The Who Live Performance of 'Substitute' from Moda Center, Portland

Venue: Moda Center Location: Portland, OR, United States Date: September 24, 2015

Before hitting the stage in Portland on September 24, 2015, The Who had just celebrated their 50th anniversary with a series of compelling performances that showcased their legendary status in rock music. The band had released "Quadrophenia: Live in London" in 2014, which reignited interest in their classic album originally launched back in 1973. This live recording not only highlighted their iconic rock sound but also celebrated their enduring appeal, emphasizing their knack for poignant storytelling and theatricality. Interestingly, during the 2015 tour, The Who faced an unusual challenge. A few shows were postponed due to a band member’s health concerns, and the rescheduled performances led to the charming title of this concert—“Substitute.” Isn’t it fascinating how even rock legends like The Who have to adapt and improvise as they journey through their careers? They truly embody the spirit of resilience in music!
