The R-Section did a great job of making it look real. Zak didn't seem to be having fun.
I have seen him perform before and he is almost always expressionless.

Hi all, this is my first post on this site. I saw The Who at half time and thought the sound was not too good. I don't think I've ever heard a halftime show sound good in any stadium. I've been to a couple performances at the Astrodome during the Rodeo and they never sounded good either. Loved The Who either way and wondered what the process is to get the cymbals those colors. I thought they were pretty cool.

Thanks for the welcome. My boys gave me that nickname and not because I play drums.

You guys do realize that all tracks except Pete Townsend's guitar and vocal and Roger Daughtry's vocal were flown...
How do you know this and did anybody else come to this conclusion? :confused:
I'm interested because I saw a crummy YouTube version that you wouldn't be able to tell that from and I'm curious (and sickened) to think it's come to not just Britney Spears karaoke'ing out but a legendary rock band.
Is it true that the drums and some other stuff was pre-recorded?

My first clue was Zak's level of exertion didn't seem to match what I was hearing. To my ears, it didn't sound like a live kit. Also, all tracks were so precise and well mixed with no peaks or little muffs usually heard with live performances.
The lead vocal, Townsend's backup vocal and guitar parts were peaky, edgy and varied in mix levels.
I don't have any means of proof, but have spoken to a couple of pals who drew the same conclusion.

It was all live, for better or worse. Nothing was flown in.

Geez even a band like the Who... who has played thousands and thousands of gigs in every circumstance you could dream of would have tough time with that crazy gig. Rush out there in total chaos, assemble every thing in minutes, perform this medley and pick up all the changes without it falling apart...
Fly the whole damn thing... I'd say they knew plenty enough of the potential for total disaster and decided... they wouldn't get fooled again.
Not a Guru... just interested..

Springsteen + band was live. Petty was live. Prince was live. The Stones were live. McCartney was live. U2 was live.
Nothing was flown in or taped for the Who. It was live!
