Got a big lump on my head and Kieth Moon's drumsticks out of it. Still have those drumsticks 53 years later. I was only 16 at the time. Great fun!

      "Won't Get Fooled Again" is certainly one of the best if not the very best song played live in concert. Townshend has a knack for writing music that comes across as being explosive when it's played live. Chord structure, rhythm of the music, tempo, lyrics are all intense and create an explosive act when played live in concert. The Who, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin. My favorite live acts in concert.

The sun was going down, or had just gone down and this was the first act with impactful lighting. I will never ever forget hearing Won't get Fooled Again.. It was incredibly powerful, and Roger's scream partway through was accompanied with massively powerful floodlights, blinding us. It was just incredible. Queen were amazing, but for me The Who stole the day. Unforgettable.

      @mustafawee Absolutely correct. One of the reasons that Queens' performance is considered great, aside from their talent and musicianship, is that they had been regularly playing live together through the early 80's. There's a big difference in playing these things during or around of tour and reuniting after a few years with a couple band rehearsals. The Who live on tour has seldom been matched and the reason they destroyed on The Rolling Stones' untelevised Rock and Roll Circus was they had been playing live near constantly since the mid 1960's if not earlier...

Listening to that keyboard intro echoing through the stadium like some outerworldly sound, The Who and that song could have stolen the day if Queen hadn't already done so an hour before.

He's not only 'controlling' the band and making sure they stick to the flow of the song but it was him that rescues them when they fucked up. They all turned to him when it happened and looked to him for the 'rescue', even Entwhistle. That said, in my view, the song is the best, by far, rock song ever. It has everything. And the band.....jeeeez....what a band. I must have watched it ten times....and that's just this time.

FWIW, it seemed to me that Roger totally botched the lyrics & forgot where they were in the song at 3:19 or so (*), which threw the band off, and it took Kenny Jones & Pete Townsend (**) to get the band in synch & save the song. Nevertheless, it was an amazingly powerful performance of one of greatest rocks songs ever - with some of the most profound lyrics ever to grace popular music, IMHO. 👍😎👍 (*) It was the 80s, so methinks that someone was probably a little too coked-up...lol.😁 (**) note the look Pete gives someone off stage at 3:47 ...lol...clearly Pete was exasperated with the screw-up, but forged ahead...lol. 😁

Even when we thought they wouldn't, even when it got messy. It had been several years since they had played together and I remember being out of my mind waiting to see their performance that day. For me, it gave me hope they would play together again after and maybe make new music together some day. I eventually got to take my eighteen year old daughter to see them, something I never thought possible in 1984. There are a ton of other Who fans out there who felt the same way that summer day. Kenney Jones never got enough credit for his time in the band.

    One of the finest songs ever recorded, and this version just continues to show what a phenomenal band "The Who" was.

    I love how when things fall a little off the track, the band muscles through it and still make it seem cool and rock n' roll!

    One of the best uses of an organ in a rock song.
    The overall energy of these guys was amazing.

      Not really an organ-a pre-recorded synthesizer that Pete did. Glyn Johns (producer for Who's next) said he couldn't improve on the demos that Pete gave to him.
