they didn’t even come close to the performance in that clip posted above of Wont Get Fooled Again. That was from The 9/11 Concert for NYC and it was widely noted that they stole that show. It even surprised many long time Who fans how good they were. But that was over 8 yrs ago, it looks better rehearsed, Daltry was in much better voice, and, most importantly, John Entwistle was still alive and well and playing phenomenal bass. You just can’t lose the immense talent of a Keith Moon AND John Entwistle in a 4 person band that plays and sounds like The Who and have it still be great (or even very good), and the SB show confirmed this. Anyways, that’s my take.

The stage design and lighting was very cool though, recalling the early “Mod” logos, and even the lasers that was once a big part of their shows.

This isn't 30, 20 or even 10 years. There are only 2 original WHO members left.

The guy with the hat is Pete. He's an amazing artist and has a great voice.

I wish I (who's younger then they are) could get up and do that at their age.

I'm not the #1 who fan, but I know all their songs and lyrics because of my husband.

He was thrilled and in general, I think they did a great job. If you listned, you could here the crowd singing along. That's sign of a good time.
