The Who

In the summer of 1972, The Who were riding high on the success of their ambitious album "Who's Next," which they had released just a year earlier. This masterpiece introduced iconic tracks like "Baba O'Riley" and "Behind Blue Eyes," songs that would come to define their sound and influence countless artists in rock music. By the time they performed at Vorst Nationaal in Brussels on August 16, 1972, the band was at a pivotal moment—having transitioned from the mod culture of the '60s to rock gods on the world stage. This live recording captures them in peak form, showcasing their explosive energy and Roger Daltrey's powerful vocals. Interestingly, The Who had also been known for their legendary live shows, often incorporating rowdy performances with the band's signature style of smashing their instruments—an act that became part of their mythos. Watching this concert, you can feel the intensity and raw passion that made their live performances a must-see experience.
