Joe Walsh was at Super Bowl 52 Sunday in Minneapolis, and came away with a complaint that seems surprising for a veteran of stadium performing.
In a note to music blogger Bob Lefsetz about Justin Timberlake's Halftime Show, Joe wrote, "If you were at the game, the performance made no sense whatever. It was totally designed for home viewing, as one whole side of the stadium watched the back of it.
"There were people running all over (off camera) trying to get in place where he was going to be next. [But] marching band members (with 60 tubas) were totally in the way of every one involved. (Trump should build the wall with tubas -- nothing gets thru 60 tubas). And when Justin ran up the aisle at the close he simply vanished for the rest of the song.
"Don't get me wrong, Timberlake is a totally valid and gifted singer, dancer, actor -- he excels at anything he does. At home the whole thing probably had nice continuity, but at the stadium it was the perfect time to go pee."
The Eagles have added six more dates to their tour, with more on the way. The new shows are:
- 9/12+14 - Los Angeles, CA
- 9/18 - Sacramento, CA
- 10/6 - Hartford, CT
- 10/18 - Milwaukee, WI
- 10/20 - Cleveland, OH
