I look at "It's Hard" as an album that brought The Who back to a culturally relevant place after Keith Moon's unfortunate passing. Looking back these forty years I still feel the same. I wish Keith Moon were here with us now, ready to reunite with his band so we could realize that the dismissed "It's Hard" was really a band, having lived past its "I hope I die before I get old" youth, reaching middle age and feeling that it still had important things to say. Let's face it, no one else was ever Keith Moon and probably no one ever will be, but the songs that The Who put fourth in 1982 with that album were as relevant and as good as any album they'd ever released. They still had a lot to say, and I think they should have been heard more as the band they were then than the band they used to be.
Thank You, for this Who video! In 1971 my friend got us in for free at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, N.Y. (* he had a 'press pass' and a camera). The Who played very LOUD❕️I swear, they could be heard way out on Long Island. 🥁🥁 🎶🎸🎸🎶🎤🎶🫶
The Cincinnati incident was a lesson in the perils of general admission seating / standing for such superstar acts & resulted in that practice being virtually eliminated much to the ticket 🎟 brokers delight. Shameful decision by the management to carry on with the show.
Moonie's Public Announcements in England:s small villages was a stroke of comedy genius. However, informing the locals that the whole of England's immigrant population would be relocated to live in their villages is now tinged with more than a little irony...
Long live rock and long live The Who! The greatest rock band of all time!
Who forever!

Today Keith would have been diagnosed as bipolar and could have gotten the help he needed.
Unfortunately they didn't know back then.

Maybe a bit of clairvoyant comedy on that one..
@@freewheelingideasAbsolutely... Keith Moon was a man of many talents!
