Superbowl audience endures some heavy off key singing by the WHO.

This has nothing to do with movies but you know you wished it did or not. Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend, the two surviving members of the original quartet, appeared on a circular stage in the center of Sun Life Stadium, accompanied by their backing band and sounded like shit!!

They played a nearly 12-minute set that included all or parts of five tunes: “Pinball Wizard,” “Baba O’Riley,” “Who Are You?,” “See Me, Feel Me” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again. While watching this performance I came to terms that what once was a great band, well is pretty much over.

The annual Super Bowl half time concert has become one of rock’s highest profile gigs, with U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Prince, the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney each taking the stage in recent years. The medley format is not unusual for artists with such a deep catalog — Springsteen and Prince took a similar approach. The lighting show was off the hook but Roger was so off key it was horrible. It looked like play time at the elderly home and Peter and Roger where on heavy meds. Rock on!!
