The Who Live at Hammersmith Odeon - Full Concert including Baba O'Riley
On December 28, 1979, The Who delivered a powerful performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, which was part of the 'Concert for Kampuchea'. At this point in their career, the band had just released *Who Are You* in 1978, an album that showcased their dynamic evolution. This live recording captured a unique moment, not only because it was a benefit concert aimed at aiding war-torn Cambodia, but also as the band was on the cusp of significant changes, including the tragic passing of drummer Keith Moon just a couple of years later. Interestingly, the setlist for this concert featured classic hits like "Baba O’Riley" and "Who Are You," reflecting their enduring status in rock music. The energy at the Hammersmith Odeon was electrifying, making this performance a memorable snapshot of an iconic band standing at the crossroads of their legacy. The raw passion and camaraderie on stage spoke to the band's incredible connection with their audience, a hallmark of their live shows.
