The Who
The Who Live at nia Birmingham Performing in 2014
In July 2014, The Who delivered an electrifying performance at the NIA in Birmingham, a notable entry in their long legacy. Just prior to this show, they had released “Quadrophenia: Live in London” in 2013, a celebration of their seminal double album from the '70s. This live recording not only showcased their timeless hits but also highlighted their ability to engage audiences, even decades after their initial rise to fame. Interestingly, this period marked the tail end of The Who's "Quadrophenia and More" tour, which was a testament to their continued relevance in the rock scene. Known for their explosive live shows and iconic anthems like "My Generation," the band emphasized classic rock energy during this performance. So, while the video may have a focus issue, the sound clearly resonates with the fervor and passion that The Who have maintained throughout their storied career.
