The Who

In late 2001, as The Who took the stage in New York City for a live recording, they had recently released their album “The Who Hits 50!” The compilation celebrates their remarkable journey through rock history, showcasing timeless classics while highlighting the band's resurgence in the early 2000s. Interestingly, this era marked a significant revival for the band, who had gone through various hiatuses and lineup changes since their heyday in the '60s and '70s. This performance captures not just their iconic sound, but also the deep connection they had rekindled with fans after decades in the spotlight. The energy of the crowd and the raw enthusiasm of Townshend and Daltrey made this live recording a memorable testament to their enduring legacy. Did you catch the way the audience erupted during “Baba O'Riley”? It’s moments like these that remind us why The Who has remained a pivotal force in rock music.
