I just wanna say that thanks to the last couple pages of this thread I listened to Illmatic all the way through for the first time and would like to opine that it is, in fact, a Very Good Album™

NY State of Mind, Halftime*, and It Ain't Hard To Tell are three of the greatest tracks of all time and they're all on the same album!? Wow!

*insert a 24 page apology for the one single line about his versatile style switching in order to placate whoever said the thing about homophobia, although the line itself is really confusing if you examine it with any depth so don't do that

OH and one of the best halftime shows is washed-up rappers that sound horrible lip sync and rap horribly.

I was at the Garden when DMC (of Run-DMC) debuted his new song about New York and it was one of the worst performances I've ever seen at any venue. I kinda feel bad just thinking about it. It sounded like it was both lip-synced and off-beat at the same time, plus I sorta think gyms are sort of notorious for Really Bad Sound. Half of the crowd at MSG kinda turned away in shame from a dude who was once as NYC iconic as any given Jay-Z or Nas

Not applicable at all for DMC on that occasion because c'mon the freakin song he was singing included a line about how he first performed at MSG 30+ years ago

But in general gyms do have some of the worst possible sound quality for a performance. The echoing is real bad

90's night at a Raptors game brought out loving Skee-lo for half time and he​ did a fifteen minute long medley of I Wish intercut with him yelling the chorus to In Da Club and it was the best half time show I've seen in my life.

The worst half time show I saw in my life was a hundred people from the crowd brought out to do Zumba.

We did it little buddy...
The best halftime show I saw was 10 very small children, maybe 3rd graders, from the local area playing a 5 minute game of full court basketball with the regulation rims. The crowd cheered about as loud for the kids as they did for the pros, agonizing over every missed shot by both teams and absolutely erupted when one of the kids finally scored to make it 2-0, which ended up being the final score for the game.

That sounds even better than kids vs. mascots with the mascots physically clowning on them.

I saw a half time show like that except at an NHL game. A bunch of little kids who could basically barely stand up playing hockey. They would all try to swarm around the puck and so there was a big pile up right in front of the one goal, and the puck squirts out to one kid who then has a full length of the ice breakaway. Over the 20 seconds it takes him to skate to the other goal, everyone who is at their seat takes notice. Like, half the stadium is standing in anticipation of what was going to happen between him and the goalie.

He shot and hit the post.

Like 10 thousand people let out an "Oh!" At this 6 year old for blowing his chance.

I love the in-stadium feed. The regular rotation of half time shows is amazing (Red Panda, the two beefcakes who hug each other elaborately, old chair dude, etc.), I live for Kiss Cam and seeing the dumb pass player vignettes teams play. It's all incredible.

Also Red Panda is slipping because I've seen her gently caress up the 5 bowl toss a couple times lately. One time recently she hosed it up multiple times in a row.
She probably knew she was slipping because she retired back in 2014 http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/10/1/6882671/the-red-panda-acrobat-is-retiring-injury
But now she came back and is making mistakes.

I got to do this as a little kid at an Oilers game. Even had a play by play announcer calling names / plays as we skated around. High five'd all the NHL players as we waited in line to get on the ice. Was pretty amazing tbh!
