The who set list for super bowl announced.
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 7:05 amGREAT LIST... looking forward to the show!! and if they perfom like they did for the 9/11 benefit... the only group to really give 150% that concert... this will be one of the top 5 halftime shows...
Now that the regular-season games are over, football fans finally know which two teams will be squaring off for the championship on February 7. The New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, however, aren't the only folks getting ready for the Super Bowl.
The Who revealed plans for their Super Bowl set list on Monday (January 25), stitching together a tapestry of classic hits that will fuel a high-profile halftime show from the legendary rockers.
Speaking with Billboard.com, Pete Townshend explained that the band's halftime show will feature a "compact medley" of their greatest hits, most of which debuted five decades ago.
"We're kinda doing a mash-up of stuff," he said. "A bit of 'Baba O'Riley,' a bit of 'Pinball Wizard,' a bit of the close of 'Tommy,' a bit of 'Who Are You,' and a bit of 'Won't Get Fooled Again.' "
The band will segue from one hard-rocking song into another, attempting to appeal to their older base while also keeping younger folks entertained with the high-energy, hooks-only song sampling. "It works — it's quite a saga," Tonwshend told the music site. "A lot of the stuff that we do has that kind of celebratory vibe about it — we'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."

I could have posted this before they even announced it.
it just kills me, there is so much GREAT material in their catalog and so many people only know their version of the dirty dozen.... Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley, I Can See For Miles, etc. Yawn.
