I recall when the Fox TV show In Living Color timed their Sunday night show to coincide with the Super Bowl halftime show. Everyone I know switched to watch it and then back to catch the second half.
I think the last good Super Bowl halftime show was The Who.
Although, the Rolling Stones, U2 and Springsteen were not bad either.
I know lot of people here do not like Springsteen or Bono.
I do not care. They are ENTERTAINERS.
I get that...I would classify The Rolling Stones and The Who as entertainers, because I simply don’t recall them making public political statements (they may have, and I just missed it, and that doesn’t count The Rolling Stones telling Trump not to use their music, I see that as their right)
U2 and Springsteen, however, are in a different class for me.
That said, I never even saw the ones you mentioned in their halftime appearances. I think around 1990 or thereabouts may have been the last one I actually watched. After that, I would go out to where someone was grilling and shoot the breeze until it was over, so I never even saw them.
IMO Tom Petty had the best halftime show, and I’m a diehard Who fan.
Don’t forget Prince and Tom Petty as well - very good
