The Who

In the lead-up to their electrifying performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2010, The Who had recently released their first studio album in over a decade, "Endless Wire," back in 2006. This album marked a significant milestone for the band, as it was their first fully original work since 1982's "It's Hard." While "Endless Wire" was received with mixed reviews, it still showcased their enduring creativity and ability to fuse rock with introspective lyrics. By the time of their Super Bowl appearance, The Who had already solidified their legacy as rock legends, but this performance brought their classic hits to a new generation. It’s fascinating to think about how such a massive platform allowed them to shine brightly again, reminding audiences of their powerful anthems like “Baba O'Riley” and “Who Are You.” Imagine combining the spectacle of the Super Bowl with the raw energy of rock's icons— it’s no wonder their performance is still talked about today!
