"I understand. It's a TV show. Cameras were everywhere," he added. "I was so blinded that I couldn't see."
Daltrey, 65, said those in the stadium weren't exactly into the five-song medley of their greatest hits either.

Guitarist Pete Townshend, 64, defended the group's performance.

"We were trying to put on a great show," he said. "We had as much fun as we could have."
Critics were lukewarm on the half time show. While the Boston Herald called it "12 minutes of great rock 'n' roll," the Chicago Sun-Times said they were "woefully flat and out of sync" and the Dallas Morning News wrote, "the stage was the most exciting part of the show."
