The Who

In April 2015, when The Who graced the stage at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, they were riding the wave of their "The Who Hits 50!" tour, celebrating their remarkable five-decade span in rock. Prior to this lively performance, the band released "Quadrophenia Live in London" in 2014, a magnificent live album that showcased their iconic rock opera from 1973, emphasizing their timeless artistry. It was especially poignant to see the legendary Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, at 71 and 70 respectively, still exuding passion and energy that left fans buzzing. Interestingly, this performance came just a year before they announced plans for their farewell tour, making it a significant moment in their history as they reflected on their monumental journey. Who knew that a summer stage in New Orleans would be a prelude to the end of an era for rock's grass-roots legends?
