"Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't get fooled Again" are the betting favorites at 9/4 and "My Generation" goes off at 11/4 with "Substitute" a surprising fave at 5-1.
I'm thinking I'll put $20 down on "Who are you ?" at 12-1 and maybe parlay it with the "over" on the National Anthem (1 minute 38.5 seconds).

My fave is: Which song will "The Who" open with for the Half Time show ?"Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't get fooled Again" are the betting favorites at 9/4 and "My Generation" goes off at 11/4 with "Substitute" a surprising fave at 5-1.

"We're kinda doing a mashup of stuff. A bit of 'Baba O'Riley,' a bit of 'Pinball Wizard,' a bit of the close of 'Tommy,' a bit of 'Who Are You,' and a bit of 'Won't Get Fooled Again.'?

Happy Jack was 150-1 , apparently the "first song" bets have come off the board since Pete Townsend told Billboard that:"We're kinda doing a mashup of stuff.

That would be like Bob Dylan opening with Like A Rolling Stone. I doubt they shoot their load right out of the gate.

And you fucks stop hating on The Who. They're the only reason I'm watching the Super Bowl this year.

It wouldn't be the same without Keith, but a montage like "A Quick One While He's Away" could go the entire set without having to switch gears. Three or four songs in one, 10ish minutes... We have a winner.And you fucks stop hating on The Who. They're the only reason I'm watching the Super Bowl this year.

Whoever bet on Boris The Spider deserves to lose their money. I liked Entwistle and all, but, seriously, that song has no spot in the Super Bowl.

I see no Who hating in this thread.

Just glad they played that teenage wasteland thing in its entirety. Just like the concert for nyc. But not quite as big...

Didn't the Who kinda suck? I can't be the only one to think this?
shep1582
I liked the show. Their voices are shot, but I thought the music was pretty well synced up and on time.
I think I'm in the minority though. Benne thought they sucked. He was embarrassed. (see the SB thread for his comments)

Well never mind, Rolling Stone has declared the Whos performance as amazing, and baby boomers are defending the act by asking how well you'd rock if you were a tired and irrelevent 60 years old. Sorry, then, I must have misremembered them singing and playing like drunk buffaloes careening off a cliff, my bad.

I was never a big fan, anyway, so it wasn't like my heroes were sucking.
I thought they were pretty good for a bunch of old farts.

I guess I wasn't expecting much, so when they were decent, musically, if not vocally, I guess I was pleasantly surprised.I was never a big fan, anyway, so it wasn't like my heroes were sucking.

I guess it just struck me as arrogant on their part to think they could coast as though their entire audience were older guys reliving their youth by going to their show. Most viewers came away from that performance with a much more negative opinion of the band than they did before, if they even had one at all to begin with. Just a waste of everyones time.
February 08, 2010 at 03:32AM View BBCode
Yeah, it was just a wasted halftime show, if they'd at least made an effort to play competently and make some new fans it would be fine, but they just seemed tired and disinterested. I'm no fan, really, not even a little, but I had wished that they could at least bother to play for the majority of the audience watching the Super Bowl that didn't know them at all and was hearing them for the first time.I guess it just struck me as arrogant on their part to think they could coast as though their entire audience were older guys reliving their youth by going to their show.

Phish didn't make their fame on the internet. And the Who were unwatchable.
sycophantman
It's not my cup of tea, but they should go with a major country music star for the next one.
February 08, 2010 at 03:48AM View BBCode
Eh, I don't think Phish would be a legitimate choice for a halftime show. Top priority would be a band that is well known, and the Phish don't really have a single legitimate hit to their credit. Plus, my goodness, they're a jam band, that is pretty much propaganda music for filthy hippies right there.It's not my cup of tea, but they should go with a major country music star for the next one.

they were ahead of the curve when it came to: a website, file sharing amongst their fans, message boards to talk about the previous night's shows. they have never had a major label deal.
they started in colleges in the NE, but there fame came via the internet.
and the Who were just fine. Especially for a bunch of fogies.
as usual, if you don't like it, it sucks. which is just a juvenile attitude to have.
