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 words the who and/or performance:
“With respect to wit, I learned that there was not much difference between the half and the whole.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
