Have we heard anything yet? For an event having trouble selling tickets, I'm shocked this hasn't been announced yet.

Who ever it is given the date and the likelihood of chilly weather would anyone actually be performing or is it just a sing along with canned music?

Blech. Stop mentioning that hack.

Back in 2000 I believe the Guess Who's instruments were pre-recorded while Burt did sing live.  Something about the cold affecting guitars?

Cold affects everything... 

The pre-taping for stuff like this, and awards shows, has more to do with timing than anything. They need to make sure that the half time fits the TV schedule, and it's easier to do that when they have the exact time ahead of time.....thus, pre-recording.....

As much as I despise the guy and think he's an absolute tool,  the guy does have insane musical talent.   He's mostly self taught as well.  

 

******* and a ****** for sure... hack... not so much

Foo Fighters and Grey Cup starting to trend.

If you want to see the band,

 

For a second there I thought you meant The Band... which would be awesome... although I don't believe they are still together...

The cold weather would absolutely affect the tuning... legit reason in my books

This would make it worth the price of the ticket... but I'm not holding my breath....

Foo Fighters would be a major coup .. would be awesome for the league and for Winnipeg .. but I have my doubts this is happening.

I'd be floored if "we" landed the Foo especially given the relative crap that the half time show has seen since....well, my lifetime. One of rock's greatest acts in recent memory - I'd buy a ticket just to see them.

The Band would be great but they'd have a few problems performing a live show.  3 dead and counting but if the music is canned anyway, why the hell not?

plus you try and play instruments in the cold it's going to sound like utter **** anyway.

Hmm, half-time, and the entertainment is only going through the motions, without actually getting anything done.

Why does this notion ring a bell somewhere in th back of my mind? And why does it seem perfectly suited for a Winnipeg hosting of the Grey Cup?

I'm not up-to-date on who's alive in that band... I just know that they're awesome... I thought I recalled some incarnation of The Band doing shows recently... unless that was just a dream   or I'm thinking of a completely different band

I'm not sure if it was the bad but I recall David Grohl recently breaking his leg( may not have been broken but at least seriously hurt) while on stage and finishing his show.

I believe that happened back in June or July... and he finished the tour on this...

 

 

possibly healed up by now?

That was foo fighters this past summer, he did finish the show (in a chair of course) but his tour got cancelled. Thats why I was unsure if theyd have time to play here if they restart tour now that hes healthy

Oh they did go ahead with tour? I remember reading the story that it was being cancelled but he did finish the show sitting in a chair with his leg propped up like in the pic - guess the fact hes in a cast in that pic answers that lol. Is it just me or does his leg look really warped in that pic from his knee to his foot?

I believe they did the whole tour... I'm sure some research can confirm or refute that... I don't care enough to look it up 

The Hip?

Still don't get how on Earth they haven't done a GC

If True North is involved in helping book the band, I wouldn't completely rule it out.  TN already handles the IGF booking iirc.
