Worst Halftime Ever?

[firstdown]

The sound was bad and the band was just as bad. I thought the Stone's would have done a better job than what they did. I have worked sound before and it is tough to roll out a band and just kick it on as they have to do with that kind of show. When the sound is set the stadium is empty and gives totaly different sound than when it is full. You think they could find an American band.

Do you also complain when Paul McCartney does the half time SB show? Nationality doesn't matter - though sensitivity towards the genre of music that origniated in Detroit does. Joss Stone, who also sang yesterday in pre-game is British as well.

I'm a big Rolling Stones fan, and have seen them in concert about 10 times, but I'm also absolutely in agreement that there was no need for the league to bring the Stones in given that the game was being played in Motown. Huge snub to the motown legends.

I could have worded it a little better. I thought they should have had a Motown band or a Motown theme. Paul McCartney was great a few years back. I would like to see them have a couple of top College Bands play it would be a nice change. Thats college marching bands.

Besides, McCartney has done some work with MoTown artists in the past. So maybe he's not entirely seen as someone from "over there", if you will.

I will say the National Anthem was atrocious. I couldn't believe it. The year the Whitney Houston did the National Anthem was the best!
