    Springtime, 1981. The weather was beautiful that day, when this song was playing on the radio in my very first Mini Cooper car, and I swear that life was absolutely perfect that very moment, in some sort of timeless joy that one can still somehow taste today. Some blessings are forever.

    The Who is one of those bands where you can tell exactly what decade it is just by how they are styled and dressed. Some bands are stuck in the same decade they broke through for their entire career, but the Who distinctly dressed and looked like they fit right into the style of every decade they performed together.

    This was my first who song. I was born in the 2000s so I didn’t know the music so well but my mom played this song all the time and now I am a big who fan! I have heard almost all of their songs! I had tickets to the moving on tour but unfortunately it got postponed. I hope roger gets better. Moving on would be my first concert. EVER!

      The addition of the orchestra seemed to make the music come alive in an even more powerful manner. I fully admit to tearing up during some songs as the renditions were so freakin' beautiful. I saw it in Toronto and I think they had difficulty selling tickets due to the Raptors going all the way and the concert being rescheduled until October of 2019. Got our tickets for only $59 each!!!
