The Who

In March 1981, The Who graced the stage at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany, delivering a thrilling performance on the popular television show "Rockpalast." This particular gig was part of their promotional tour for the album *Face Dances*, which had been released just a year earlier. It marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, as it was the first album to feature drummer Kenney Jones, following the tragic loss of the iconic Keith Moon. Fans saw this live performance as both a celebration of The Who's enduring legacy and an exploration of their new sound. The energy in the room was palpable. Surprisingly, *Face Dances* included hits like "You Better You Bet," showcasing their ability to evolve while still holding onto their classic rock roots. Watching this performance, you can’t help but feel the nostalgia and excitement—it’s a testament to how The Who continues to resonate with audiences, even in a new chapter of their story.
