Title: The Who
Post by: Sandra on February 07, 2010, 13:51

The Who are playing at half time in the SuperBowl final in the early hours of tomorrow morning for up to 45 minutes.
Not sure what time it will be as I dont know how long these games go on for but the kick off is at 11-25pm and full coverage is on BBC1.
I dont want to record the whole thing just for the 45 minute bit I will actually watch so does anyone know what time half time will be ?

I'd be tempted to record the whole thing, to make sure you get it, Sandra.  Can you not edit it afterwards?

I believe its on for hours and hours :O

I could record it all but I would rather only have to fast forward about 15 minutes rather than have to go through an hour or two to get to the only bit worth watching.

If no one can come up with a definitive answer, I guess the best way might be to record it from, say, 1am to 3am?  :dunno:

well it will vary I guess.. well I think half time is like 45 minutes... but the starting point will change depending on how long the game goes on. American Football has a stupid amount of clock stops and the first 15 minute could easily take an hour.

I'm off to a party to watch Dr Who instead of the Super Bowl :-p

If you have the disk space just record it from like midnight...  though its bound to be on youtube tomorrow / bbc iplayer.

I went to bed early last night (well this morning really :) ), so recorded it from around 1am until it finished. I havent checked yet but heard on the radio that they only played for about 12 minutes and that it wasnt very good  :(

Probably the best Who song too.  :)

I have to say I like most of their songs.  I remember seeing them in Cardiff when they were in their heyday.  Yes, they really did smash their equipment at the end of the concert!   ::)
