Pete Townsend during his limo ride to Shea Stadium:

Goodbye to this place [shea Stadium], I've never been here before. I mean, I'm looking out the window at it now. I don't like the look of it. I'll be glad to say goodbye to it. I'm saying goodbye to it now. Bye bye Shea Stadium. I'll never fucking see you again. I mean ... who needs it? You know, I never wanted to be a baseball player.

Well, considering they broke up at the end of the tour...

Nice to see giant Townsend stomping terrified concert-goers on the Shea infield.

Who worried in 1982 that they'd become an oldies act. Thirty-three-and-a-third years later, still at it.

I was in high school in 82. Guys I considered dorks with bad taste in music* attended these shows and all came into chemistry the next day with their IT'S HARD t-shirts on.

I was deeply conflicted by the whole thing. The dorks with their t-shirts wouldn't know TOMMY from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF yet they were all like "we rock." I was strongly anti-IT'S HARD and would have told you then the whole band sucked but jealous anyway. I would have gotten more out of going than them, and it wouldn't have been an IT'S HARD t-shirt.

*-I considered everyone to have bad taste in music back then.

The Who to Release 1982 Concert Film From Shea Stadium

As has ben pointed out by numerous people besides me here, The Who have gotten more out of less than just about any BIG band ever.
IOW: good band but a relatively small catalog for such a lengthy lifespan.
And now this collection just piles on to the number of times most of these songs have been officially released by the band.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I especially liked the early Who stuff, when they were a "Mod" band, in the mid through flower power sixties, putting out albums that were essentially singles collections. To my sense of taste, everything after Who's Next had a jump-the-shark smell to it. Only they kept on jumping sharks; a rock and roll version of Evel Knievel, always adding more things to fly the motorcycle over. I had an opportunity to attend that Shea concert and had no interest in it at all.

I was much more into bands like the Clash by this time but
I'm looking forward to seeing it and hope there are lots of
crowd and Shea footage. I spent most of The Who portion of
the show on top of the dugout.

[Guest sharpie]

The Who should have broken up after Moon died. They were never the same after that.

i saw that tour when it was in Oakland. The Clash were far better.

[RealityChuck]

The words on the chair sum it all up:



The Who were still a terrific band through Who Are You. Kenny Jones just wasn't up to following Keith.

I figured this one out, finally, by recalling your fascination with Larry Elliot's '67 Topps card.
