The Who - Behind Blue Eyes Live Performance in Kilburn, UK

Location: Kilburn, UK, United Kingdom Date: December 11, 1977

In December 1977, The Who found themselves at a pivotal moment, returning to the stage for the first time in over a year. Their live performance at Kilburn was a significant one, as it was part of a documentary titled *The Kids Are Alright*, capturing the essence of the band during a turbulent time. Before this show, they had released the album *The Who by Numbers* in 1975, which reflected a more introspective side of the band, showcasing their struggle with fame and personal demons. Interestingly, the Kilburn show was plagued with sound issues, causing Jeff Stein to shelve much of the footage for three decades, with only snippets surfacing over the years. It adds a layer of mystique to the performance, doesn’t it? The rarity of this recording makes it a fascinating piece for fans, highlighting both the band's resilience and the challenges they faced during this period.
