    I get excited about the speculation of a Friday appearance somewhere. But coming from out of town, I might not have a way to find out about it. Can someone who is going to try to be on top of this, send me an email? So I can give you my cell number to text if they do pop up somewhere on Friday?

    I understand there will be a rehearsal on Friday before the show. If I was Eddie, I'd just hang out with Pete, or Dave Grohl or Jack Black or something, but just in case....

    Thanks,
    Charles

    THE NIGHT WILL FEATURE AN UNFORGETTABLE LIVE PERFORMANCE BY THE WHO as well as by tribute bands PEARL JAM, FOO FIGHTERS AND THE FLAMING LIPS 'VH1 Rock Honors: The Who' Premieres Thursday, July 17 at 9pm* on VH1, VH1 Classic and MHD

    NEW YORK, June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Grammy nominated alternative rock band
    Incubus and comedy-rock duo Tenacious D featuring Jack Black and Kyle Gass
    join previously announced tribute bands Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and The
    Flaming Lips as they perform at the network's third annual "VH1 Rock Honors."
    This years celebration will honor the legendary rock band The Who with
    appearances by Rainn Wilson. Additional performers, presenters and special
    guests will be announced as they are confirmed.

    This year's event will deliver a night of high-voltage tribute
    performances by the five bands all leading up to the spectacular grand finale
    performance by The Who as they rock the stage. As a result of The Who's
    revolutionary and era-defining influence on rock music, this will be the first

    the show leading up to and following the on-air premiere at Rock.VH1.com. The
    Who's monumental legacy will be celebrated with a 2-hour tribute that will
    salute the music and the lasting impact of this groundbreaking band. The
    influence of The Who will be felt through spoken tributes, filmed packages and
    performances by some of today's premiere rock acts as well as the legends
    themselves.

    I agree that they'll probably just play maybe 3 who songs, no PJ songs. And perhaps Ed will sit in with the Who for a song (and/or in an "allstar" version of pinball wizard or who are you).

    I imagine there will be some great moments, some so so, and lots of cheezy plastic glitz. Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to it.

    If only someone could get me into the rehearsal the night before!

    PJ will do one Who song, then The Who will do two songs.

    i know it's a tv show, etc. but that is really kind of bullshit to add performers after i paid for a ticket, stuff like that is the reason they make attending taping of tv shows free

    Whatever ends up on TV, The Who are scheduled to play 45 minutes so we should get a nice set from them. I'd say at least 4 or 5 songs, probably more.
