As some had previously suspected based on recent interviews with surviving members of The Who, the long-hyped full album release of Who's Next will unfortunately never be completed, as many of the master tracks have been lost or stolen in the many years since the album's release. However, there is a very big bright side to this announcement. With much help from Peter Townshend and Roger Daltry, Harmonix have compiled a "best of" selection of twelve tracks which will be released on July 15th for $19.99 (1600 MSP) for the whole set or $1.99 (160 MSP) per track.
Songs included are:
“Amazing Journey” - Tommy, 1969
“Baba O'Riley” - Who's Next, 1971
“Behind Blue Eyes” - Who's Next, 1971
“Eminence Front” - It's Hard, 1982
“Going Mobile” - Who's Next, 1971
“Leaving Here” - Who's Missing, 1985
“My Generation” (LIVE) - Live at Leeds, 1970
“Real Good Looking Boy” - Then and Now, 2004
“Sea & Sand” - Quadrophenia, 1973
“Summertime Blues” (LIVE) - Live at Leeds, 1970
“Who Are You” - Who Are You, 1978
“Young Man Blues” (LIVE) - Live at Leeds, 1970
All tracks are from master recordings, and the Live versions are from the band's classic album Live at Leeds.
“We’re really pleased to have our songs featured in Rock Band,” says Roger Daltrey, lead singer of The Who. “It allows our established fan base to interact with our music in a way that’s fresh and exciting, while also exposing our songs to new audiences.”
“I’m a fan of Rock Band,” says Who guitarist Pete Townshend. “I play the game with my son and girlfriend and love the way it brings different generations together through music. I like the idea that people of all ages will be having fun playing our songs.”
