The Who - Baba o'Riley/Who are You? - Super Bowl XLIV

[@dynjarren8355]

Zak Starkey is one lucky guy. He drums for The Who and his father is Ringo Starr! Plus he’s a good drummer talented in his own right. I like how he plays and sounds. Now this was a halftime show! 🎉😮

[@JimWelsh-f6l]

If you check this out. When they announced that the who will be doing the half time show. Jaden Rose of ESPN said that he never heard of them and they are to old. People don't know who this band is. And then he started naming a bunch of rap artists ha ha sorry I laughed they call them artists 😂😂 when it's not music. But I was watching him saying this. He said nobody is going to watch the half time show. He is one of the biggest racist I have ever seen on ESPN. Am not a liberal I don't say everyone is racist. But saying what he said and not one person he said to do the show was a white person. But I wish I could have seen his face when all those young people were singing with THE WHO and Pete Townshend.

[@Alun49]

We have to remember that The Who were there at the very start of the history of `rock music. Seeing a high tech performance in the twenty first century by this band who are still icons is amazing. I remember as a kid in the 1960's being told such music was a "passing fad" that would soon be over. Sixty years on and it is as strong as ever.

[@hubbsllc]

Very well said. Marshall amplifiers became what they became sonically specifically because Pete could not compete with Keith Moon with what he had and asked Jim Marshall to hook him up with gear that could. The famous "full stack" configuration came about because before that, the company produced a single 8x12" cab for Townsend's use but the roadies rebelled. :) Pete said that when you cranked that amp it sounded like a "symphony."

[@robthornton6288]

Couldn't agree more! Seen them 4 times now, the last time was in Berlin 20th June 2023, so a week and a bit ago, and they were brilliant! Our younger daughter lives in Berlin, so we combined a visit to see her, with the concert. Our daughter said afterwards that she knew every single word of the Quadrophenia excerpts, because when I used to drive her and her sister to school "Quadrophenia was the only thing you played in the car!" 😀- Brainwashing does work 😂😂👏👏

Zak is by far the best drummer they've had since we lost Keith. Nobody else has been able to nail it just right... Zak does. Dude is a crazy talented drummer!

[@guitar.forbeginners.withdave]

He's pretty good for sure but what do you think about Simon Phillips who was with them in 1989 when they did the Tommy tour?

[@mdteletom1288]

He resembled a young Keith Moon in this performance.

[@bobhope3716]

I disagree. I saw The Who on their 88/89 tour with Simon Phillips on drums. Much more exciting than Zack.

[@hubbsllc]

@@guitar.forbeginners.withdave I like all the post-Moon drummers in the Who but I was a Simon fan long before his time with the band so his presence was special to me. I just wish they hadn't started pushing bassists and drummers into the darkness like sidemen after John died.

[@hubbsllc]

​@@bobhope3716 He was definitely the *most capable* drummer they ever had but I can see where people might think Simon was just too much. I was a big Simon fan long before his time with the Who and knew of his playing on Pete solo albums (his performance on "Give Blood" from WHITE CITY was drumming goalz for me back in the day).

I have seen THE WHO 5 TIME'S going back to the 70s. I was born and raised in north Philly. Being a teenager and living in Philadelphia pa. Back in the 60s and 70s and having the great spectrum to see these rock bands. I saw a lot of the greatest rock bands. Aerosmith 2 times in the early 70s. Bob seger Black Sabbath with Ozzy. Bruce Springsteen 4 times but a couple of his shows were at different places but right next to the spectrum. ZZ TOP AND I HAD TICKETS TO SEE LED ZEPPELIN. At JFK stadium in south Philly. But Robert plants son died never got to see them but I never thought they were as good as a lot of people thought. But THE WHO IS THE GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME.

This was such a powerful show - there's just something about a real band with a great catalog of songs really playing them. The only thing that disappoints me about this and subsequent Who outings is having turned it into the Pete and Roger show with Zak and the bassist (I guess Piño?) left in darkness and very little camera time. That's not the Who spirit to me. They didn't treat Kenney Jones or Simon Phillips that way but after John died, everyone but Roger and Pete have been treated like nonentities.
