Daddy Dee Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 The music was fabulous. Masterfully planned for the timeframe. The visuals were awesome with the stage images, lasers and spots. Head and shoulders above the Stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Great setlist. I thought Townsend and Daultry were out of sync quite a bit but hey, they ain't kids anymore! No way Daultry can still hit those notes. Not bad for a SB halftime show (mostly nostalgic). Was this the first British band to do it?

Me Loves Khorns Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 They did a great job. And no breasts popped out! Always a good thing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Was it the best? Debatable, but far better than many of the past shows. I do agree I enjoyed this much better than the Stones, plus don't even get me started on that diaster during Superbowl 38! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatchef Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 You know, they only had 12 min. to play.Roger takes 15 just to get warmed up. And no he can't hit the highs anymore but they compensate for that.I will still see them even if they play from a wheelchair. THEY STILL ROCK!

JerolW Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Time for them to retire. I'm suprised CBS didn't display "WATCH CSI" on the stage graphics. jerol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Steve. Come on, tell! Lets just say that I've never seen so many talentless hacks parading around a stage like that, attempting "perform" anything that even resembled music (and to think these are supposed to be major recording stars!). No wonder pop music has gone down the toilet. That thing with Justin TimberFake and Janet Jackass at the end with the boobs was only the final straw (not like I've seen that part of women's anatomy, but during a superbowl game when there is some 130+ million watching?). I am so glad that the NFL told MTV after that, they will never be involved with another half-time show ever again. Look at the quality of the half-time shows since! There has been some really good ones, in the past few years. The one tonight with the The Who was definitly one of the better ones. I was also impressed with the Stones, Prince, and Paul McCartney as well, to name a few good ones since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I started watching it, and as soon as they went into a mantage of their songs I turned if off, what a joke. A mantage, are they playing a dive in Laughlin Nevada? Pitiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Steve, Oh yeh. Thanks for reminding me. That was a real disaster. One thing about the Prince show, and I have never been a Prince fan, That guy was a real showman. He played in the rain and I was more impressed than anytime I'd ever seen him play. McCartney was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think it was fun, but lacked in the music department and without the man on bass???? Drummer did OK, and it did have me pull out some old stuff and crank it up a bit. Entwistle also experimented throughout his career with "bi-amping," where the high and low ends of the bass sound are sent through separate signal paths, allowing for more control over the output. At one point his rig became so loaded with speaker cabinets and processing gear that it was dubbed "Little Manhattan," in reference to the towering, skyscraper-like stacks, racks and blinking lights. His "full treble, full volume" approach to bass sound was originally supposed to be captured in the bass solo to "My Generation". According to Entwistle, his original intention was to feature the distinctive Danelectro Longhorn bass, which had a very twangy sound, in the solo, but the strings kept breaking. Eventually, he recorded a simpler solo using a pick with a Fender Jazz Bass strung with LaBella tapewound strings. This solo bass break is important as it is one of the earliest bass solos (if not the first) captured on a rock record. A live recording of The Who exists from this period (c. 1965), with Entwistle playing a Danelectro on "My Generation", giving an idea of what that solo would have sounded like.ing some sound for sure.
