The music has weathered the decades well. Too bad, about the voices!

Great show! I wish they would have done Baba Oreilly, or Behind Blue Eyes, but no complaints.

The Who has been one of my top 3 bands for almost 40 years.
I hate to say it, but I thought that they sucked. I've seen them live 5 times, That was the worst that I've ever heard them.

These guys sounded like some half-good garage band, retire w dignity already. I've listened to their music since the early 70's, felt a little sad watching them last night.

Heck, I was watching the game right up til half time and was thinking (the way the colts were playing) it was gonna be a done deal!
Don't know what went wrong with me, other then a long hard day...but woke up to find out the sad news....woke up and was flipping through all the cannels trying to find out what I so desperatly missed!!! (Thinking I need to take more time off for such occasions!!!) Kicking my rear end to this minute.

I thought they sounded like they were out of breath a couple of times, wondered if I turned in on a Superbowl COPD commercial.

I know that I am old. I did not need what's left of The Who to remind me of that fact.

When I heard The Who was the show, I threw a glance at my son and told him that I would just rather remember them the way they were...sometimes ya just gotta retire from the limelite, keep Rockin', but you know, keep your dignity too.

For next year's Super Bowl half-time show, I vote that we have a performance of the drill teams, and bands, from the five branches of our Military.
