The Who Live Performance of Pinball Wizard with False Start in The Woodlands
In May 2022, when The Who performed "Pinball Wizard" at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, they were riding the wave of their 2019 album, *WHO*. This record marked their first studio offering in over a decade, showcasing the band's ability to blend their classic sound with contemporary themes, all while keeping that unmistakable energy fans have loved for decades. Interestingly, the album features contributions from both Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, reminiscent of their collaborative spirit during their formative years. The live performance on May 8 also highlights the band's longevity and resilience, even as they faced challenges—like a false start—showing that perfection isn't always the goal in rock 'n' roll. Isn’t it fascinating how moments like these reflect an artist's journey, offering a glimpse of their imperfections amidst a legacy of legendary performances?
