The Who

In February 1981, during their live show at the Edinburgh Playhouse, The Who were firmly in the midst of their post-"Quadrophenia" era. Just a couple of years prior, they released *The Kids Are Alright*, a compilation album celebrating their early years, which served as both a refresher for fans and an introduction for newer listeners. Though they were experiencing some lineup changes and exploring different musical styles, the live recording showcases their energy and prowess as they performed classics like "Baba O'Riley" and "Substitute." This concert also reflects the band's resilience; even as they were transitioning through various stages in their careers, their commitment to compelling live performances remained unwavering. It’s fascinating to see how they continued to evolve and thrive during a time when many bands faced challenges, emphasizing their status as rock legends.
