Townshend Talks About The Super Bowl

Posted on Monday February 8, 2010 at 09:01 AM

More than 100 million viewers saw The Who tear through a 12-minute set during the Super Bowl halftime show at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens yesterday, but Pete Townshend says it was clear the band wasn’t the main event.

“You know, you could kind of tell from the stage the crowd is really here for the game,” Townshend said.

“It was nice for that reason. It was nice to feel a part of something and not having it all to be about us,” adding “We’re too far gone to care I think.”

Turns out yesterday’s Super Bowl was the first time Townshend or Who frontman Roger Daltrey had ever seen American football. For Townshend, it was all about the spectacle.

“It’s extraordinary,” said Townshend. “You forget how big sport is and how every week it happens ... I’m not trying to be humble but we felt like a very small piece of a huge team.”

The guitarist also addressed the protests raised by some local children’s rights groups questioning his Super Bowl appearance because of his 2003 child pornography arrest.

Townshend, who was arrested for downloading one picture, always claimed he was researching the subject and that he himself was an abused child. Although e-mails between him and a children’s advocacy group confirmed his claims, he was forced to register as a sex offender.

Townshend called the protests “a bit of a cheap shot.”

“I think if people don't believe, they fall on that side of the line, there's little I can do, but most people have been very kind, very understanding, and I know I did nothing wrong,” Townshend said.

You know....I am a Who fan. I would'nt have seen them 6 times if I wasn't. But let's be real here. For a performance that was supposed to have been very closely choreographed,orchestrated and manipulted to make the band come out sounding the best. They failed miserably. I have talked to friends who watched the game,to co-workers who watched the game and halftime. I listened to local classic rock radio stations who never criticize anything. The overwhelming consensus is that not only were they not very good. They were embarassingly bad. As always,great debate as to whether the performance was absolutely live or on tape. But either way,anyone who looks or listens to this honestly has to admit Daltrey's vocals were horrid. Not only was the sound mix bad.But their was at least 2-3 occasions were Pete and Rog looked at each other and were completely off sync with vocals and playing. Just stating the facts here folks.

I stand by my original post, with a shaky beginning They seemed to regroup and continue to blow the doors off. IMO
If it was a recording it was a good mime, if it was live it was Rock on. As I recall from the one view I had.IMO
I do respect your opinion, having never seen them vs having seen them, I have to and will go back and review the performance again. This time with the Critical ear and eye. I guess I was up for the game and The WHO ! I miss Keith

Back then, the pound was worth about $2.50, so we're talking $7,500 in early 70s dollars. You could buy two good cars for that, or the better part of a house. Bet it was worth every penny.

If anything, RD sounded better than he often does on tour. There was one instance during WGFA where he pulled the mic away from his mouth while he was still singing but that is no evidence of lip sync. Anyone who heard the mini-opera from the recent Endless Wire tour shouldn't be surprised they can still pull off a live medley.
Whether you like Daltrey's latter-day vocals or not, he's had a rep for 45 years as an impassioned, committed singer. It's unlikely he'd blow that rep by miming at a football game.
