The Who - Call Me Lightning Live at Montreal Forum, Canada

Venue: Forum de Montréal Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Date: March 27, 1968

In March 1968, The Who were riding high on the wave of their burgeoning reputation as one of rock's most electrifying live acts. Just a few months prior, they'd released "The Who Sell Out," a concept album brimming with hits and quirky advertising interludes that showcased their inventive spirit. Tracks like "I Can See for Miles" were making waves on the charts, perfectly capturing the band’s knack for blending catchy melodies with rock's raw energy. During the Montreal Forum concert captured in the video "CALL ME LIGHTNING," the band's intense performance exemplified their sonic evolution—offering fans a taste of their dynamic style and the playful theatrics that defined their shows. Fun fact: "Call Me Lightning," performed that night, was initially a B-side but gained traction, showing how their live sets would often elevate lesser-known tracks into fan favorites. The high-energy atmosphere and strong setlist speak volumes about where The Who were in their career—with the world at their feet and a passionate crowd in front of them.
