The Who - Live at Tanglewood Full Concert featuring Heaven And Hell and more
In July 1970, The Who were riding high on a wave of fame and creativity. Just before their electrifying performance at Tanglewood, they had released the groundbreaking rock opera "Tommy." This album, which had made waves since its release in 1969, showcased a unique blend of storytelling and rock music, securing The Who a place in the pantheon of rock legends. During the live show at Tanglewood, the band performed several songs from "Tommy," including the exhilarating "Overture" and "It's a Boy," captivating the audience with their powerful stage presence and raw energy. An interesting fact that adds depth to this era is that they were one of the first bands to truly embrace the concept of a rock opera, where the album served as a cohesive narrative rather than just a collection of songs. This recording captures a pivotal moment in their career, highlighting both their celebrated past and their momentum heading into the 1970s.
