You also may have picked up on the news that the band plans on performing a special, condensed medley of their greatest hits during Sunday&#8217;s big game. Now developer Harmonix has announced that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/do\/gameOverview?cId=3168258\" title=\"Rock Band 2\">Rock Band<\/a> owners will be able to download a previously recorded version of that performance immediately after the game.<\/p>\n<p>The track, which they&#8217;re calling &#8220;The Who Super Bowl S-Mashup,&#8221; will be priced at the standard $1.99. It&#8217;s coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Wii following the game this Sunday, February 7. The PlayStation 3 version is listed as &#8220;coming soon&#8221; &#8212; if we had to guess, that&#8217;ll be next Thursday, February 11.<\/p>\n<p>Judging from a recent Billboard <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/#\/events\/the-who-reveals-super-bowl-set-list-1004061611.story\" >interview<\/a> with guitarist Pete Townshend, the performance sounds like it should push all the right buttons for fans of The Who:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re kinda doing a mashup of stuff. A bit of &#8216;Baba O&#8217;Riley,&#8217; a bit of &#8216;Pinball Wizard,&#8217; a bit of the close of &#8216;Tommy,&#8217; a bit of &#8216;Who Are You,&#8217; and a bit of &#8216;Won&#8217;t Get Fooled Again.&#8217; It works &#8212; it&#8217;s quite a saga. A lot of the stuff that we do has that kind of celebratory vibe about it &#8212; we&#8217;ve always tried to make music that allows the audience to go a bit wild if they want to. Hopefully it will hit the spot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--End feature--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/yRuXItYOoV87n1-d-YZ9yIAseQo\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/f2518_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/yRuXItYOoV87n1-d-YZ9yIAseQo\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/f2518_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLPS3\/content?a=jCBFdY2WYGE:6z5ZejUN_44:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/72647_content?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLPS3\/content?a=jCBFdY2WYGE:6z5ZejUN_44:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/74474_content?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLPS3\/content?a=jCBFdY2WYGE:6z5ZejUN_44:2mJPEYqXBVI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/13f23_content?d=2mJPEYqXBVI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/do\/newsStory?cId=3177823\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might have heard that a little band called The Who will be playing during the half-time show at the Super Bowl this weekend.
