The Who

In May 1968, when The Who performed "Join Together" live at The Fillmore East, they were riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, "The Who Sell Out," released earlier that year in December 1967. This album showcased their innovative approach to rock, incorporating radio jingles and advertisements, which was a significant departure from traditional formats. The live performance at The Fillmore East is notable not only for capturing the raw energy of the band but also for being part of their early forays into the American music scene, which was pivotal for their career. By this time, The Who had established themselves as a leading force in rock, and they began to gain a substantial following in the United States. The performance exemplifies their electrifying stage presence, which contributed to their reputation as one of the greatest live bands of their era.
