The Who Play ‘The Acid Queen’ Live For First Time Since 1989

On Friday, legendary rock band The Who brought their The Who Hits 50! Tour to the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. The group treated their Canadian audience to the first live rendition of one of their classic songs in more than 25 years.

Toward the end of their hits-filled set that saw founding members frontman Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend play such favorites as “Who Are You,” “My Generation,” “Squeeze Box,” “Behind Blue Eyes” and others, the band busted out “The Acid Queen.” Last performed live on November 2, 1989, Townshend handled lead vocals on the track from their fourth album, the 1969 rock opera Tommy.

The break out performance of “The Acid Queen” was captured by audience member eirarhagfyr, watch the video here:
