Thanks for the link. The vocals were excruciating in Pinball Wizard (I nearly clicked it off, my ears were hurting) but they did get better as they went on. Who Are You was especially good. I think overall their performance succeeded. Zak doesn't seem to look anywhere as busy behind the kit as Keith though, but I did love his cymbals!

As I mentioned in the SuperBowl thread, The fabulous songs and highest rock respect salvaged the performance.

I've always felt that putting a rock band in any halftime show was a mistake...a halftime show requires instant launch into audience engagement. Most classic rockers work best when allowed to bludgeon an audience for a couple of hours....hard to compress that into a 16 minute blast. Look at it this way: a halftime show requires that you be in mid-concert form right out of the gate....that means the audience too.

Exactly, Mervap.

Totally agree. Still, loved the Who at halftime. Cried. Saw them in 1976 with the Dead.

Did no one in the audience have a Ricola for Roger?
Ha ha ha...I was listening from the other room (was watching kids for goodness sakes!!) and Roger did seem REALLY strained. Tiff and I looked at each other like: now he needs to stop! ;)
