Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was in marching band [trumpet] (I know...one time, at band camp), and one of the key problems we had when the band was spread out was trying to keep in time because the distance between the instruments was such that there would be a millisecond delay between the far sides of the formation when listening. As a result, we learned to ignore what we were hearing, and instead follow the drum major's hand to keep time - which we could see via the speed of light effectively simultaneously to everyone in the formation. Thus, to a person listening in the stands it would have a consistent timing across all the instruments from one side to the other. Inside the formation, it always sounded off, due to the delay caused by the speed of sound. The point is, live performance at the super bowl must be insane, and have similar problems due to the sound system being spread out across the whole stadium. If usher was singing live, he must have had a monitor of the live sound to keep time to, of course he's a pro so has had experience with this.

Paul McCartney played the half time for Super Bowl 39 in 2005. He was backed up by a band on stage, complete with drums, other guitarists and a keyboard player. Paul was playing his Hofner bass and singing. Great show and great sound engineering. It appears to be a live performance and can be viewed on YouTube. In their prime, Grand Funk Railroad would have put on a great, live show.

I was a part of this phenomenon halftime show!
Im a Drum Major for The Sonic Boom of The South Marching Band (Jackson State University), and Usher and ALL of the artists were definitely singing LIVE!
We had inner ears so that we could hear the tracks, and we could hear every single thing that they were doing. Usher sang live AND danced simultaneously!!

I see so many comments regarding to the favorite artists or talented musicians people want to see on halftime, but maybe the missing point is the drive, that energy that moves a stadium, that feel that keeps the crowd hypnotized right through the end – I know that lights, dance and special effects are a part of the show – but, at the end of the day, it's all about the song. If there is no hit, it's very difficult, specially because social media and the internet makes people see and feel the world with immediacy and impatience. I think that there are just a few artists and bands that could handle it, and I agree with you Rick, pointing that a long-lived career really counts. Long live to your channel and to the old but gold music that saves us!

Before downloads I remember buying an album (tape or CD for me) was an experience. I’d listen to the entire album all the way thru 3 or 4 times. Take the time to learn song titles. Look at the lyrics and artwork. It was a special moment because that’s the choice I picked for the limited funds I had. With downloads we lost touch with all of that. Now everyone has the attention span of a gnat and seldom really appreciate the content.

I'm glad I stayed till the end of the video to hear Rick's point about the decentralization of music... Incredibly astute!
