The Who

In late 1976, The Who were riding a significant wave of success, especially following the release of their rock opera, *Tommy*, which had rejuvenated their career. Just before the Kilburn concert captured in the live recording of "Behind Blue Eyes," they had released *The Who by Numbers* in 1975. This album marked a more introspective phase for the band, with Pete Townshend's songwriting leaning heavily on personal themes, which resonated with fans on a deeper level. Interestingly, the Kilburn concert, a historical stop on their tour, showcased the raw energy of the band, particularly the high-octane performance of drummer Keith Moon, known for his wild antics. It's a striking moment for them as they navigated a changing musical landscape, while still being celebrated for their dynamic live shows. The video captures not just the essence of their stage presence but also the emotional depth in their music that's left an indelible mark on rock history.
