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 concert film features the show from the second of
their two nights at New York’s Shea Stadium and was filmed on October 13th
1982. Although a couple of tracks have appeared on compilations, this is the
first official release of the full show and features restored footage and newly
mixed sound.
