Meanwhile, Almost 32 years ago I saw The Who, and my main recollection was thinking that they were good, but would've been awesome 9-10 years earlier. And their 2010 Super Bowl appearance? Well...
All of which prompted me to look up that show from way back in 1982. With the glory of the internet, I was able to find the exact date, and even the set list. Almost. Turns out they played 2 shows in September 1982 in Landover, Maryland. September 22 and September 23. I'm pretty sure I saw them on the first night (which was Wednesday). But it's hard to remember. Other than one switch in order, the only difference between the shows was the encore.
Here's the set-list. Not quite "Live At Leeds", but it was certainly worth seeing.
- Substitute
- I Can't Explain
- Dangerous
- Sister Disco
- The Quiet One
- It's Hard
- Eminence Front
- Behind Blue Eyes
- Baba O'Riley
- I'm One
- The Punk And The Godfather
- Drowned
- A Man Is A Man
- Cry If You Want
- Who Are You
- Pinball Wizard
- See Me Feel Me
- 5.15
- Love Reign O'er Me
- Long Live Rock
- Won't Get Fooled Again
- Magic Bus (encore)
- Twist And Shout (encore)

I saw them in Baton Rouge in the early 80s. I don't remember the year, but i know it was after Keith Moon had died. I was never a huge Who fan, but I figured they were one of the "biggies" that I ought to see if I had the chance.
Looks like they played Batin Rouge 7/7/80, a couple of years before I saw them: http://www.thewholive.net/concert/index.php?GroupID=1&id=95&Jahr=1980
