I downloaded the above youtube clip of The Who at Rock in Rio as it may get taken down,the quality is so good.
Looks a really good gig of the few songs I seen so far ,with a typically enthousiastic South American audience.
Thanks for posting Cristiano.

Have a great time on Tuesday Cristiano, in your home town of Porto Alegre.
Seen a few youtube clips of Sao Paulo gig and looks really good.
Any Who gig is unforgettable and it will be a great musical experience.
Saw them last at Hyde Park in June 2015 with quite a few Stones fans who post on IORR including Bluzdude,gregor,paulywaul,zgubi and Beast, and they were great as usual.
Thank you very much, crawdaddy!
I remember reading about that Hyde Park gig and it looked like super fun, especially with the company of those usual IORR suspects.
I've been avoiding to know or to watch any clips because I want to be surprised but I'm sure it will be an unforgettable experience.

I'm still in complete awe and speechless, after going to the concert last night. It wasn't just a concert, it was a celebration.

Great to hear Cristiano!!!
For me seeing them last year at Desert Trip in contrast to the Stones was almost like night and day.
The Who dominated the stage, their songs, and the entire crowd - it felt like a victory parade and a celebration with everyone present in the moment...standing at attention. They were like soldiers still ready for battle, and battle it out they did...bringing so much energy and raucousness I felt spent after they were done. The Stones on the other hand were like a theatrical event - almost tribute band...actors up on stage pretending to be as great as they once were. While it was enjoyable for what it was, they really paled in comparison to The Who.
LONG LIVE THE WHO! .................and the Stones.

Hell of a set. Hard to fault anything thats in there. If I HAD to be picky, I'd prefer other things than Join Together and Eminence Front. Just never really liked those songs. I'd put You Better You Bet in that category as well but it is pretty infectious live and I'd be lying if I said it never got stuck in my head. But otherwise, looks on paper like a phenomenal show and I'm sure they lived up to it. We've only got so much time left with these types of bands. I know we all said that 5-10 years ago but at a point it does become true and inevitable and thats gotta be fast approaching, unfortunately.

I'm still speechless about this concert but after reading the review posted on the Who's website I'm knocked out. Some highlights for me:
"A night for the history books, for sure."
"From the very first moment, the night was completely electric – magic. Nothing subtle about it – this was one of the mythical nights we rarely get to see. Not just a good gig, not just a great one – an AMAZING one."
"And tonight was about that good, certainly in the top five of modern-era Who evenings."

Join Together was amazing, very good response of the crowd (myself included as this is one of my favorite Who tunes). Eminence Front not so much, there were people who didn't even know what song it was.

Eminence Front is the music for a SUV commercial. can't remember if its chevy or gmc. sure sounds like its the who recording.
