The Who Live in London Performing 'My Generation' - Earliest Known Concert Performance

Venue: Railway Hotel Location: Bromley, England, United Kingdom Date: March 26, 1965

In March 1965, when The Who performed "My Generation" live at the Railway Hotel in Bromley, they were on the brink of explosive fame. Just months prior, in December 1964, they released their debut album, *My Generation*, which contained the iconic title track. This was not just any album; it marked a rebellious statement that resonated deeply with the youth of the time, encapsulating the spirit of the mod movement. Interestingly, during this performance, the band was still navigating internal tensions, particularly surrounding Roger Daltrey's recent return to the lineup after being kicked out. You can almost feel the charged atmosphere—there's a palpable intensity in the air as they unleash their energetic sound. It’s a moment that not only captures their raw talent but also symbolizes a pivotal point in their rise, laying the foundation for their legendary status in rock history.
