Who's Last is the second live album by British band The Who, recorded in 1982 during what was then billed as the band's "farewell tour".[1] Thus, this album, released in 1984, was to be the band's "last" album. Most of the album was taken from the band's 14 December show at the Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland, Ohio, which was their "last concert in the USA" (as Pete Townshend can be heard saying after "Won't Get Fooled Again") this time around. At least two other songs ("Magic Bus" and "Summertime Blues") are from the 20 October show at the Kingdome in Seattle. (The 2007 release Live from Toronto is from the same tour, it does not contain the same performances as Who's Last.)[2]

Notable by their absence from this recording, released by MCA two years after the tour, are songs from the band's recent Warner Bros. Records albums, Face Dances and It's Hard, though they played "The Quiet One" (from Face Dances) and several songs from It's Hard every night on the tour.
