The Who

In February 1981, when The Who delivered a stellar performance at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, they were riding the wave of their album "Face Dances," released just the year prior. This album marked a significant moment for the band, as it was the first fully recorded project featuring drummer Kenny Jones, who had joined after the tragic passing of Keith Moon in 1978. The live recording captures the essence of The Who transitioning into a new era, blending their classic rock roots with a touch of pop sensibility—showcased in tracks like "You Better You Bet." It’s fascinating to see how the band, often hailed for their energetic live shows, managed to maintain their signature sound while navigating such a pivotal shift. This concert not only reflects their resilience but also highlights their ability to evolve, proving that The Who could still pack a punch on stage even as they faced profound changes within their lineup.
