The Who

In February 2013, when The Who performed "Baba O'Riley" at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, they were riding the wave of their 2012 tour, which celebrated the band's 50th anniversary. Just before this recording, they released *Quadrophenia: Live in London*, a live album captured during their 2012 shows. This release was a nod to their 1973 rock opera *Quadrophenia*, showcasing their timeless ability to infuse energy and raw emotion into classic tracks. One fascinating tidbit about The Who is how they often embrace their legacy while continually reinventing their sound, exemplified in this live performance. The camaraderie between Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend is palpable, weaving through their iconic sound, reminding fans both new and old why The Who remains a cultural cornerstone in rock music. It’s a testament to their enduring legacy, vibrancy, and genuine passion for live performance.
