As for me, watching the rest of the game was more important than blogging about The Who. So here it is--Congrats to the Saints, Drew Brees, New Orleans, and all of Louisiana. It was a great game and a great win. Especially in the second half, it was all Saints football. Congrats!
Now, The Who...
Last year, after watching Roger sing "Love, Reign O'er Me," someone told me his pipes were not what they used to be. That same review may be valid tonight too, but may I be able to belt out "See Me, Touch Me, Heal Me" like he did tonight, much less in 20 years. Roger, Pete, Zach, and the rest of the cast, you guys rock.
Now, the set list...
All right, the Who songs used by CBS for its CSI franchise of shows are great songs. Using "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Who Are You" are great choices for procedural detective thrillers. (Baba, not so much...) But c'mon, half of the set list consisted of songs that are being used as theme songs for CBS shows on what network? CBS.
I'm just a little skeptical of who put together the set list.
Loved the game, love The Who, the announcers didn't ruin the game for me, all in all a successful broadcast. But still, that nagging feeling... all that was missing was David Caruso coming out from the video monitor during the two-point conversion challenge, ripping off the shades, saying something off-handed and hearing Roger's scream.
Next year in Dallas? Mazel tov!
