personally i thought it could have been wayyy better, they should have had Jay-Z on there instead of the peas
1) I really had no interest in the Superbowl, so even if I were a fan of the Black Eyed Peas, I still wouldn't have watched it. 2) I really hate the Black Eyed Peas, so even if I watched the Superbowl I still wouldn't have watched it.
Pathetic. I might be old but these guys couldn't compete with the show in the back ground. I walked away to fix myself a another drink. Nothing compares to what I experienced at the Filmore West in San Francisco late sixties, early seventies.
I listen to everything from Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk, to The Ramones and The Sex Pistols, to Neko Case and Ryan Adams to The Roots and Public Enemy, metal, punk, alt, twang, Dylan, The Clash, Johnny Cash, Chet Baker, The Black Keys...and everything in between. The Black Eyed Peas are a horrible marketing idea pawned off as "music." They are the Spice Girls with more boys. They suck. I was embarrassed for them, for the Super Bowl and for us as a nation. Did I answer your question?
My dog enjoyed it, since that was the time I took him out for a nice walk! Once the amateurs were off the field I returned to see the rest of a good football game, the Packers won, and the dog fell asleep on the couch. Something for everyone! Jim
musicality = bad sound tech = disaster field show = not bad Slash = odd choice with the Peas, but he seemed to be the best thing going Usher = marginal
The phrase "Hey what's happening, man?" was quite popular in those days because one would either slip into unconsciousness or just "pass out" and come back suddenly realizing you were in the middle of a concert, sitting on the hardwood floor of the former Avalon Ballroom. That's if you made it in there in the first place. There were no Ticketrons and you had to stand in line to buy the tickets. Because of certain activities going around, some would get too "high" to remember why you were standing in line and together with the munchies that set in, go to the nearby eatery. Lucky for me, I got into many concerts, except for the major ones like Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother, Jimi Hendrix and the Dead which were always sold out. The era of projecting colorful oil based liquid floating on top of water above a light source in the background was the beginning of the psychedelic era. Just when you got hungry again, the apple that was given to every attendee by a big black guy in the intermediate landing of the staircase was a refreshing hit on the palate. So yes, I remember plenty but I also passed out a lot to hear the phrase "Hey man, you were gone a long time. How was the trip" when I floated back down.
Never did see it. I watched just the 2nd half, to avoid all the commercial nonsense. As I predicted on here in another thread, some dumb rock star would do the National Anthem. And sure enough, I heard she ***ked it up.
