As the Super Bowl approaches, the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show has become a hot topic of discussion. This year, Usher will be headlining the show, following Rihanna's incredible performance at Super Bowl LVII. Let's take a look at all the past Super Bowl Halftime performances:
What was the first Super Bowl Halftime show like?
The inaugural Super Bowl Halftime show took place on January 15, 1967. In contrast to the recent shows, it was devoid of any commercialization or excess. Rather than a grand concert, it featured two college bands coming together to create iconic American symbols like the Liberty Bell, Jet Packs, and a paddle boat.
The celebration took place in Los Angeles while the city was recovering from the 1965 Watts riots. Back then, some African American communities criticized the Grambling band for performing during the Halftime, given the tense racial atmosphere. However, nowadays, the Grambling band is recognized as a pioneer.
