  In May 1978, The Who performed "Won't Get Fooled Again" at Shepperton Studios, which marked a significant moment in their career as it featured their original drummer, Keith Moon, who would pass away less than three months later. This performance was part of the filming for "The Kids Are Alright," a documentary chronicling the band's history. Prior to this live recording, The Who had released their 1975 album "The Who by Numbers," which showcased a more reflective lyrical approach and a shift in their musical style. By this time, the band was navigating the complexities of fame and the pressures of the rock lifestyle, particularly following the impact of Moon’s notorious antics. This particular scene was not just a memorable performance but also served as a poignant farewell to one of rock’s most iconic drummers, emphasizing both the band's legacy and the profound loss felt by fans and fellow musicians alike.
