The Who Fans Can Relive Super Bowl Halftime Show in Rock Band Game
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii gamers can download The Who's halftime recording and play it on Rock Band 1 and 2
The New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl XLIV Champions. With the memorable Super Bowl ads now available online, MTV Games and Harmonix are allowing gamers to relive The Who half-time show with new downloadable content for Rock Band. A special recording of the performance The Who from the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLIV Halftime Show is now available for purchase for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.
Two years ago at E3, The Who played a special concert for gamers in Los Angeles. On Super Bowl Sunday, they played for an audience of 100 million people on the world’s biggest stage, headlining the halftime show during the Indianapolis Colts versus New Orleans Saints Super Bowl showdown at Sun Life Stadium in South Florida. The Who have commemorated this historic event by recording a special version of the performance called “The Who Super Bowl S-mashup.”
"The Who Super Bowl S-mashup" joins 15 previously released tracks available in the Rock Band music library, from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Those songs include "Won't Get Fooled Again" featured on the original Rock Band disc and "Pinball Wizard" featured on the Rock Band 2 disc, as well as "Amazing Journey," "Baba O'Riley," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Eminence Front," "Going Mobile," "Leaving Here," "Magic Bus," "My Generation," "Real Good Looking Boy," "Sea and Sand," "Summertime Blues," "Who Are You" and "Young Man Blues," all released as downloadable content in the Rock Band Music Store.
Rock Band continues to satisfy music fans' and gamers' voracious appetite for rock with more than 1000 songs available to play via disc and download as well as 60 million paid song downloads since its launch November 20, 2007. The Rock Band Music Store allows players to preview and purchase downloadable individual music tracks, packs and albums from the vast selection of offerings available to date without ever leaving the game as they build their own custom Rock Band library.
MTV Games and EA will release a special Green Day: Rock Band game this summer, following in the footsteps of The Beatles: Rock Band last September.
