The Who get honored, then go on tour
As you surely know by now, The Who were honored this past Sunday as the latest edition of VH1 Rock Honors. However, aside from the lucky select 6,000 who were able to attend the intimate concert that featured tributes from The Flaming Lips, Pearl Jam, Incubus, and others, your first chance to watch the performance in its entirety is tonight at at 9pm EDT on VH1.
After seeing the setlist (below) from Sunday’s tribute and realizing that many of us will have already made our ways to the movie theaters in anticipation of The Dark Knight, we made a quick search around the web to check out if any footage has surfaced.
This is the best we could find:
Foo Fighters perform “Bargain”
