Must Read | The Who Slam Their Own 'Disappointing' Super Bowl Performance

The Who Slam Their Own 'Disappointing' Super Bowl Performance information from www.spinner.com

The Who's singer Roger Daltrey has hit back at the negative reviews of the rock band's halftime Super Bowl performance at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami earlier this week (Feb. 7).

Speaking to ESPN, Daltrey -- who along with Pete Townshend, are the only two remaining original members of the iconic band -- has spoken out about their five song appearance.

Daltrey berates the critics saying, "It didn't even feel like a concert. It's a television show. And what can you do in twelve minutes?"

He continued, admitting that the show could have gone better, "Cameras were everywhere, I was so blinded that I couldn't see. And I really wished the crowd would have gotten into singing the songs with us more. That's how it is in Europe for our soccer matches. I wanted more banter."

Townshend added, however, "We were trying to put on a good show, we had as fun as we could have. Miami is so different these days." He also said, jokingly, "Now Miami is fun and hip and I'm too old to enjoy it."

The Who performed 'Pinball Wizard,' 'Baba O' Riley,' 'Who Are You,' 'See Me' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again.'
