Unlike the Stones, who due to their various problems, especially relating to Brian Jones, had not played live on any kind of regular basis in quite some time (probably close to two years at that point?), the Who were fresh off a series of live shows, either in the middle of a tour, or having just ended one. Even when not functioning on all cylinders, considering the material the Stones were debuting, one would think their performance would have held up against the other acts on the bill. It almost doesn't make sense that they invited along a rival capable of outperforming them to that extent. But then they did end up developing a reputation for never letting an act upstage them ever again. And when I saw them in stadiums, the sound for the opening acts, regardless of how much I liked them, sucked wildly. I don't think the Who did that to the Clash...
