I had seen The Who a couple weeks before this in Birmingham AL and this song rocked the house. It has been many years since Dec 1982 but I believe this was the last song they played that night. The Who sent us out right.
I grew up listening to The Who. Was Wull’s (my dad) fav. I first saw them in summer 1980. General addition tickets were 9 bucks. My best friend at the time was Richard B. Him and I hitch hiked from Orangeville ON. to Cumberland Terrace downtown Toronto to get seats for ourselves and the other members of our motley crew. Attendance at CNE Stadium was over 78,000. New world record!!! I’m surprised I remember........ we smoked a lot of refer. Heheeeeee!
First, it was simulcast on the radio while pay-per-view aired it on the earliest days of cable. Then HBO broadcast the hell out of it. Then it was released on VHS. There was a CD (superior to Who's Last). My question is, is this available on DVD anywhere?
I have a region 2 DVD copy of it... For some reason the audio seems to be mixed wrong on it. They panned Pete and John to opposite sides of the stage. Strange.
Great version of this classic song
The quintessential rock song! I recall watching this concert live on TV back in '82. Great performance!

Remember that concert well ! It wasn't their only farewell tour!!Rock on!!!
Toronto rockin!!!!!!!!!!
It was broadcast on free TV in Canada and on closed circuit in the USA. I listened to it on the radio on WBCN in Boston!
Always the contrast of the energetic Roger & Pete against the laid back OX is trademark.

Love Button, Click click click click...........This takes me back , Thank You Great Post
I've always liked how Kenny Jones played this song. He couldn't play like Keith Moon so he interpreted it in his own way.
Timeless.....I don't give a shit what kind of clothes they were wearing!
