The Who

In April 1980, when The Who graced the stage at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, they were riding high on the wave of their album *The Kids Are Alright*, released a year earlier. This compilation not only highlighted their smash hits but also served as a celebration of their legacy amidst a decade that was rapidly changing. By this concert date, they had also just released *Face Dances*, which showcased a new direction for the band in sound and style. An interesting tidbit about this live recording? It's a part of their powerful resurgence post-1978, a time when the band was adjusting to life without their legendary drummer, Keith Moon. This concert captures the essence of a band still very much in their prime, blending nostalgia with fresh material, showing just how well they'd adapted and evolved, maintaining their knack for exhilarating performances that fans still cherish.
