Since emerging in the mid-1960s as a new and incendiary force in rock n’ roll, The Who have played more than 2,000 gigs and established themselves as one of the top three greatest rock legacies in music history. They have appeared at Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Glastonbury (twice), Hyde Park (four times), The Isle of Wight (three times), the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, Desert Trip, Shea Stadium, The Superbowl half-time show and Live Aid – to name but a very few.
