What: Halftime show
When: Feb. 7, 2010
Where: Super Bowl XLIV in Miami, FL
After the explosive first half of Super Bowl XLIV, the New Orleans Saints trailed the Indianapolis Colts by 4 points, 10-6. Over 100 million viewers watched as the field at Sun Life Stadium transformed into a high-tech, laser-lighted concert stage. After the halftime report, the stage was complete and ready for one of the most famous rock bands in music history, The Who.
The show started quietly as lead guitarist Pete Townshend strummed his acoustic. Then, a huge burst of light rolls down the stage floor. Roger Daltrey begins to sing, "Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball," the first lines of "Pinball Wizard." Townshend and Daltrey, alongside drummer Zak Starkey (son of Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles), continued the show with their biggest hits like "Baba O'Riley," "Who Are You" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
Throughout the concert, thousands of lights moved with the music. At some points they even synced to form pictures, such as The Who's logo and a white guitarist. The show was nothing less than spectacular, with roaring electric guitars, crashing cymbals and even a harmonica solo by Daltrey. This was one Super Bowl Halftime Show that I will never forget.
And don't forget, the Saints came back to win 31-17. GO SAINTS!
