Listening to Who: Isle of Wight Fest Hits Theatres Againnew

Some musicians go a long way for spectacle — lasers, makeup and inflatable pigs have all been par for the course. The Who didn’t need any of that. By 1970, they had already perfected and moved beyond mod rock, well on their way to becoming one of rock’s greatest act.
