The Who

On July 7, 1970, The Who performed a live recording of "Heaven and Hell" at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts. This performance came shortly after the release of their landmark album, "Led Zeppelin II," which was released in October 1969, and just before "Live at Leeds," recorded in early 1970. The Who was at a pivotal point in their career, transitioning from the studio success of their earlier albums to showcasing their explosive live performances, which were becoming legendary for their energy and intensity. Notably, “Heaven and Hell” is part of the rock opera "Laluna," which The Who had been experimenting with, displaying a shift towards a more cohesive and theatrical approach in their music. The live setting at Tanglewood amplified the raw emotionality and the band's signature sound, illustrating their growing prowess as a live act and contributing to the legendary status they would achieve in the rock world.
