The Who

In October 1982, The Who was deeply entrenched in their comeback phase, and that live performance at the Rosemont Horizon truly captured the essence of their resurgence. Just a year earlier, they released the album *It's Hard*, showcasing a blend of their classic rock sound with a contemporary twist that resonated in the early '80s. Songs like “Eminence Front” and “Behind Blue Eyes,” which featured in the Rosemont set, highlighted their knack for powerful balladry and intricate arrangements. Interestingly, this concert took place during a period when the band was working through both internal dynamics and external perceptions of their music. They were redefining themselves while also grappling with the legacy of their earlier iconic hits. The energy in this live recording not only reflects their talent but also the passionate embrace from fans who were eager to witness the raw power of The Who, live and unfiltered.
