“I thought it went OK. I understand. It’s a TV show. Cameras were everywhere. I was so blinded that I couldn’t see… And I really wished the crowd would have gotten into singing the songs with us more. That’s how it is in Europe for our soccer matches. I wanted more banter.”
-The Who‘s Roger Daltry offering his opinion of his band’s performance at yesterday’s Super Bowl.

The Who May Rock the Super Bowl
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Rumors, Rock,

The rock band behind “Who Are You”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Riley” (a.k.a. the three different CSI theme songs) is now rumored to be Super Bowl XLIV’s halftime act.
Although the report has not yet been confirmed by the NFL, it would be just like that network to milk a series - or band - to death.
The championship game will be played February 7, 2010 in Miami.

We may still be six months away from Super Bowl XLIV, but musical acts are getting us pumped up for football now.
In just four weeks, the gridiron action will officially begin with a battle between the Tennessee Titans and last year’s champ, the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the activity won’t just be limited to the playing surface at Heinz Field. The regular season’s first game will be preceded by a concert at Pittsburgh’s Point State Park.
Those tailgating in the area can enjoy performances from both country singer Tim McGraw and the Black Eyed Peas. The free warm-up acts will both be open to the public.
The NFL’s 90th season begins on Thursday, Sept. 10 @ 8:30 pm EDT.
