The Who

On December 4, 1979, The Who delivered a powerful live performance at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, right in the thick of a pivotal moment in their career. Just before this concert, they had released the studio album *The Kids Are Alright*—a compilation that celebrated their legacy and contained new tracks as well. This return to the stage came on the heels of a tumultuous period, including the tragic Cincinnati disaster earlier that year, which Roger Daltrey referenced at the concert. That incident heavily impacted their live shows, adding emotional weight to their performances. Notably, the setlist in Buffalo highlighted classics like "Baba O'Riley" and "Substitute," showcasing the band's ability to evolve while remaining true to their roots. It’s moments like these, where history and live music intersect, that truly encapsulate The Who's enduring spirit and resilience.
