'Getting in Tune' with The Who for Sunday's Superbowl XLIV

Who's Next

The Who

In 1971, The Who released "Who's Next" their fifth album.  It had songs like Baba O'Riley, Getting in Tune, Going Mobile, Behind Blue Eyes, and Won't Get Fooled Again.  Even kids now days know these songs, if from nothing else (heaven help us), simply being the awesome music moving the intros to the CSI television shows.  Can you imagine CSI Las Vegas without Who Are You? playing at the beginning of each episode? Can you children, can you?  Didn't think so.  This is how the older generation feels about the album Who's Next and the year 1971.

This Sunday, The Who will be taking the field by storm and rocking the football masses at Superbowl XLIV by playing some solid seventies music like Behind Blue Eyes, Pinball Wizard and Won't Get Fooled Again (presumably).  At a news conference, they gave a little taste of what's to come - http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-super-bowl/09000d5d816341ed/The-Who-perform

To get you prepped for Sunday's big game, in typical seventies fashion, we leave you with a Pete Townshend quote "We tried not to age, but time had its rage," no worries, we think you're in tune and ageless
