Phnymiboy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Unless I missed it, no one has mentioned that Steve Winwood is performing for the pre-game show for the Super Bowl. Can be seen live on CBS @ 4:15pm. If someone has mentioned it...sorry. http://bigfun3.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/BigFunThree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoo Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 cool! I'll be sure to catch it. .... but let's hope his B-3 doesn't get stuck sinking into the field.

jarrell Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 What happened to the bass? You'd think they could get the sound mix together for a broadcast like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phnymiboy Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Boy it was lame! Awful sound. Really was hoping to hear SW's pedal and LH. Couldn't hear a thing he was playing. Oh well that's showbiz. http://bigfun3.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/BigFunThree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthoid Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Disappointed here as well. Lousy sound mix. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrell Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Does make me wonder... did this just screw up live after the soundcheck, or did they not notice at the soundcheck. Or, most likely, the live sound was OK, but they screwed up the video feed mix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I looked at my wife and said, "this sounds like the mix we get when the [local channel] broadcasts performances from the Fourth of July event here every year." She said, "I wasn't going to say anything, except ask you when it was over, but yeah!" "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

gd1 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I was ther and watched most of his concert - he was amazing as always, his guitar playing is just so damn good won't even go to the B3 discussion. I have heard that the sound at the network carried for both these Fan Jams and The Who was not that great. I was in the stadium and can tell you that the sound was very good, the light show spectacular and very few of the 72k in the stands were sitting during that 12 minute set. On the field beside the stage I could hear the fans over the stage monitors. At this point in time I have to admit that I caught part of Justin B... (young kid that all the kidletts are screaming over) - he is actually quite the entertainer which was so pleansantly surprising. Also saw Rhianna and meh... too much Ashely Simpson going on there (backing track with full vox and instrumentals). All I can say is that you American throw the best party in the world hands down. Been to a couple World's Fairs and 1 Olympics - Bloody fantastic job you all do!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 That was just ridiculous, the way the broadcast sound mix was basically all Roger and Pete. I looked at my wife and said "why'd they bother hiring Winwood when they could have just picked up a local schlep for a lot cheaper to serve the same function, be sonic wallpaper behind the Old Fart Show.... A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Summers Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I got home from work too late to see S. Winwood, but I couldn't believe how bad the WHO sounded. I went to CBS.com later and complained. "Music should never be harmless." Robbie Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yes, vocally Pete Townshend was abysmal. He never was a great singer, although a great songwriter and rhythm guitarist, but now he can't sing in tune! They're still dynamic performers, of course. I certainly wouldn't want to hear that performance again,though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammondDave Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I believe that The Who's performance will permanently put an end to the use of Classic Rockers for Superbowl halftime shows. What will replace them? How about some stupid reality show final? Like trotting out all the fat people from Biggest Losers for a final "weigh-off"? Or how about a good marching band?

Eric Iverson Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Don't you think that the Archies would be a little too HIGHBROW for football fans? Yes, I'm kidding. In high school, though, I was considered a "hippie" (long-haired pot smoking guitarists) and thought that the football players were serious knuckledraggers.... Now I no longer feel that way about athletes in general, though I'm still not sure about THOSE guys! I enjoyed seeing Stevie Winwood though. And David Letterman with Oprah and Jay. Maybe next year the three of them can sing a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
