#27: The Who
Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, unfamiliar with American football and its halftime shows, were unprepared for their high-profile NFL gig. Their medley of classics at the show was disappointingly executed, diminishing iconic tracks like ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ and ‘Baba O’Riley’ for new listeners.
Daltrey’s rendition of ‘Who Are You’ was particularly underwhelming, and the attempted audience participation felt insincere. The game itself, where the New Orleans Saints faced the Indianapolis Colts, attracted an average of approximately 106.5 million viewers in the United States.
