The Who

When The Who took the stage at Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010, they were hitting a high point in their long and storied career. Just before this electrifying performance, the band had released “Endless Wire” in 2006, their first studio album in 24 years, which showcased their ability to blend classic rock with new sounds and themes. It’s interesting to note that “Baba O'Riley,” the song they performed, is often hailed as one of their signature tracks—an anthem that captures the spirit of rebellion and youth! This performance marked a significant moment, not just for fans but for the band as well, as it highlighted their continued relevance in rock music and their capacity to captivate a massive audience. Plus, the choice of such an iconic song at a major sporting event really underscores how deeply embedded The Who is in the cultural fabric! Who could resist that energy?
