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".

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“Having an identity at work separate from an identity at home means that the work role can help absorb some of the emotional shock of domestic distress. Even a mediocre performance at the office can help a person repair self-esteem damaged in domestic battles.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
