The Who

By April 2017, The Who were riding a wave of nostalgia and renewed energy, celebrating over five decades in the music world. Just prior to this live recording of “Baba O’Riley” at the Manchester Arena, they had released *The Who Hits 50!* compilation in 2014 to commemorate their 50th anniversary. This compilation album featured their biggest hits and was accompanied by a massive tour, reflecting the band's longstanding legacy and mesmerizing ability to captivate audiences old and new. Interestingly, despite their age, the band delivered powerful performances, showing that their legendary status was well-deserved. The live rendition of "Baba O'Riley" encapsulates their passionate spirit, with Roger Daltrey's iconic voice still soaring and Pete Townshend’s unmistakable guitar work electrifying the venue. It’s a fantastic reminder of their profound impact on rock music and how their songs remain timeless.
