The Who Kicks Off Final Tour with Memorable Performance at Amerant Bank Arena
The Who recently began their final tour, The Song Is Over: The North American Farewell Tour, with a show at Florida's Amerant Bank Arena. Guitarist Pete Townshend, 80, joked that for the right price, he and frontman Roger Daltrey, 81, could be persuaded to perform at private parties. The band played a 23-song set that included the live debut of Going Mobile with Simon Townshend on lead vocals, marking the first time the song has been played at a Who concert. Townshend revealed that he would have been happier pursuing art instead of being in The Who, feeling that the band was beneath him. Despite his feelings, he acknowledged that Daltrey may not share the same perspective.
