The Who

**Rocking into the 80s: A New Chapter** When The Who performed at the Rainbow Theatre in London on February 3, 1981, they were navigating an interesting phase of their career. Just a year earlier, in 1980, they released *Face Dances*, which marked their first studio album since the tragic passing of drummer Keith Moon. The band was evolving, adapting to a changing music landscape while still holding onto the explosive energy that defined their sound. This live performance captures them at a time when they were experimenting with new material like "Don't Let Go The Coat” and “Sister Disco.” Interestingly, this show also highlighted their knack for extended riffs, breathing new life into classics like “Baba O’Riley.” It's moments like these that remind us why The Who's impact is timeless—consolidating their legacy while pushing the boundary of live music performance. The band's spirit? Undeniably alive and kicking in the heart of the vibrant London scene.
