  In 2005, The Who were performing at Live 8 in London, marking a significant moment in their career as they reunited for this high-profile charity event aimed at addressing global poverty. This performance occurred after their 2004 album "Then and Now," which featured re-recordings of classic hits alongside new material. By participating in Live 8, which attracted an audience of approximately 2 billion people, The Who not only showcased their enduring musical legacy but also reaffirmed their commitment to social causes. The band's performance of "Won't Get Fooled Again," a seminal anthem of defiance and resilience, resonated powerfully with the spirit of the event, highlighting their status as rock icons with a strong political and social message. The event's scale and the band's participation solidified their influence on both music and activism in the 21st century.
