The original The Story of The Who was a two-disc vinyl compilation released in the UK by Polydor (Select Double 2683 069) on September 24, 1976. It reached number 2 in the UK album chart.
The album was heavily promoted in the UK via TV advertising using this great commercial created by advertising agency McCann-Erickson featuring the exploding pinball machine as seen on the album cover and the distinct voice-over by the inimitable DJ, John Peel.
The Who - Live at Shea Stadium 1982 has been released on on CD and Vinyl 3/1/24
The band that recently released the box set celebrating Quadrophenia and two other Half Speed Masters continues its marketing work for the next holidays.
The Who's 1982 tour in support of the album “It's Hard” took place between September and December. It was a series of concerts held entirely in North America, except for the first two dates which took place at the NEC in Birmingham, England.
“It's Hard”, the British band's tenth studio album, was the last to have Kenney Jones on drums, who had replaced Keith Moon in 1978, and a new Who album had to wait another 24 years, until 2006 , when “Endless wire” was released (read the review here).
The Who performed at the Shea Stadium in New York on 13 October 1982 with the Clash as their support group, busy presenting their "Combat rock" on American stages (read the review here), a performance immortalized in "Live at Shea Stadium" (read the review here) published in 2008.
Now the Who will also have their “Live at Shea Stadium” which will be released on March 1st. The album will be available in 2-CD and triple vinyl formats.
The concert setlist included a number of songs from “It's Hard,” some of which were played live only on this tour. After 1982 the Who would return to tour only seven years later, in 1989.
