The Who

Let’s take a little trip back in time to 1981, when The Who electrified Seattle with their live performance of “Magic Bus.” This show was part of their tour promoting the album “Face Dances,” which dropped in 1981. While “Face Dances” showcased a new chapter for the band, especially with Kenney Jones stepping in on drums after the passing of the legendary Keith Moon, the live recording from this concert captures the essence of both nostalgia and reinvention. It was a critical time for The Who, as they were balancing their rich history with fresh sounds. Fans were still buzzing from their earlier album, “The Singles,” which highlighted their classic hits. What’s fascinating about the Seattle concert is that it offered a glimpse of how they adapted their performance style and sound in a post-Moon era, delivering an electrifying energy that still resonated with long-time fans. They might have been evolving, but the passion and electricity in their music remained as potent as ever. How cool is that?
