The Who - Greatest Hits Live Broadcast Collection

Iconic is a word used lightly in modern times. The Who are the real deal. They are one of rock's greatest live bands, known for their explosive energy, theatrical performances, and sheer musical force. From their early London mod days to their stadium-filling heights, their concerts have always been a raw, commanding spectacle.

What makes The Who transcendental live is their unmatched energy, stage presence, and sheer unpredictability. Pete Townshend commands attention with his windmill guitar strumming and guitar-smashing theatrics, a signature of the band's defiant spirit. At centre stage, Roger Daltrey delivers soaring vocals while effortlessly whipping his microphone through the air. Behind the kit, Keith Moon, the loon of the drums, plays with wild, unrestrained intensity, driving the chaos with relentless force. Holding everything together is John Entwistle, the quiet one, whose intricate yet thunderous basslines ground the band's sonic onslaught.

Their live sound is a wall of power, setting new standards for rock concerts. Anthems like Pinball Wizard, My Generation, and Won't Get Fooled Again don't just play--they explode with intensity. Live Icons brings you legendary radio performances that capture the untamed brilliance of The Who at their peak.
