The Who? Superbowl

There comes a time when you should just hang it up. That time has come for the Who. I love their music when they were in their prime and I would prefer to remember it as it was. This just takes a lot of my enjoyment out of the music. Sorry guys but who ever booked you should be fired. Peter principle should not apply here.

i completely agree.... i also think mettalica is at that point too .... they're just wasting tallent at this point
 
The Who was a fitting choice for broadcaster CBS. CSI is a major franchise for CBS and Who songs are the signature of the series. The broadcaster always heavily promotes their programs throughout the Super Bowl and having The Who playing their halftime show further promotes their lineup. Not surprisingly The who performed all the CSI songs.
CSI - Who Are You
CSI Miami - Won't Get Fooled Again
CSI NY - Baba O'Riley
 
so nobody has any idea about the bass/pickups he was using??? ...oh screw it, it's hopeless. everyone just wants to talk about when people should "hang it up" or not...




hang what btw???? hang what???


:eyebrow::hmm::scowl::ninja:

The OP originally asked who the bassist was. He didn't even ask what he was playing. So to talk about the bass would be just as off-topic as where we are now. We got the answer - "Pino" - two posts in. Might as well make the thread worthwhile.:bassist:
 
Well... certainly Pino has a blog or something doesn't he? Has anyone thought to... you know... ASK him?

I also see there is a thread on the topic over in the "Basses" section... though I haven't been over there so don't know if the 200+ posts in that thread answered the question any more effectively there than here.

Duh - those are the three most popular Who songs. Of course they were going to play them. What did you expect, "Odorono"?
