" .. The Who is another S. Philly winner  "


" With the Phillies vying to win the World Series, the Eagles moving past .500 and The Who invading South Philly, the list of events was as long as it was lustrous Sunday.

And with apologies to the Abbott and Costello baseball skit, The Who weren't on first.

"There are three games being played today," guitar hero Pete Townshend acknowledged to a crowd still filing into the Wachovia Center, "and we know this is the smallest."

But the legendary rock band was definitely on, eventually winning over a full house with a 20-song set that spanned four decades of work and seven innings of Game 4 play.

The veteran tandem of singer Roger Daltrey, 64, and songwriter Townshend, 63, the only living members of the British quartet, opened the night with "I Can't Explain," leaving no microphone un-twirled, no Stratocaster guitar un-windmilled.

Classics such as "The Seeker" kept fans clapping and newer songs such as "Fragments" off the band's 2006 album, "Endless Wire," kept them scratching their heads.

"Over and over again they shout, "Get on with it,' " Townshend said playfully to and of the classic-craving crowd. "Who are you?"

With that segue, the band jumped into "Who Are You?" and followed with a stream of familiar tunes such as "Behind Blue Eyes," "Baba O'Riley," "5:15" and "My Generation."

While TV show "CSI" and its spinoffs, all of which use the band's songs as their intros, may have introduced a new audience to the band, the majority of fans seemed to come from The Who's generation and knew what to expect.

Daltrey, sporting a vest and blue eyeglasses, danced with his microphone, Townshend cursed with his mic and the band, including Townshend's brother, Simon, effectively blurred into the background.

Daltrey showed he still has the lungs to reach the high notes in "Love Reign O'er Me" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

However, the mystery -- and the country's biggest distraction -- for many was at Citizens Bank Park.

Plenty of fans wearing Phillies T-shirts were in the stands, pumping their fists and, with their other hand, text messaging for score updates.

Still, the fans couldn't help calling The Who, who perform at 8 p.m. Friday at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, back onto the stage.

Once infamous for ending nights by smashing instruments into oblivion, the twosome showed its refined side, capping the second and last encore with a stripped-down performance of "Tea and Theatre" -- and with an outstretched teacup.

"Will you have some tea at the theatre with me?" Daltrey sang quietly to the restless crowd.

Cheers to that. "

The wife and I went to Mohegan Sun, the In'jun casino in the wild woods of CT last night to see the Who.  The show was definitely down a notch from Friday in Boston.  Roger's voice was more ragged and he glided around a few parts he came at whole-heartedly in Boston.  Also, Pete was not quite as intense.  However, Zak (to me) seemed better than ever.  He may be the greatest drummer out there today (others in the running would be Watts--of course, and Bruford, maybe Mastellato).  The casino was also not quite the place for a rockshow and my seats were most of the way back and up, as opposed to the GREAT seats we had in Boston.  At least I had dancing room!

Set list
1. I Can't Explain
2. The Seeker
3. The Relay
4. Fragments
5. Who Are You
6. Behind Blue Eyes
7. Real Good Looking Boy
8. Sister Disco
9. Baba O'Riley
10. Getting in Tune
11. Eminence Front
12. 5:15
13. Love, Reign O'er Me
14. My Generation
15. Won't Get Fooled Again
Encore
16. Pinball Wizard
17. Tommy medley: Amazing Journey/Overture/Sparks
18. Tea & Theater

I think they did one more song in Boston, last night's exclusion of "Anyhow, Anyway, Anywhere" was disappointing to put it mildly....Boston tiks were $135 for 6 rows back, 6 rows up (give or take), Mohegan Sun were $135 for upper deck, 80% of the way back!  Whilst buying tiks for the the latter venue, I had chance to score lower deck or floor but balked at the $175 price.  The wife and I ended up spending that much at the Michael Jordan steakhouse before the game!

There is a very good opening act (see earlier posts).  The Who should take the stage about 70-90 minutes after what the tickets say is showtime--it was 9:00 PM in Boston, 8:40 in CT.

TomL's review:

________________________________________________________________________________
______
The Who was pure rock and roll last night in ole DC. Pete said I am glad we can spend this historic election with you. On stage at 9 sharp, no fancy stage, no whistles and bells, just a band rocking their ass off and giving it all they had. Every song was great but I really liked Getting in Tune. All in all it was a good show and I made it home to watch my Steelers beating the Redskins with 2:00 left. Had a great seat 1 section from the stage, and 16 rows up, perfect view. I get to my seat at 8:45 with beer in hand. The four people together was down one too many and I told them no problem I’ll just sit here. The wife looked like she did not get out much and had a few too many. She got up two minutes before the show started and never returned, the hubby went looking for her about three songs in and he never came back. So I had three seats to stretch those rock N roll bones. Get’s better. The other couple, the old man had a small TV with him; he watched the football game the whole concert. Never looked up once and never stood. WHY GO? Its jackass’s like that, that gives the word old a bad name. I am glad I went, even if it was by myself.  Keep on rocking boys until they plant you. Kin’s you would be proud.  Oh two couples behind me with ear plugs. WTF is this world coming too. If you get a chance go. Rock history again. 

Set list
1. I Can't Explain
2. The Seeker
3. The Relay
4. Fragments
5. Who Are You
6. Behind Blue Eyes
7. Real Good Looking Boy
8. Sister Disco
9. Baba O'Riley

THE WHO ROCK WASHINGTON "


"The election is tommorow," reported a moderator of thewho.com's forum immediately after last night's Who gig, "but The Who get every vote in Washington DC tonite! Capital of Rock n Roll."

For the first time in a LONG time, 'Won't Get Fooled Again' was swapped with 'My Generation' to end the main set. 'Naked Eye' was added to the begining of the encore of a elongated, fantastic show.

Here's the setlist:

I Can't Explain
The Seeker
Relay
Fragments
Who Are You
Behind Blue Eyes
Real Good Looking Boy
Sister Disco
Baba O'Riley
Getting In Tune
Eminence Front
5.15
Love Reign O'er Me
Won't Get Fooled Again
My Generation
Naked Eye
Pinball Wizard
Amazing Journey
Sparks
See Me/Feel Me
Tea And Theatre

The Who mini-tour heads west to California later this week, then on to Japan.  "

My Guess is that the band will soon schedule a ' make up ' date for the Mexico City Concert that was cancelled two years ago due to Roger's Health Problems  --- look for a  ' Spring 2009 ' gig and possibly some more dates in the SouthWestern United States .

Who blows would be more like it after last night...Allright maybe not that bad. But what do get when you have a lead singer who can't sing and a lead guitarist who won't play lead?....One hell of a rhythym section,that's about it.Daltry's vocal problem's are not a temporary thing. He sounded terrible last night. To make matter's worse,instead of trying to compensate for it by singing differently,he just croaked his way through it. So you think maybe Pete would try and compensate by carrying a heavier load,more extrended jamming with the good backup band. Well Pete played very nice rhythm,playing some classic riffs well. But he didn't play much lead at all. A few short solos here and there was it. I mean I appreciate Pete going all VH1 Storyteller and giving us the history of the songs. But when he sings better than Roger and sings better than he plays....well that's not what you go to a Who show for......Add on to that some phony bs from Roger about how they had the chance to do 1 show at the Staples Center next door to the Nokia or 2 shows at the smaller venue,they chose the smaller venue. Well considering the Staples Center was booked for sporting events on both days they played the Nokia. I don't think so.
