Of course, I watched the 12-12-12 Concert last night.
All of the performances were great. The collaborations were were especially stellar all night long.
But my honors for the best performances go to Adam Sandler's comical "Sandy Screw Ya," Chris Martin and Michael Stipe teaming up on an acoustic of "Losing My Religion." ... And pretty much everything Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and The Who performed during their respective sets.
Rolling Stone has those performances and more in its Top 10.
The New York Times also produced a great live blog that echoed so many of my thoughts on the night ... Particularly the comment about Alicia Keys asking a few times too many for “cellphones in the air.” So awkward.
The only real downfall was the length of the show. The networks carrying the concert had listed as ending at 11 p.m. central time, but it was well over midnight before it closed down. I ended up falling asleep midway though Paul McCartney's concluding set (The Nirvana reunion with McCartney, by the way, with all of the buzz surrounding it on the interwebs yesterday, I considered a bust ...) and woke up several minutes later to see all the performers on the stage together to close down the show.
But I'm hardly complaining given the talent and history jamming all over that stage last night.
Update 12.19.2012
Here's a good read from The New York Times: The Music Is Timeless, but About the Rockers ... Yeah, Roger Daltrey's unbuttoned shirt made me a little sqeamish, too.

The Saints' Super Sunday
As I watch Jim Nantz interviewing the great Drew Brees and New Orleans celebrates, some quick thoughts on the Super Bowl …
Wow, what a game. … I went in rooting for Peyton Manning and the Colts. No one gave the Saints a chance except for Phil Mickelson's little let’s-see-which-golf-ball-I-can-drive-the-furthest stunt just a few minutes before the kickoff (I couldn’t help but wonder: If Tiger Woods’ image hadn’t suddenly crumbled, would he be appearing in that bit?)
But the Saints fought. And played hard. And didn’t give in after going down 10-0 … They recovered the onside kick to open the second half. The defense kept the pressure on Peyton. And when Peyton threw that interception, it was over.
I was sorry to see the Colts lose … But so happy for the Saints and the city of New Orleans, and Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. They’ve done it with a lot of class.
Some good pre-Super Bowl reads ... The story has changed now, hasn't it?
a Peyton Manning’s Case for Being the Best Ever
a Peyton’s place: At the top
a The way this is going, it’s hard to stay stuck in neutral
As for the commercials …
I was a little disappointed. Over the years, I think we’ve been so primed to expect the funniest and wildest commercials, and the Super Bowl ads just haven’t measured up the last couple years. Of course, the economy hasn’t helped advertising budgets this year, either, and it showed.
My favorites included …
Budweiser: “The Bridge is out”
Cars.com: “Timothy Richmond”
FloTV: “My Generation”
Google: “Parisian Love”
Kia Sorrento: “A Departure From the Expected”
And any of the Doritos commercials: “Dog puts collar on man,” “Tough kid,” “Man’s last dying wish” and “Gym Ninja.”
Among the worst ...
GoDaddy: As usual. Sex doesn’t sell when the concept is so dumb.
E-Trade: The new baby doesn’t hold a candle to the original little dude.
Any commercial that involved slapping. There were way too many of them this year, and there was nothing funny about them.
Fox Sports has all of the commercials here.
The halftime show, featuring The Who …
There was no aspect of the Super Bowl that I was looking forward to more. My expectations were high. The Who is one of my favorite bands.
So I was left fairly disappointed.
The Who boys -- only Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are left, although that kid playing drums was doing a decent job of channeling Keith Moon -- weaved highlights of “Tommy” among “Baba O’Riley,” “Who Are You,” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”
But their age showed throughout the performance, and most of the time the light show that enveloped their stage was more exciting than the music. Only “Won’t Get Fooled Again” came close to vintage Who.
Worst of all, they didn’t play “My Generation,” which I had pegged as a sure-opener.

Don't Change Your Plans
Hurricane Gustav has officially arrived here. We’ve been getting pounded with rain all day. But I’ll take it … Not only is it therapeutic, we need it after the drought we had in August … It's also inspired me. I've been writing a lot and listening to my vinyls tonight ...
But that’s not the news of the day. Nor is it Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention last night …
The news of the day: Ben Folds Five is reuniting, baby!
OK, so it’s only for one night … but still!
May you share the same joy I felt this morning when my eyes landed on this piece on Facebook:
The moment I finished reading it, I grabbed for my calendar and marked the date. In pen.
I’ll admit Reinhold Messner isn’t my favorite Ben Folds album, if you’re comparing complete, good-sounding albums (Best Ben Folds album: “Songs for Silverman.” Best Ben Folds Five album: That's a toss-up between their debut and “Whatever and Ever Amen.”) But I will not deny it’s value on an artistic scale. “Don’t Change Your Plans” and “Mess” are some of my all-time favorite Ben Folds tunes and they’re arguably two of the best songs he’s done. Beyond that “Army” has become a classic in it’s own right, not to mention an awesome crowd sing-along and pleaser at his live shows. And “Lullabye” -- heck, it’s a foot-stomping good song and he worked James Earl Jones into the lyrics.
To see those three guys performing together again will be something special, to say the least …
In fact, it was the last time I saw them performing together -- although I didn’t know it at the time -- that ranks as my favorite Ben Folds concert. (For the record, it was Ben Folds concert No. 4 of 9 for me. That’s four shows with the “Five,” two solo shows and three with his new band). But enough with the numbers … )
The last time I saw the Five was October 1999 at Sokol Auditorium in Omaha, Neb. It was arguably one of the most fun concert experience I’ve had …
Fleming & John opened the night and a little known band called Train played second. Their song “Meet Virginia” had just hit the radio, and somewhere during the trip to Omaha they lost their instruments. They didn’t sweat it, though; They ended up playing an acoustic show, during which their drummer used a group of cardboard boxes as his drum set. I remember it being a-mazing …
And then Ben Folds Five came on. My roommate Karl and I took up a couple spots at the bow of the horseshoe balcony with a perfect, wide view overlooking the stage … While I sang my heart out and bobbed my head with every word, one of my lasting images from that night is looking around the bend of the balcony and seeing other Ben Folds fans just as passionate as I rocking out to "Battle of Who Could Care Less" and having the time of their lives. I remember how amazing “Don’t Change Your Plans” sounded with John Painter playing the flugelhorn live. How the lights twinkled and circled over the stage for a chilling rendition of “Magic.” How Darren Jessee was so good on the drums, he looked like a wind-up toy. And how I swore Ben Folds had to be the best, most talented piano player there ever was.
And how after the show, my roommate Karl and I freaked out upon realizing his car had been towed from the McDonald’s (or was it a Burger King?) parking lot across the street from the theater. We banded together with a bunch of kids who were in the same boat and somehow located the pound where our cars had been taken. We pooled money for a taxi cab, and I ended up loaning Karl most of the $150 cash we needed to get his car back and make the two-hour drive back to our college campus …
Those were really good times then. More innocent times. Ben Folds Five was at their peak and Folds himself was still a relative unknown to the mainstream. Back then, we went to his shows to get enthralled in his music; there were no disrespectful college kids who were only interested in hearing him cover Dr. Dre.
Folds’ new album comes out later this month. I can hardly wait. The first single popped up on You Tube a couple weeks ago … I love that he paired up with Regina Spektor; the song's growing on me ...
... And while we’re talking about reunions, it’s worth noting The Who’s “Rock Honors” show that aired on VH1 earlier this summer. It took me a span of several days and several lunch breaks to watch it on our DVR, but every minute was worth it …
Though the highlight, by far, was Adam Sandler’s musical introduction to the tune of “Magic Bus” and then The Who leading off their set with “Baba O'Riley” and an amazing light show.
Both videos are here … (if you want to see more from the show, go here.)
But that’s not the news of the day. Nor is it Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention last night …
The news of the day: Ben Folds Five is reuniting, baby!
OK, so it’s only for one night … but still!
May you share the same joy I felt this morning when my eyes landed on this piece on Facebook:
MySpace, the world's premier social network, today announced the exciting launch of its newest music program, Front to Back, celebrating iconic albums that have helped shape the MySpace Generation. MySpace kicks off this program by reuniting beloved alt-pop band Ben Folds Five with an exclusive one-time live performance of their final studio album together, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, in its entirety. The concert will be the band's first performance together in nearly ten years and will take place in the band's former hometown of Chapel Hill, North Carolina on September 18, 2008 at the UNC Memorial Hall. The show will be rebroadcast on the Front to Back official MySpace profile in October http://myspace.com/fronttoback .
