Thank you Stereogum for this heads up.
Tonight on VH1 is the premiere of a VH1 Rock Honors concert celebrating those 60s and 70s bad ass rock behemoths The Who. A bunch of stupid bands are getting together to cover some Who jams, including Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Incubus and Tenacious D.
Thankfully, there is some wonderful icing atop this cake though. The concert also features The Flaming Lips! Come again?
Thanks to a video that Stereogum posted of the Lips practicing their song for this tribute gathering, I'm assuming they are performing a medley combining "Pinball Wizard," "Rael" (from The Who Sell Out), and something else I didn't recognize. AWESOME.
The concert premieres tonight at 9/8c on VH1.
Now watch this practice video. So bad ass!

Dude, come on...don't knock Pearl Jam.
Hopefully VH1 will rerun this as much as they do all their other stuff. That way I'll hopefully catch it at some point.
I actually did end up digging the Pearl Jam covers.
