Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, The Who, Birmingham NEC, 1981

In 1981 The Who played over 20 gigs across Europe, with two dates at the Birmingham NEC in England followed by two at Wembley Arena. Minus Keith, who died in 1978, the band released their first post-Moon album 'Face Dances' with Kenney Jones on drums. An interesting album cover features the members painted by many British artists. The only single to hit the top ten, in the UK, was 'You Better You Bet'.
