I was at the show before this in Worcester, MA....David Johansen was the only opener. He played his medley of Animals' hits that was out at the time and left the stage. It was barely 10 minutes, and I'm surprised the arena made it that long. People wanted The Who and were ready to revolt. I was in the balcony & it just moved up and down and up and down so much, I thought it might crack and fall. AMAZING NIGHT!!!!
I was there also. Great show! Don't remember David Johansenn but I sure remember the Clash! They kicked ass! Loved it. The Who were in Top form. I seen them at Madison Square Garden innthe late 70's and Pete was a drunken mess! Lol...sliced his hand open, left the stage, came back all bandaged up and started doing windmills again....he landed up biting off the bandage midway through a song! Blood flying everywhere.....Now that's R&R! This show was more together and top notch. Pete's playing was the best I've seen him..... 😎👍
@@Jessica_Roth probably because people didn't forget his lame buster Poindexter persona.. or maybe it was his performance... Very sad considering he was with the legendary dolls...idk. .😕
The first night in Toronto on the 16th was a better show than the next night on PPV imho. I saw them in Philly and NJ on this tour and both Shows were awesome.
@@volpeverde6441 Dozens of directors and editors have, over the years, elected to go with the standard Daltrey-Moon-Townshend camera framing, to the exclusion of Entwistle. You can hear him, sure, but they make it seem like the sounds is coming from Pete, and that shortchanges The Ox's contribution. In their minds, Pete's windmills are more interesting than John's crazy runs.
The Clash opened up as well as David Johanssen. Clash probably were at the peak of their commercial success here with both Casbah & Should I Stay...or go both being hit songs. I was too young to see this show but my Uncle was there and liked all 3 acts and said it was a very mixed crowd. Old school Who fans, trendy newbies into whatever was popular, punkers and then the New wave-new school Clash fans. That’s what happens when you pack a bill like this and perform at a massive stadium.
You mean because of that outfit he's wearing? Watch the Toronto video from this tour, Roger's got this ridiculous "new wave" shirt on too and even Kenny has this sort of muscle shirt deal he's wearing.
Yeh Clash we’re supporting. This is when they made the videos for Combat Rock. Also Mick Jones was influenced by all the hip hop & sampling going on then which gave him the idea for Big Audio Dynamite. 🇬🇧👍🎸🎤🎼🔊🇬🇧 Legends THE WHO.
I was there I was 17... Roger had silver lame suit and gold lame the next.. It was so exciting only my 2nd time seeing them. Over 40 yts later still my boys my band. 🇬🇧 Just saw them a month ago in NYC.. 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💙💜
I'm a long time, huge Who fan and I find this era to be strange. The wild abandon is tamed, no doubt by he loss of Keith. They're almost going thru motions on stage. I love Kenney, and Face Dances is a top 5 Who album for me. But, on stage, they werent themselves on this tour. The "Stepford"Who.
I caught the "unscheduled" Milwaukee show in '82, unfortunately only a thin boot with little bass ever seems to have emerged, but the Naked Eye encore, hfs Townshend was tearing a hole in the fabric of the universe - check this out, dropping the needle here at the end of the last chorus, into the final jam: ruclips.net/video/ucBEkHBQ-5I/видео.html
I went to the Toronto show. It was supposed to be their final concert, but that retirement didn't last. I have seen them several times over the years with Moon, Jones & Sharkey as the drummer.
Saw them in 1977 at the Silverdome in Pontiac Michigan, big venue, big energy, just before the Who came on I beat up a guy wearing a planet of the apes costume walking down the steps next to my seat, he startled me and I was High as a kite...once I started hitting him crowd went nuts, lights went down Pete hit a chord , I stopped hitting the ape, all over no security, over, enjoyed the concert...
@@krimpoo oh yeah, I've had a few, one was a CP504 and a 4x12 Fanes cabinet. Wish I still had it. But I have a DR504 1x12 Fane combo. Sounds so great! ☢️☢️☢️

No......Best Band ever!!!!
The Who were damn good. Daltrey an absolutely great vocalist. Incomparable act!!!!!!
Who is the Drummer? Kenny Jones?
@@knutschmag8090 who else would it be in 82?

I was at this show. David Johansen opened followed by the Clash, then The Who. Amazing show .

Yep, remember this well. I was there!
I was at the two Shea Stadium shows. I am from Worcester. Not a Clash fan but they were awesome. Not as awesome as the Who.
Was at both. Thought we were saying goodbye to the Who. Turns out it was the Clash instead.
You just never know!
I was at the Buffalo show. Still have the ticket stub. Cool stage .
I love this song. The Who will always be the greatest band ever.
Better than U2?! WOW !!!!
@@fu6817it's not the same , Mercedes or BMW🤔
@fu6817
U2 not fit to be THE WHO'S roadies....
Wow, what a great version. They were in top form on this "last" (fortunately not) tour. 40 years ago. Incredible.
Well said 👍
The best is that they still perform.
saw them at CNE Stadium in Oct '82 were lively then
One of the best versions
My favourite who song, and even though I have seen them 20+ times live, never heard this one live.
Version fantastique au Festival de L'Isle de WHIGHT en 1970!
I was at that show I was 17 wow great night 🌙 the clash opened up for them
Hell yeah! Damn good bill! Wish I could have been there but I was only 3😅

This is brilliant and Toronto was superb
I was there! I only got to see The Who once. But, I feel lucky I did!
Axess2084 Me too 👍
Lost my buddies at the start of the show, found them 4 rows from the front mid Who. Awesome memories
Seen them nearly 70x. Love them. My fav band ever
Saw the same tour when they where in Philly.
@@tomg6149 I was there also.” The JFK Stadium WHO Philadelphia show was awesome!🇬🇧🎸
Saw the show in Los Angeles loved it.
Pete and Rog look immaculate.
Greatest band in rock and roll history
I've loved the Who for years. Love them all. I miss Keith Moon and I'm playing my Bass guitar 🎵 for John Entwistle and I love him ❤.
John was a magician on bass. The tones came out in the speed of light.
Boy could Pete write great songs!
Thanks for uploading. Great quality 👍
This concert was released on Blu-Ray about a decade ago, it's excellent. They are now in 2024 releasing the CD version (audio).
Also out on vinyl. I will be buying that!
Went to both shows...great times, great band!
The Clash were fantastic also!
Amazing! Incredible show
Was there with a few friends. The Clash was great and the who punched it out of the park! Marco ---- New Jersey back in 82
I was there!!
Great version.
I was there .last time seein them
Was there too! With David Johanson!!
Who got booed off the stage, almost. (Sorry, David. Them's the breaks.)

@@johnringoo756 Actually the Poindexter silly alter ego wasn’t till 1987. He played first, then The Clash-Who
42 years ago. Hard to believe.
Went to both shows
Good MUSIC , always stands ...
I was at this show too but it's the version 2 month's later in Toronto that's the killer one.
The first night in Toronto on the 16th was a better show than the next night on PPV imho. I saw them in Philly and NJ on this tour and both Shows were awesome.
Beautiful song Pete Daltry Keith Mesden Entwistle top top muscians
CHECK OUT TORONTO VERSION! WOW
Best band
Kenny Jones was really good with The Who. But the band is pretty laid back as compared to the early 70's.
Kenny did a great job
laid back....this gig was flat out....
start to finish....
Pete sounded wrecked/pissed/both....
TORONTO 82 REMANS THE BEST
Yes
At Toronto they made it longer because it was so short......like Roger
The San Diego show is easily found on an excellent bootleg video with perfect sound. Blows away a very perfunctory Toronto performance.
Oh, great, another "fuck John Entwistle" video.
you don't have to see/study THUNDERFINGERS....
he's just THERE in the back....BANG!
(John is why I play bass....)

Incredible they are the best, Kenny Jones was the best possible replacement for Kieth, totally different but a powerful drummer in his own right
Roger disagrees.
@@no834 Most of us do. Good bloke but... Just imagine what might have been if Phil Collins was chosen.
Their 1979 shows were awesome
Well he does well on this straight ahead rocker.
@@jimmalmstrom6593Not sure if Roger would've been willing to share lead vocals with a drummer. But Collins is a great choice.

I was there
"Punkers"?
The Clash sucks...lol
I was there and totally screwed up at 14. The Clash and David Hansen. Guy from Saturday night live
I was at that show.
The bass line . The might John.
This was Pete's "I really wish I was in the Clash" era
You mean because of that outfit he's wearing? Watch the Toronto video from this tour, Roger's got this ridiculous "new wave" shirt on too and even Kenny has this sort of muscle shirt deal he's wearing.
Clash along with David Johansen opened up on this Stadium tour for the Who

En cada cancion que ya no este el loco mooonn no era lo mismo ..
En medio renglón cambiaste de tiempo no se cuantas veces. No se entiende un c...
Tempo needs to be a little faster. But I love the Who. I note Pete's use of the Telecaster here. By 89 he was playing Strats

Kenny Jones was a great drummer, A shame he was replaced
Naked Eye is oneof my fav WHO songs..But Kenny Jones just makes this song Blah.. I saw this tour in Detroit in sept of 82' w/ eddie Money & The Clash.
The version is just too slow....makes it bleah

Try toronto dec17 82 of this one
Kenney is a damn good drummer, Moon was an overrated drunken fool....I love Keith but just be real about him for once..
Was at sept 26 show in Buffalo
Me too. Road trip.
Isn't David Johansen, aka buster Poindexter,aka lead singer of the New York Dolls?
Poignant
Is the image that we see to click on real?! It certainly doesn't appear to be a part of this video.
Is this from the Buffalo show?
Who s on drums? It’s not Kenney. Great version
It was Kenny. I was at this concert. Difficult to recognize with the hat.
Pete playing aFender Tele not the Les Paul that was played on the original
Not a Fender; you can find info online about the Schecter kit guitars Pete was using in the early 80s.
Toronto was a better performance but this is good too.
I was at this show I still have goose bumps was a killer show for sure plus the punk bands that were there all day the clash included.
Agreed
I went to the Toronto show. It was supposed to be their final concert, but that retirement didn't last. I have seen them several times over the years with Moon, Jones & Sharkey as the drummer.
saw them at the CNE grandstand great show!

Kenny was a good drummer for the Faces and for some of the Who stuff... I personally missed Keith style and groove specially in this song.
The Toronto show is still better especially Naked Eye . Imagine if they had the sound quality back then raw very raw WHO
Even Townshend admitted this gig was all wrong..Too big.
I went to Philadelphia on september 25th and that was 105,000
