Summary of⁢ The ‌Who Concert Review

This is⁣ a glowing review of the Who’s “the Song Is‍ Over Tour,” emphasizing its potential as a final opportunity‌ to see the legendary‍ band ​live. Hear’s‌ a breakdown of the key points:

Overall ⁤Impression: The reviewer is clearly a devoted ⁤fan (“diehard Wholigan”) and highly impressed with the band’s performance. Despite their age, Roger ​Daltrey and Pete Townshend still deliver a powerful and energetic⁣ show, proving they “still give‍ a s-.”

Highlights:

Setlist Variety: The band skillfully mixes crowd-pleasing ⁣hits ‍with more emotionally resonant ballads, keeping the audience engaged.
“Eminence Front”: A standout performance with Townshend’s playful, improvised lyrics.
“My‍ Generation”: The song is presented with a moving tribute to Keith Moon and John Entwistle. The reviewer reflects on ⁤the 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, though‍ ultimately​ overshadowed by “Baba O’Riley.”
“Love Reign O’er Me”: A deeply emotional performance showcasing Daltrey’s vocal prowess and Townshend’s​ signature guitar flourish.

Missing Songs: The reviewer laments the absence​ of several classic tracks like ‌”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.

Simon Townshend’s performance: His seamless substitution for his ⁣brother on “Going Mobile” is noted.
Daltrey’s Vocals: ‌ The reviewer acknowledges Daltrey’s effort to maintain his vocal range despite his age.
Tour​ Meaning: ‍ The review stresses this tour may be the ⁢last chance to see The Who perform‌ live.

The review concludes with⁣ strong recommendations to see the band at their⁣ upcoming shows ​in Atlantic ‌City,Long Island,and New York City.
