I was there the night of the show. I remember when this song bursted out the audience cried so loud that I thought the whole arena would fall down. And what about the cry of Roger Daltrey? The cry that wakes up a generation. A man behind me was talking about Daltrey’s voice and when this cry came i told him “he really kept his voice”. That was an incredible night! I still have tears thinking about it.
I love The Who. I just watched the Isle of Wight show from 1970. Killer show. I cry as I say this. Time to hang it up, guys. I choose to remember them from 68 to 90. Daltrey with the hair and big voice, Pete doing the windmill in 75, quadraphenia, my favorite album by them in 73. I saw them in 79 here in Cleveland, 3 days after the Cincy incident. 89 , Cleve stadium. That's how I'm gonna remember this great band
The heyday of the Who was the '60s and 70's. The headliners at Glastonbury, as 'i" the newspaper pointed out, were from the same era, the equivalent of the stars from the '40s and '50s or even earlier, appearing as headliners at the 1977 Glastonbury. Is this festival now buoyed along by nostalgia for the past?
