The Who

When The Who took the stage at Anaheim Stadium on March 21, 1976, they were riding high on the wave of their 1975 album *The Who by Numbers*. That album marked a bit of a turning point for the band, showcasing more vulnerable and introspective songwriting, especially from Pete Townshend. It was a fascinating juxtaposition to their explosive, high-energy live performances, where they were famously known for their chaotic rock sound and theatrical antics. During this concert, they played several tracks from that album, including "Squeeze Box," which became a fan favorite. It's also noteworthy that this performance came just a year after their iconic rock opera *Tommy*, solidifying their reputation as pioneers in the genre. The concert in Anaheim captured that perfect moment when the raw emotion of their studio work collided brilliantly with the electric energy of live rock 'n' roll, a trademark of The Who's enduring legacy.
