The Who
The Who and The Clash Live Performance at Rich Stadium
In July 1982, The Who took the stage at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, marking a pivotal moment during their farewell tour. This show followed the release of their album *It's Hard* in 1982, which showcased a mix of rock anthems and introspective ballads. Interestingly, *It's Hard* faced mixed reviews but still resonated with fans—proving that the band’s signature sound remained impactful. Kenney Jones, who was drumming for The Who at that time, reflected warmly on this performance, highlighting its significance within the context of their career. What’s captivating about this concert is that it represented not just a farewell but also a celebration of a legacy—a legacy that would see them return to the stage again in the years to come. It’s fascinating to think how a band, so steeped in transformative musical history, could have an emotional farewell yet still leave a door ajar for the future, isn’t it?
