The Who

In 2009, when The Who performed “I Can’t Explain” live at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, they were riding the wave of nostalgia while still fueling fans’ passion for rock. This performance marked a significant moment as it was their first concert in Brisbane in four decades! Just prior to this show, they had released the album “Endless Wire” in 2006, which was their first studio album in over 24 years. This album showcased a blend of their classic sound with mature, reflective themes, proving that they still had a lot to say musically. The concert also highlighted the chemistry between Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, who bristled with energy, reminding everyone why they’re legends in the rock world. It's fascinating to think about how the band had transitioned from the explosive youth of the '60s to seasoned rock mavens at this stage, embodying both power and nostalgia for audiences new and old.
