The Who

Ah, The Who—what a legendary band! So, let’s dive into the live recording of “The Who - Live in Edmonton 1973” and see where they were at in their career. By December 1973, the band had just released the monumental album *Quadrophenia* a couple of months earlier. This rock opera showcased their evolution into complex storytelling, balanced with their signature sound. It’s fascinating to see how they're mixing songs from the album like “The Real Me” and “5:15” into their live set. This era was pivotal, as The Who were not just surviving the wild '60s; they were redefining what rock could be. Furthermore, performing in a venue like the Edmonton Sundown emphasized their immense popularity, despite a few chaotic moments typical of their energetic shows. It really was a time when rock 'n' roll was beginning to bridge the gap between music and performance art, don’t you think?
