In 2010 The Who played the Super Bowl Halftime. The game was between the National Football Conference champions New Orleans Saints and the American Football Conference champions Indianapolis Colts to decide the National Football League champion for the 2009 season. In an intriguing twist compared to past Super Bowl performers, there was no audience surrounding the oval stage. But plenty of pyrotechnics were on display as the band’s red, white, blue, and black insignia revolved in a circular motion. Renowned guitarist Pete Townshend opened with some frantic acoustic strumming on his signature blond J-200 Gibson acoustic. The song in question was “Pinball Wizard”, one of two hits pulled from the seminal 1969 concept long-player, Tommy. Townshend, sporting a sleek, black coat rolled up to his elbows encasing a white shirt, wore shaded reading glasses. A black top-hat with a red bandana under it rounded out his rock star persona.
