The Who is a legendary British rock band formed in London in 1964. Known for their energetic performances and powerful sound, they have become one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music. With hits like "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard," and "Baba O'Riley," The Who has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Led by guitarist Pete Townshend and vocalist Roger Daltrey, The Who's unique blend of hard rock, pop, and artistry set them apart from their contemporaries. Their iconic live shows, complete with smashing guitars and explosive stage presence, captivated audiences around the world.
Over the years, The Who has released numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcase their musical prowess and lyrical depth. From concept albums like "Tommy" to introspective works like "Quadrophenia," their discography reflects a commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories.

The Who’s 1982 tour, which was all in North America apart from two warm-up dates at the Birmingham NEC in England, was their last to feature Kenney Jones on drums and they wouldn’t tour again until 1989. The tour promoted the recent It’s Hard album, which had been released in June 1982, and the set list included a number of tracks from that album, some of which the band would only play live on this tour.

This release features the show from the second of their two nights at New York’s Shea Stadium and was recorded on October 13th 1982. Although a couple of tracks have appeared on compilations, this is the first official release of the audio from the full show.
