The Who

In the live recording of “Behind Blue Eyes” captured at The Mann Center on September 21, 2011, The Who were performing as part of a special event celebrating the iconic rock opera *Tommy*. This concert marked a significant moment for the band, as it was the first time they played the entire *Tommy* album live—adding a rich layer of excitement for long-time fans and new listeners alike. Just prior to this performance, The Who had released their album *Endless Wire* in 2006, which saw them returning to the studio after decades, and it reignited their studio spirit. Interestingly, although the band had gone through various lineup changes over the years, the performance highlighted the enduring chemistry between founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, proving that the heart of The Who was still beating strong, resonating with both nostalgia and fervor for their classic sound. It’s a beautiful reminder that even legends can refresh their stories on stage.
