“I’m remembering distant memories/ Recalling other names”

The WHo DVDIn 2012/2013, The Who embarked on the Quadrophenia and More Tour, performing their landmark rock opera in its entirety. This marked the 40th anniversary the release of the Who’s 1973 double-album masterpiece. The critically acclaimed and highly successful tour wrapped up at London’s Wembley Arena, with cameras recording the closing night. Filmed on July 8, 2013, Quadrophenia: Live in London features Roger, Pete and the rest of The Who in peak form.

That night, The Who delivered powerful renditions of ”The Real Me,” ”The Punk And The Godfather,” ”Doctor Jimmy” and ”Love Reign O’er Me.” And, through the use of HD screen backdrops, archival footage and today’s advanced technology in sound, the band “reunites” with deceased bandmates John Entwistle, for ”5:15,” and Keith Moon for his signature song ”Bell Boy.”

The Who also played some of their all-time greatest hits, tearing through classics like  ”Pinball Wizard,” ”Who Are You,” ”You Better You Bet,” and ”Baba O’Riley.”
