Playing this song and only this song 15 to 20 times in a row, with this sort of intensity displayed by Pete would be enough to qualify as a concert for me.

This was simulcast on CityTV and 104.5 CHUM-FM here in Toronto. My parents wouldn't let me go because I was only 13 and my brothers refused to go. So I took over our only tv and set up all the radios around the room. What I remember most about the broadcast was the pair of hosts flown in from England. They seemed to be under the influence of something. I wished that Jeanne Bekker and J.D. Roberts (John Roberts to viewers of Fox) had been hired instead of the blockheads from the UK.

My parents were not really big rock music listeners so the albums in the house were Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Kenny Rodgers, and Gordon Lightfoot. However...the local public library (South Hadley, Massachusetts) let you check out LPs. I remember grabbing Face Dances based solely on the album cover. That was my first experience with the Who. I suspect it was 1982 and I was 10. I quickly got a paper route and 200 cassettes later, I was hooked on music and live concerts. Today at 42 I still go see new bands, and to this day, when the music cooks, I get goose bumps just being there. I think this performance shows how Pete was phoning it in in the 80s, but I forgive....

Anyone who really knows The Who surely realizes how tragic this performance and tour was. They were an utter shell of the band they were up until about 1980.

I have to agree, driffter. The 1979 tour was the best post-Moon tour, as The Who played with passion and fire. This tour and a large number of the performances were quite embarrassing as long-time fan. The "Who's Last" disc is pitiful, considering "Live at Leeds" is the great live album of all-time, in my opinion. Pete's change of guitar from Gibson, while understood because of his hearing, changed his playing and sound quite noticeably.
