The Who

In November 2005, when The Who rocked Holmdale, New Jersey, they were riding high on the waves of their 2004 album, *Endless Wire*. This was their first studio album in over two decades, marking a triumphant return that was filled with fresh energy and nostalgia. During this period, The Who were diving back into the world of touring, and the live performance of "Pinball Wizard" showcases not only their enduring musicianship but also their ability to connect with audiences old and new. Fun fact: the original version of "Pinball Wizard" came from their 1969 rock opera *Tommy*, which catapulted them into superstardom. Seeing Pete Townshend deliver that iconic opening riff at the concert is like witnessing rock history in action—it’s both exhilarating and humbling. Their live performances during this era really highlight how the band has seamlessly blended their legacy with modern vigor, captivating audiences just like they did decades ago.
