The Who

In October 1982, when The Who performed at the Rosemont Horizon, they were in the midst of their "Farewell Tour," a fitting title for a band that had already etched their status as rock legends. Just before this live recording, they released the album *It's Hard* in 1982, which showcased a blend of the band's classic sound with some new influences. Interesting tidbit: *It's Hard* was the first album to feature Kenney Jones on drums, following the tragic death of Keith Moon. The inclusion of tracks like "Eminence Front" and "You Better You Bet" in their set list reflects the band's evolution while still captivating audiences with their iconic anthems. This live performance not only celebrated their storied past but also hinted at the dynamic changes in rock music during that era. As you watch the energy spill onto the stage, you can feel just how integral The Who remained to the rock scene, even as they hinted at winding down their touring days.
