The Who

In June 1967, when The Who performed "My Generation" live at the Festival Pop de Monterrey, they were riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album, "The Who Sell Out," which had been released a few months earlier. This album, rich with innovative tracks and a concept that cleverly blended commercial parody with genuine artistry, was pivotal in establishing their identity beyond just a rock band. The live performance showcased their electrifying energy and stage presence, which would become their calling card. Interestingly, this Granada television footage captures a moment just before The Who truly exploded into global stardom, paving the way for their subsequent, iconic works. In Monterrey, with their characteristic and rebellious spirit, they truly epitomized the youthful defiance of the era, as they belted out lyrics that resonated with a generation in search of identity and freedom.
