From Eagle Rock Entertainment:

The Who’s 1982 tour, which was all in North America, apart from two warm-up dates at the Birmingham NEC in England, was their last to feature Kenney Jones on drums and they wouldn’t tour again until 1989. The tour promoted their recent “It’s Hard” album, which had been released in June of 1982 and the set list included a number of tracks from that album, some of which the band would only play live on this tour.

This concert film features the show from the second of their two nights at New York’s Shea Stadium and was filmed on October 13th of 1982. Although a couple of tracks have appeared on compilations, this is the first official release of the full show and features restored footage and newly mixed sound.

The release date is June 30th, 2015.

On June 22nd, 1996 – The mighty Metallica debuted at number #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart for the second time, with their sixth studio album: Load. This album spent four straight weeks on top of this chart and went on to sell five million (plus) copies in the United States. Holy head cheese! The classic Metallica band logo also changed for a more lame version, on this studio album too. That’s my Metal opinion.
