Sunday night, Feb 7, many viewer’s tuned in to watch the history being made when the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts faced off in the Super Bowl. Though some other viewers only tuned into watch the legendary band The Who play the Bridgestone Super Bowl Halftime show for this football game.

The Who’s halftime show set list started with “Pinball Wizard,” then to “Baba O’Riley,” followed by “Who Are You,” second to last “See Me, Feel Me” and finishing with “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”
However there is something that many viewers and fans didn’t know about this halftime show. Harmonix, the company that developed Rock Band, announced that it would be releasing The Who’s halftime show medley for download from the Rock Band music store. As soon as the Super Bowl was finished the medley of songs preformed by The Who was released for the Rock Band music store download, titled “The Who Super Bowl S-Mashup.”

The price tag is $1.99 for Sony PlayStation 3 or 160 Microsoft points in the case of the Xbox 360 and $2 for the Nintendo Wii.

This set joined other famous Who songs already in the Rock Band music library such as “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Amazing Journey,” “Baba O’Riley,” “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Eminence Front,” “Going Mobile,” “Leaving Here,” “Magic Bus,” “My Generation,” “Real Good Looking Boy,” “Sea and Sand,” “Summertime Blues,” “Who Are You” and “Young Man Blues.” The recording was released immediately after the Super Bowl to Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii computer entertainment systems, but owners of the Sony PlayStation 3 will have to wait just a bit longer to get a Who fix.

When asked what inspired this transition of The Who’s halftime show to Rock Band, Stephanie Myers, publicist for Harmonix music systems said, “We’re just big fans of The Who, we have included a nice chunk of their songs as downloadable content and were happy to be able to bring this legendary performance to Rock Band DLC as well.”

With this historic performance wrapped up and ready for anybody to download, this is sure to keep any fan of The Who new or old happy for quite some time along with the other great songs that the Rock Band has made available for download in its music store.
