Indicates that rock and roll will continue without expiration date
Are you older to play rock and roll? Apparently, who, who, and who the concert of the past week at Royal Albert Hall in London is. Two core members of the group, the 81-year-old lead singer Roger Daltrey, and soon introduced the lead by 80-year-old songwriter and guitarist Pete Townsend.
Unlike other “senior” musicians and groups like Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, they have touring machines that are well-oiled around them, but this is a one-off (well, there was another concert two days ago) for a respected British charity. Teenage Cancer Trust.
And it had more than a share of “bumps.”
guess what? These guys can still sway 60 years after their first top 10 hit, if they’re softened a little by little by age.

Daltrey had some of his memorable hand microphone air throws. Okay, instead of throwing the microphones 30 feet vertically, they lay down for more than 10 minutes.
And Townsend, yes, he did it Windmill guitar stroke movement. I counted eight consecutive times, but most of the time it seemed like one or two at a time.
Despite past problems and surgeries, nothing was softened about Daltrey’s voice. It was still sailing over the rafters with various songs. The high notes on the song “Love Reign O’er Me” were made with the huge hit bomb.
And Townsend’s guitar licks were always able to stand up to Clapton’s attitude. (The latter is 80 years old, by the way.) Unique, stylish, and has no flavours.
Who (using a good backing band) performed a very early stage outstanding. Particularly ironic: “My generation.” (Keyline: “I hope I die before I get older.” Well.
A rock opera about a deaf, stupid, blind pinball wizard, Tommy has gained a bit of gloss, perhaps due to Daltrey’s recent approval that his vision is beginning to progress (with his hearing).

The follow-up, the Urban Rock Opera Quadrophenia, will be dealt with deeper dives and may plug in the ballet version running in London later this year. It’s never over.
However, many people have been treated perfectly with their best album, the next album. From “Bargain” to “Baba O’Reilly”, from “Behind your blue eyes” to “Don’t be fooled again.”
The synthesizer parts may have been pre-recorded. . . But it’s strong Daltrey-Townshend The duet of the key “blue eyes” line was completely said:
“And if I swallow evil, put your fingers in your throat, and if I am trembling, give me a blanket.

So. . . “Rises” mentioned earlier: Townshend admitted to having had knee representative surgery a month ago. Except for a few cries (“I’m in pain”, “I can’t breathe”), he seemed to be walking around it. In fact, he sat it half the song.
And Daltray’s earpiece (which helps him continue to “adjust” despite its uneven hearing) performed all night. At one point he stopped the whole band. “I’m not listening to who,” he said in a bad mood, “I sound like I’m listening to troggs,” referring to British pop bands from the 60s. Townshend said aside.
In fact, the two, known to have had ups and downs over the years, often resemble strange couples, snapping at each other from time to time, but also warming up to each other. . . And the audience.
Townsend (not necessarily known for his bedside manners) is grateful to the Royal Albert Hall crowd of over 5,000 people for sticking with them all these years and calling WHO “old man pretending to be young.”
I have to admit that the demographics of the crowd were on the upper hand, which I have to admit. But enough sons and daughters were present and entered it to give at least one hope for the present, if not the future.

Because we really see them say tail-end performance of the second generation lock and roller. After Little Richard and Elvis’ Chuck, the Beatles, Stones and Dylan came. . . And yes, who?
So it’s more than just fun. It is an honor to say these final farewells.
With their punches followed by hits, who is you, WHO Townsend, who performed the song, said they had never performed at a concert before. As recorded 54 years ago, it’s incredible. amidst high critical acclaim.
It was called “The Song Is Over” (from the Who’s Next album), and it was nothing but extraordinary. And it’s appropriate.

Just like Townshend has gone through the riffs and lines. And Daltrey was literally completely depressed, supported by a standing microphone.
“The song is over, the song is over. It’s pure and easy, it’s pure and easy to play, just like you’re exhaling.”
However, it gets an exception. The song, hopefully, isn’t “over.” . . still.
