You might have heard that a little band called The Who will be playing during the half-time show at the Super Bowl this weekend. You also may have picked up on the news that the band plans on performing a special, condensed medley of their greatest hits during Sunday's big game. Now developer Harmonix has announced that Rock Band owners will be able to download a previously recorded version of that performance immediately after the game.

The track, which they're calling "The Who Super Bowl S-Mashup," will be priced at the standard $1.99. It's coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Wii following the game this Sunday, February 7. The PlayStation 3 version is listed as "coming soon" -- if we had to guess, that'll be next Thursday, February 11.

Judging from a recent Billboard interview with guitarist Pete Townshend, the performance sounds like it should push all the right buttons for fans of The Who:

"We're kinda doing a mashup of stuff. A bit of 'Baba O'Riley,' a bit of 'Pinball Wizard,' a bit of the close of 'Tommy,' a bit of 'Who Are You,' and a bit of 'Won't Get Fooled Again.' It works -- it's quite a saga. A lot of the stuff that we do has that kind of celebratory vibe about it -- we've always tried to make music that allows the audience to go a bit wild if they want to. Hopefully it will hit the spot."
