The Who Rock the Super Bowl

The Who's Pete Townshend Photo credit: Michael P. Malarkey The Who took midfield on Sunday for a pyro/laser light-heavy halftime performance that kicked off with Peter Townshend attacking an acoustic guitar with gusto for “Pinball Wizard,” and then turning to his Fender Strat® to rip off a few slow motion signature windmills during “Baba O’Riley.” Roger Daltrey whipped out his harmonica for an instrumental segment before segueing into “Who Are You.” Townshend viciously stabbed at his guitar during his solo and then, bathed in red lighting that matched his Strat, the English rocker finished the number with about nine consecutive fast and furious windmills. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers played a few notes of “See Me, Feel Me” before wrapping up with “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” Spectacular fireworks erupted during the finale as the circular lights surrounding the stage flashed between “The Who” to a giant-sized silhouette of Townshend windmilling.

The halftime performance, by the way, was watched by more than 106.5 million people, making it the most watched program in TV history. The previous record dates back to the 1983 finale of “M-A-S-H.” Also spotted during pregame, Daughtry bassist Josh Paul rocking his Fender bass during the Super Bowl tailgate party. The band’s “Life After You Air” aired on CBS during the pregame show. Below is a You Tube clip of their performance.

The Steve Miller Band also played at an NFL Super Bowl party on Saturday night at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, Fla. The video is available on our Fender Facebook page.
