The Who - Baba O'Riley Live Performance at Outside Lands 2017 in San Francisco
Back in August 2017, The Who delivered a memorable live performance of "Baba O'Riley" at the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco. By this point in their career, the legendary rock band had recently released "Who Hits 50!", a compilation album that celebrated their five decades in the music scene. It’s both a nod to their iconic status and a reminder of their evolution from raw mod rockers in the '60s to seasoned legends. Fun fact: during this performance, Pete Townshend cleverly mentioned how their music used to dominate the radio waves, showcasing their enduring impact on rock music. Even after all these years, their energy and passion shine through, leaving fans reminiscing and new listeners utterly captivated. This gig was not just a testament to their longevity but also a celebration of their music’s lasting relevance in a world that constantly churns out new sounds. A true iconic moment in a career full of them!
