So I noticed last night on the Super Bowl halftime that what the musicians were doing from time to time didn't quite match up to what I was hearing. As it turns out, Flea's bass wasn't even plugged into anything... not a wireless transmitter.. just an empty jack.
As it turns out:
+Chad Smith Bruno’s bassist posted this:
“All instruments at Super Bowl half time shows are prerecorded. Have been for a good many years. It isn’t feasible to soundcheck everyone in the amount of time they have and too many things can go wrong. You might be able to take two minutes to fix something at a regular concert, but two minutes at the Superbowl is millions and millions of dollars down the drain. The NFL isn’t willing to take that risk”

Anyways, totally agree. I bet the vocals were done as well.. as much as they were jumping around, none of them were the least bit out of breath as they should have been.

Report that the Seahawks charter was diverted to MSP due to pilot duty day issue. Unconfirmed.

Mostly wrong. Flightaware says it is diverting to SLC, but some easy investigation with tools we all have access to reveals a different reason. I can't post it here because it's Delta's information.

It did divert to MSP. Check out MSP Fox 9 website for details.

Yep.. the crew dutied on at 0600 in ATL and flew the plane (ship 128) up there. They spent 3:19 on the ground in the turn, then 2 hours deicing and subsequently ran out of time. MSP was as far as they could get (hub wise) with their allowable duty day.
They turned the plane in 38 minutes in MSP... not bad!
