The Who

When The Who took the stage at Live Aid on July 13, 1985, they were in a fascinating phase of their career. Just a year prior, they had released *Face Dances,* an album that showcased their evolving sound post-Pete Townshend’s songwriting era. By the time of the Live Aid concert, the band was facing an uphill battle with their legacy, grappling with personnel changes and a shifting musical landscape. Ironically, their performance at Wembley was marked by technical issues, echoing the tumultuous journey they've experienced over the years. However, it’s a testament to their resilience that they powered through, delivering their iconic energy and passion, reminding fans why they are rock legends. And let's not forget, this event raised a whopping £40 million for famine relief in Ethiopia—a remarkable blend of music and social consciousness! Who else could turn a bridge of sound into a lifeline?
