I remember watching this at the time, so this is great to see again, after all these years. I remember talking with others at school and how excited we all were to watch it
thx for the upload! I love hearing Pete's interviews from this era (any era really, but especially here during his 'darkest' days). the real treat was roger at the end, amazing.
I lived in Toronto at this point and found TO a BIG Who territory, so it's very interesting for me to relive this. 1982 was the beginning of my Who tribute band when there was no such thing as a tribute. So being in T.O taught me a lot about The Who. Thanks for uploading. Barry
Wow! hearing John answer the question about whether or not age applies and being too old to play rock and roll (starting at the 8 Minute markl and answering theoretically you can't jump around with a heart condition at 60 years old but you can still play rock n roll. 20 years before he would be found dead at 58th from cocaine-induced heart failure. that is kind of a creepy Coincidence.
This did not turn out to be their last tour, but they have not put out a decent studio album since that time. that's too bad, because I think they could have if they applied themselves. We do have 2006's Endless Wire, but it falls a bit short of It's Hard or Face Dances. they were still making some classic tracks up till 82'; yet, they have so many great ones during their 20 years reign that its still great to hear them and they still sell records and fill arenas after all these years!
@@viewerenthusiast Post-Entwistle Who recordings and performances are too depressing for me to take in (tenfold that of the post-Moon eras, in my opinion). John's absence is glaringly obvious in perhaps one of the most profound ways in a case of any/all music groups that have marched forward sans a member. There are bands that haven't even been plagued by so much as a change in vocalist, let alone a bass player. That fact alone is a great testament to how imperative Entwistle was to not only the band, but the actual instrument itself.
2019's WHO is a damn fine record with a few classic Townshend songs (the whole of side is a banger). Rather than comparing The Who to themselves, I tend to compare them to other artists of their generation - The Stones, Clapton, McCartney, etc. With that in mind I'll gladly accept The Who as presently constituted. Could also be I'm just a better fan.
"And it hopefully might be satellite'd all around the world." If he'd only added "Hopefully the feed doesn't accidentally drop out during our performance", that would've just been flat-out eerie.
"Just look at their clothes in the 60s. Heh heh!" Yeah, that was only 15 years earlier. 15 years ago, we were still subjected to the same garbage we are today."----Youre absolutely right.! Im glad someone is saying it! But, you have to remember the late 20th century mindset was incredibly interesting and incredibly reverential to how the mainstream had gone "fancy" like int he 60s....hence the 80s was all about drab, and more formal looking outfits....not celebratory flamboyancy. people took clothes and fashion very seriously. Now because people have become apathetic and cynical, fashion doesnt mean the totality it used to for them....and this lack fo reverence for fashion has actually doomed almost everything from clothing, to "popular" music, which has become a charade. This is popular music, but, the pop music we have today isnt really music. It's just a mockery of what these people were doing. It's like a buncha the monkees or boy bands. It's absolutely awful and until real thinkers get into fashion were lost. One thing is is that because everyone reacted so strongly to the 60s both in clothes and in intellectualism, it has, also, created the situation we have today.

The irony is that in the 80s gets worst, in the 60s very very decent clothes , beautiful, normal dress, normal straigh airstyles, even wedding dresses were more simple and even we can wear it today, in the 80s everybody look like a clown overexagerate the hair ,dresses i just think we go back ,besides evolution

The Who 1982: The Final Tour
The Who 2021: They haven't stopped touring.
2023 now😎
Bloody right too
Roger still goes out on his own with his own band .
Should have stopped in 1974 after the MSG gigs and certainly after Moon died IMHO.

You have to watch the movie The Kids Are Alright,with the mix of interviews and concert footage and the way the movie was done it will blow you away
John's comments @ 8:08 are sadly prophetic, although he didn't quite make it to 60.
tabbygail7 That was my very first thought when I watched this. His comment was as sad as Keith's chair on the Who Are You album cover.

Great insight Barry . Had the pleasure of seeing your band Wholigans, you guys are great cover !!

farewell tour lol 33 years later and there still touring..

kevin hughes I laugh at what he said at 13:38, cos they weree back doing it 7 Years later from then and they're still doing it Today.
kevin hughes Totally agree with you. Entwistle's obvious absence on Endless Wire gave the album a harmonic lacking that can never be replaced.

It's Hard and Face Dances weren't exactly mind blowing either. Get a clue. The band died when Moon died. Jones was not the answer.

Happy 50 years
final concert. What a laugh that is. Pete and Roger have a love hate marriage!
very cool video! thumbs up!!
The days of vhs
13:15 Roger predicted Live Aid...

----No I cannot.
Saw this in San Diego and goon security took our weed!! xx Who Are You?
How many farewell tours have they had now?!
How long do *you* need to earn a living for...?
Just the one. None since. Why?

Roger in his 80s lesbian phase
More like his weak attempt at being glam rock.
I'll be a bit kinder and say his Bruce Springsteen phase
