We have talked about The Beatles and Grand Funk Railroad’s legendary Shea performances. The Who’s show in the fall of 1982 was less legendary.
The band was on its first farewell tour and clearly in it for the money. Townsend was battling personal demons and the band members were all battling each other. The Clash opened these shows and would themselves disband a few years later.
Here are two unreleased clips from the shows. They couldn’t be any different. “I Can’t Explain” rocks hard and features a violent guitar solo:
“Athena” – then a new song from the quite-awful “It’s Hard” album was also performed. Here ‘tis in all its lifeless glory. These guys clearly hated the song, each other, and I suspect, their clothes.
