Not a football fan but I did notice who played at halftime during the Lions/Packers game. Some band called “The Sickest kids”. I also noticed that it appeared to be a United way ad.

I’ll be too nervous to care if the Colts are in a close one.

Why nothing but retro acts for the SB? Stones, Springsteen, and now this. The WHO was a stale, way past it’s prime stage act in 1983. Daultry standing there swinging a mic by the cord for an hour or so, before mumbling “that’s all we got” and leaving the stage. It’s hard to image the last 26 years have brought new energy to the act.

If its anything near as good as their performance in the Concert for NYC in 2001, this should be exciting.

It'll be Townsend and Daltry and two other guys. It won't be The Who.

I guess you haven’t seen them live over the past 20 years then. I’ve seen them many times during the recent past and they are still very good live. Did you seem them at the Concert for NYC in 2001? They brought the house down.

The most explosive live act ever to appear on stage, propelled by the most staggeringly brilliant rhythm section in all popular music
Uh, nope--Keith Moon has been dead for 30 years. Nice try, tho. Two original members (albeit both vocalists and the lead guitarist) does not a "band" make.
This reminds me of the old announcemnt: The Rolling Stones LIVE--plus Keith Richards!

The way things are with them it would be more accurate to call them “The Who’s Left.”
To: Wordkraft
I guess you haven’t seen them live over the past 10 years. They are still an excellent live band, with Zak Starkey on drums and Pino Palladino on bass - two excellent musicians.

It ain't been The Who for over 30 years since Keith Moon died.
To: Snickering Hound
Keith Moon was a physical disaster the last few years with The Who. At his peak, he was untouchable. But he went downhill quickly and hurt the band’s live performances toward the end.

I was listening to John Boy and Billy (Morning radio show out of Cahrlotte NC) and Pat McCrory Mayor of Charlotte met Roger Daltry of The Who backstage. Said he was a real nice guy...Roger mentioned how the US was trying to nationalize health care. He told Pat McCrory flat out....do not do it like we did in England. He said the health care is AWFUL.

Ever since Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Superbowl halftime, they've been playing it safe and avoiding any controversy. Nothing but "classic" old time acts since then.
