The Who   09/10/1979

Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ
Checksums The first of a great string of shows in Passaic, New Jersey and New York City--the Who's first American dates with Kenny Jones on drums.
This part of the band's career has not gotten the attention it deserves but the playing here is as fresh and to some degree experimental (note the improvisations above) as the band would ever be on stage. While we all maintain a passion for '76, the truth is the sets didn't vary much and relied heavily familiar material (e.g. Tommy, due in part to the release of the film).1979 brought back material from Quadrophenia and unplayed Who Are You songs like "Sister Disco and "Trick of the Light," the latter, at these '79 shows, featured John on eight-string bass and Pete on four-string bass.
