Last night's performance by The Who could have been improved by a factor of 10 if Townsend's guitar hadn't been so far down in the mix. It may have sounded better in the stadium, but the TV mix was horrible.
Re: Daltrey and Townsend hitting/holding the notes: both should be professional enough not to go out there unless they can still do it... or get pretty close. They are gonna have to live with that major suckfest of vocals for the rest of their lives. It was shameful. They should have used a voice coach and done all sorts of throat therapy for a month beforehand... anything that would make sure that it didn't happen the way it did.
But if Pete had been higher in the mix, it would've covered some of it up.
Stick ZZTop out there and you've got a party. Is there a list somewhere of bands that have done the halftime show? Has Bob Seeger done it? George Thorogood? They'd both rock it.
Has anyone here ever seen Deborah Coleman or Michael Burks live? I have and they each have what it takes to put on a killer halftime performance. Just Google a few of their vids until you've seen each of them doing a few uptempo Chicago Blues songs. Either artist would absolutely bring the house down and leave people screaming for more.
