The Who

In 2002, when The Who performed "Who Are You" live at the Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts, they were navigating a poignant chapter in their history. Just a month earlier, the band had suffered the loss of their beloved bassist, John Entwistle, which cast a deep emotional shadow over the concert. This performance was their fourth live show following his passing, marking a significant moment of resilience for the group. Prior to this, they had released the album **"Endless Wire"** in 2006, which was their first studio album in 24 years, but interestingly, at this time, they were focused on reviving their classic hits, like "Who Are You." This song, a cornerstone of their repertoire, not only showcases their iconic sound but also reflects the themes of self-discovery and existential questioning that resonate throughout their work. The mix of nostalgia and grief during this concert created a powerful atmosphere, leaving audiences feeling the weight of loss while still celebrating the band’s legacy.
