Summary ofโข The โWho Concert Review
This isโฃ a glowing review of the Who’s “the Song Isโ Over Tour,” emphasizing its potential as a final opportunityโ to see the legendaryโ band โlive. Hear’sโ a breakdown of the key points:
Overall โคImpression: The reviewer is clearly a devoted โคfan (“diehard Wholigan”) and highly impressed with the band’s performance. Despite their age, Roger โDaltrey and Pete Townshend still deliver a powerful and energeticโฃ show, proving they “still giveโ a s-.”
Highlights:
Setlist Variety: The band skillfully mixes crowd-pleasing โฃhits โwith more emotionally resonant ballads, keeping the audience engaged.
“Eminence Front”: A standout performance with Townshend’s playful, improvised lyrics.
“Myโ Generation”: The song is presented with a moving tribute to Keith Moon and John Entwistle. The reviewer reflects on โคthe song’s enduring message about youth. “You Better You Bet”: Praised for its refined and operatic qualities.
“Baba O’Riley”: Described as a transcendent experience, “bucket list material” and “pure joy.” The reviewer struggles to adequately capture its impact.
“Won’t Get Fooled Again”: A powerful closer, thoughโ ultimatelyโ overshadowed by “Baba O’Riley.”
“Love Reign O’er Me”: A deeply emotional performance showcasing Daltrey’s vocal prowess and Townshend’sโ signature guitar flourish.
Criticisms:
Missing Songs: The reviewer laments the absenceโ of several classic tracks like โ”I Can See For Miles,” “Magic Bus,” and others.
Filler Songs: “The Real Me,” “I’m One,” and “5:15” are considered less impactful and feel like filler.
Other Notable Points:
Simon Townshend’s performance: His seamless substitution for his โฃbrother on “Going Mobile” is noted.
Daltrey’s Vocals: โ The reviewer acknowledges Daltrey’s effort to maintain his vocal range despite his age.
Tourโ Meaning: โ The review stresses this tour may be the โขlast chance to see The Who performโ live.
The review concludes withโฃ strong recommendations to see the band at theirโฃ upcoming shows โin Atlantic โCity,Long Island,and New York City.
