The Who play Club Nalen in Stockholm

"The Who launched straight into 'Heatwave' with a careering manic energy that ten years later would be called punk, and followed directly with 'Dancing In The Street' which built up to a fierce power-chord climax. 'Barbara Ann' featured Keith Moon's comically off-key falsetto vocals, which added to the charm and audacity of the choice of song, which remained tight and fast. The audience might have wondered why the first four songs of the set were all unavailable on Who records at this point. 'So Sad About Us' and 'Substitute' gave a more up-to-the-minute impression of The Who's sharp power pop. 'I'm A Boy' stayed close to the recording in its arrangement, and the delicate middle section was handled very skillfully by the band, with all vocal harmonies intact. The unrelenting drive of 'My Generation' brought the show to its close with a long descent into chaos and noise, with only John Entwistle's bass riffs holding the rhythm together to the bitter end."
