and I'd certainly recommend seeing them. It looks like they are doing pretty much the same set list everywhere, so you can count on a good 2 hours plus of great music. There is a "raw energy" feel to both the music and the performance from Daltrey and Townshend and they can still do it. You certainly get the feeling that they are really wanting to do it and really enjoying it as well. Not complacent or "phoned-in". There's a power to their live performance that does not translate well to recordings even though it's certainly nice to have those recordings.And the band is very tight, and not just tight in a "competent" way; they're definitely contributing to what is a great show.
More an observation than a criticism is that Daltrey's voice was just starting to strain a bit in the last 15-20 minutes, something that my son accurately pointed out to me. Certainly didn't diminish things much for me, and they just did a show last night in Detroit, so back to back may be a bit much for him. It may become more of an issue later on in the tour.
You will not be disappointed!!!!!!!!
