The Who

Back in March 1981, when The Who took the stage at Grugahalle in Essen, Germany, they were riding a wave of renewed energy, largely fueled by their latest album, "Face Dances." This album was significant as it marked the band’s first studio release since the tragic passing of drummer Keith Moon in 1978. Kenny Jones stepped into the role, which brought a fresh yet different dynamic to their sound. Performing "Behind Blue Eyes" during this live set, The Who displayed their signature mix of emotional depth and raw power, showcasing how they were evolving while still respecting their legacy. Interestingly, "Face Dances" also featured the hit single "You Better You Bet," which, along with the live performance, helped the band reach a new generation of fans. It's a fascinating chapter in their history—one that shows how The Who continued to adapt and thrive, even amidst changes.
