What do you give the Who?
I give them a B. Pretty rockin for some 60-somethings. Pete was having gear problems (I can relate) but pulled off some good sounds. Roger's voice sounded remarkably good, I thought.
Interesting set list. They did the ones you'd expect but threw in a couple other chestnuts.

I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.

I enjoyed that! I would say a B as well. I have seen other olds dudes do much better but I enjoyed this and reminiscing of when I first saw them a long time ago. Sure beats some of the recent acts, but that is an old fogy's opinion. The light show was amazing.

I was noticing that backline. What amphs are those? I gave them an A too. I really like Pete's sounds, and he had rock and roll energy. If it was not perfect, I don't care. It's just rock and roll. The energy is more important to me really. They brought it for 60 somethings. I wondered if they could pull off the teen angst songs, and was thinking they should stick to Eminence Front and later, but I give it to them.

Yeah that is the first thing I thought when I saw the drummer, very much like Keith. He even had moves and licks like Keith. It may have been put on but it was still good.

Thought they were great all things considered. A-. Surprised by the strength of Roger's voice which hasn't held up so well. I do wonder if there was some "enhancement" for the YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaah on Won't Get Fooled Again. Interesting the cameras weren't on him as that is a definite Who showcase. Still, I smiled all the way through to see them up there. They deserve the love. They are as close to pure rock as it gets IMHO.
And thank God for YouTube. Super Bowl is not so big over here...

Just saw the other posts. Drummer is Zak Starkey, Ringo's son who has been playing with them for years. He is an exceptionally talented drummer who used to be with Oasis. Moon was his godfather and even gave hime lessons when he was a kid...

Hey, we're trying to talk about The Who here, Sun, not the freakin' Saints (who have it pretty well wrapped up after that interception & return for TD)!
I'd give 'em a B. I was pleasantly surprised by Daltry's voice, but Townshend's guitar work was kinda sloppy, I thought.

I was just going to say that. I had heard he was working with The Who, and thought it might be him.I really enjoyed his drumming.

Man I love The Who, but boy they are getting old. I could really tell in the voices. Roger made the wise choice of bringing it down which made it richer in a few places, but not as loud or powerful as it used to be. Overall I'd give them a B+. In a way, it made me not very excited about a Zep reunion though, with as much as they struggled.

A solid B
The whole show I was wondering why they gave Zak so much face time when he could easily be seen in most every angle of Roger and Pete, and that he was VERY un-Keith like in his style.
Fun to see them again, but about as much as the last time I saw them, in '80/LA Forum, which was a disappointment.
Now, '73 @ The Forum...? Oooh yeah!
Regular Fretter
I know! That's exactly what I was thinking. Had Moony's playing style down pretty good too
EDIT: hmmm... just read the post above - lol! His drumming technique was very Moon-ish IMO, but the showmanship and wild-abandon delivery of said drumming was certainly un-moonish... at least he managed to stay on his throne throughout the whole set

They definitely did a good job. It's very difficult to pull off a pure rock style like that in a stadium. It was a little bit sad to me though that in a room full of college students and 2 parents, I was one of few that recognized "the who" and the only one that recognized Pino Palladino. With just about every song that they played people would go, "oh THEYYY did that song?!?". I guess thats what happens as we get farther removed from the great music of the past.
As far as the age factor, they've held up much better than the stones who played for the half time show in the last few years.
