The Who's Performance
The Who presented their standard set at that time, which included the rock opera Tommy, as they had recently released that album and were touring in support of it. The band had just returned from a tour of the United States, where they had performed at Woodstock about two weeks earlier. Keith Moon looked depressed. They opened with "Heaven and Hell", followed by "I Can't Explain", "Fortune Teller", "Young Man Blues", and then performed the opera nearly in full, finishing up with "Summertime Blues", "My Generation" and "Shakin' All Over".

“The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
