The Who
The Who Live Performance of Tattoo in Detroit
By 2008, The Who were already legendary figures in rock music, having laid down an explosive legacy that began in the 1960s. The live recording of "Tattoo" from their performance at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit on October 21, 2008, came in the wake of their 2006 studio album, "Endless Wire," which was a return to form after nearly two decades without new material from the band. It’s fascinating to note that during this period, the group was not only promoting this newest album but also celebrating their extensive catalog and history, making every live show a mix of nostalgia and fresh excitement. Did you know that "Tattoo" originally appeared on their 1969 album "The Who Sell Out"? It’s incredible how their music has bridged generations, with songs that still resonate with audiences today. This performance captures that enduring energy, mixing classic rock spirit with the seasoned prowess of a band that knows how to engage a crowd.
