The Who
The Who - Pinball Wizard Live at Live Aid in Philadelphia
When The Who took the stage at Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1985, for Live Aid, they were riding a wave of resurgence. Just a year earlier, they had released the album *It's Hard*, which wasn’t their most groundbreaking work but showed their resilience in an evolving musical landscape. This live performance showcased their classic hits, blending nostalgia with the energy of the moment. Intriguingly, it marked a pivotal moment for the band; despite facing lineup changes and the passing of their iconic drummer Keith Moon years earlier, their performance at such a monumental event reminded everyone of their status as rock legends. Plus, being part of a charity concert for famine relief added an emotional weight to their performance of "Pinball Wizard," reminding fans of the band's ability to unite for a greater cause while delivering electrifying musicality. Wouldn't you agree that there's something special about music bringing people together, especially during challenging times?
