The Who

By July 1985, The Who had recently experienced a significant resurgence in their career. Before their iconic performance at Live Aid, the band released the studio album *It's Hard* in 1982, which marked a transitional phase. Though not as celebrated as their earlier works, it featured tracks like "You Better You Bet," capturing their sound's essence while appealing to a new generation of fans. Surprisingly, their Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium came after a lengthy hiatus, with this being one of the band's first major appearances since the late '70s. This concert was electrifying, showcasing their classic hits like "My Generation" and "Baba O'Riley," illuminating the timeless energy they brought to the stage. The performance reunited original members Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and later included drummer Kenney Jones. It also marked a powerful statement about the band's lasting impact and ability to connect emotionally with audiences, making history in the process.
