The Who Live Performance of Tommy's We're Not Gonna Take It in Houston
When The Who performed live at the Toyota Center in Houston on September 25, 2019, they were riding a wave of nostalgia that harked back to their rock opera roots. Just a year prior, they released "Who," their first studio album in over a decade. This album was a significant milestone, marking a return to form while also exploring themes of aging, loss, and the passage of time—topics that resonate deeply with their long-time fans. The band's set often included classics from their groundbreaking album "Tommy," which resonates throughout "We're Not Gonna Take It," featured in the concert recording. Interestingly, this performance also highlighted the enduring power of their music, demonstrating that even decades later, The Who’s energetic rock and poignant messages still captivate audiences. With Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend at the helm, the live show wasn't just a concert; it was a testament to their legacy—alive and kicking.
