Tenacious D has released "The Who Medley," a three-song tribute to the WHO's 1969 rock opera Tommy.

The three-minute medley finds Jack Black and Kyle Gass performing the Pete Townshend-penned tracks "Pinball Wizard," "There's a Doctor" and "Go to the Mirror!" The duo have performed this medley nearly 100 times in concert since 2004.
 
You can see the song's Liam Lynch-directed video below.
 
"Who better to deliver a tribute to the greatest rock opera of all times? Who? The D! That’s Who!!" The band explained in a press release. "We’ve been working on this medley for 20 years. It’s finally ready to be unleashed. Crank it. It’s a humdinger. Enjoy.”
 
As they did with last year's cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road songs "You Never Give Me Your Money" and "The End," Tenacious D is releasing a charity-benefiting 7" vinyl single for "The Who Medley," with proceeds going to Everytown for Gun Safety. You can order the single from the band's official web store.
