The Who

Let's rewind to June 18, 1967—what a pivotal moment for The Who! By this time, they had just released their groundbreaking album "The Who Sell Out" earlier in March, a concept album that cleverly parodied commercialism and featured their iconic single, "I Can See for Miles." It’s fascinating that during their set at the Monterey Pop Festival, the band was still riding high on the wave of their emerging fame. Their performance there is electric, showcasing not just their raw energy but also their innovative spirit, especially with songs like "Substitute" and "My Generation." Fun fact: this event was among the first major music festivals, setting the stage for rock history! The Who's live show was a powerful statement—serving as both a cultural touchstone and an exhilarating glimpse into their dynamic stage presence that would only skyrocket in the years to come. Just think: they were on the cusp of becoming legends, changing the very fabric of rock music!
