SUNRISE, Fla. – A mere 42 years ago, The Who played what it called The Final Concert in Toronto.
That, of course, turned out to be false advertising.
But this time, it really is the end. Fini. Ciao. Au revoir.
The Who – Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend and a coterie of top flight musicians – kicked off the fittingly named The Song Is Over North American Farewell Tour at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, Aug. 16. The band will play 16 more concerts through September before Daltrey unfurls his “Won’t Get Fooled Again” bellow and Townshend windmills on his guitar during “My Generation” for the final time.
Though a few technical glitches and sound problems visibly irritated Daltrey, the pair appeared in good spirits throughout the 23-song, two-hour-ish show.
