Yikes.... I'll bet he wishes he still had Sambora there to help him through that one. Assuming his voice has held up any better. I assume Jon could sing better than that back in 1989, but the sound was so goddamned distorted at his concert, I couldn't really tell.Eat Us And Smile

In a general sense, it doesn't matter...I mean, it's not some travesty against humanity if these geezers are still wheezing along out there on the road. I suppose it gives these old rockers a purpose in life, or a reason to get up every day, or whatever.
I gotta tell you, though, in the last 15 or so years, the concerts I have been to where aging acts/artists have held up the best live have tended not to have been hard rock ones. You may well find it amusing, but the better shows I have seen since, say, 2007 or so...probably Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffett and Neil Diamond. All three of those guys had highly competent bands onstage with them, their own sound systems and sound engineers who have worked with them (for decades, in some cases) long enough so the live sound is fantastic and all the songs were played in their original, recorded keys.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Yeah, but these bands will just keep going out as long as they can and the money is there.

Yeah... '89 was "memorable" because that was the show where Pete semi-crucified himself on stage.Eat Us And Smile

Great band in their prime but everything get’s old and falls apart. Watching some of these old bands try and perform is like grandpa thinking he still can drive a car well when he pisses himself and walks around with no pants and doesn’t notice.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

You are correct 4 out of 4 is ideal. 3 parts original, 1 part inevitable is still better than 1/2. Decaying 1/2 life is just that... waste.Comment

The Who’s Roger Daltrey has announced a 2024 North American solo tour, during which the legendary singer will play “semi-acoustic” shows at intimate venues across nine dates in June.
The tour kicks off June 12th in Vienna, Virginia, and wraps up June 29th in Highland Park, Illinois. The itinerary also includes a recently announced one-off show in San Diego on May 6th. Per a press release, the rock icon will be “presenting a mostly acoustic set of Who gems, rarities, solo nuggets and other surprises with an intimate rock-based band and setting as well as answering questions from the audience.” Support will come from KT Tunstall on most shows, with Dan Bern taking her place on a couple of dates.

Please see me. I have no money.
Looks like Pete took his money and went home. Good for him. At least he knows its time to retire.Comment

Thanks Roger. You're the reason we can't have actual musicians play the Super Bowl halftime shows anymore.Eat Us And Smile

I took my son to see The Who on this tour last year and I was amazed by how good Roger sounded. As far as the show, it was kind of lame because they did 2/3 of it with an orchestra, which doesn’t really fit what The Who should be. But it also fits well for 78-year-old men. My son enjoyed it but was a bit let down since The Who should be maniacs spraying energy all over the arena. So it’s a Catch-22 for The Who. Getting old sucks.Comment

The second time, I got one of those "watch the soundcheck, autographs, dinner" deals. Then a 5th row ticket.
They were still great. No...they weren't what they were 20-40 years earlier. But they were still good.
I wanted to go to the tour you mentioned, but I couldn't get past the whole orchestra thing. I wish bands would stop doing that. It's not necessary.
(But yes, Roger's voice was better when I saw them in 1996 and 2002... I was too young to see them for the '89 reunion tour, which is still my least favorite Who tour because of all the extra musicians.)Roth Army Militia
