    I read a comment from someone who saw Roger on this tour. He said that, before "Won't Get Fooled Again", he said that he wouldn't do the scream at the end because, at his age, it would rip his vocal chords. Instead, he made it an audience participation thing. He told the audience, "You do the scream for me."
    Authentic and honest.

      A couple of years ago I seen RD on the Rock Legends Cruise doing this song. Before 'the scream', I seen him getting psyched up to do it. Everybody watching and waiting. It was on the pool deck and I was behind the band on the next deck up. I had a view of what the band saw. He nailed it and the place went nuts. Magical moment for me to witness.

    I saw Roger just about three weeks back. I can't tell by the video if it was the show I was at, but it had to be within a day either way. He accepts his age on stage, pokes fun at it, and notes his hearing issues. He stopped a couple times as he was having some difficulty picking up the intro, but he kept at it. He's still a great performer and the voice remains pitch perfect...naturally pitch perfect. I closed my eyes as he was singing and it could have been fifty years back. The voice has not only held up, but it's as good as ever. Was very happy I went to see him. It can be hit and miss with older rockers. Not the case with Roger. Great.

      We are not complaining about the lack of live vocals. There is value in the ambience of a live concert, especially if the performers are engaging with the audience in between bits. We object to them advertising this as live music, when the musical parts are canned. They would still get people to come see them, but at a lower ticked price and in fewer numbers, if they were being honest.

    I went to the Roger Daltrey gig in Boston 2 weeks ago. It is hard to believe how great his voice is at the age of 80. Before they performed Won't Get Fooled Again, Roger explained to the audience how he's sung the infamous Daltrey Scream at the end of the song for half a century and he always woke up with a hoarse voice the next morning because of it. So in Boston, he asked the crowd to do the "Daltrey Scream" when it got to that part of the song. And it worked out great! Long live Roger Daltrey who is in my opinion the greatest rock and roll vocalist of all time. BTW, Roger mentioned that if they are still alive, there is a good chance of a new Who album and a Who tour in 2025. Time will tell.

      ​​@@1mmickkThe lead singer of the La's, Lee Mavers, deserves a special mention because he did what the Manics promised to do, make just one album and no more. He was a complete perfectionist, constantly re-tuning, he wanted original instruments, including an organ 'with 1960s dust'! Although the album didn't turn out the way he wanted (which he rightly felt betrayed by), I think they captured the sound he wanted in their fantastic single 'There She Goes'. After years away from the industry, I think they only did one 'comeback' tour in 2005, and Lee has done a couple of other surprise gigs with a new band. Always describing himself as a 'conduit' for the music (rather than a songwriter), he's a sensitive soul and a true musician.

    Roger also has the benefit of clean living. He’s said someone had to keep the lunatics in line. He is very proud of his enunciation & felt a responsibility to save his voice as it was his instrument within the band. Another singer, I believe 75?, that still sounds amazing though he admits he didn’t do the best job of taking care of voice is Justin Hayward. He does solo shows now & especially when full voice sounds incredible. Check out some of his live gigs on YT.

    I saw Roger do an interview years ago where he said “give me a bum note and a bead of sweat any day.” It’s not always about accuracy…it’s about feelings and passion. I had the great fortune to see Tony Bennett in concert when he was in his mid-80’s. No one expected him to sound the way he sounded when he was in his 30’s or 40’s. But as his voice changed, he made the wise decision not to perform too often with large orchestras, choosing a more intimate jazz trio or quartet. This allowed him to adjust his approach and actually brought greater subtlety and emotional shading to his performances. I wish some younger singers would try this earlier in their careers and not rely so much on technology to sound “perfect.”

    I had to laugh a little when I saw the title of this video because I literally was just thinking about this yesterday! A recent performance of “Behind Blue Eyes” popped up on my TH-cam homepage and I clicked on it and watched. I thought Roger Sounded really good and that it sounded like a live performance, but I’m not a musician so I wasn’t 100% sure. I thought to myself if it was live it was such a contrast to other bands like the Eagles who aren’t preforming fully live anymore! So now I have confirmation that The Who performances are still live!

He still rocked on and talked with his audience. His back up band were all good singers and talented instrumentalists. It was a really great show put on by one of my favorites. My family, much younger, enjoyed it as well. Authentic talent at 77 years of age. Here Roger is another fine example of true artistry and talent. Thank you for this.

      @@andrewhudson8966 I love Mick Jagger but he was never that gifted of a singer, compared to Plant, Daltrey, McCartney, Mercury, and many more. Jagger had swagger, and an unmistakably distinctive recognizable voice, but a limited range and flexibility. He can still carry on at 80, because he was never a screamer (like McCartney was. Daltrey knew how to sing and scream using a solid vocal technique so it wouldn’t hurt him). Mick always knew how to take care of himself and his voice. The Stones have taken two days off after each gig for years, presumably because they need the recovery time, especially Mick. That’s also why he can still do it.

    I heard recently that Roger said he’s retiring. It’s pretty hard touring when you’re 80. Plus, he said all these older artists need to get out of the way and let the new generation take over. Unfortunately, I don’t see a lot of that kind of music on the horizon. Not in the US anyway. I’ve seen Sweden has a lot of 80s style bands. I think Americans don’t appreciate them, unfortunately.

      Jon has lowered the key of some songs in his current tour with The Band Geeks. But then he was singing way higher without falsetto in 1969 than most vocalists today with falsetto. And you could tell it live because in the first few gigs last year he forgot his own lyrics.
      As for playing live, there were several sums in the Wakeman era that really needed four hands, so they used pre-corded track to cover it. For this tour, Jon asked The Band Geeks for two keyboard players, in order to do away with that necessity. Which promoted a lot of idiots saying that the band weren’t good enough to play all of Wakeman’s parts.

    I've seen the who twice in the past 12 years or so, last time when they did Quadrophenia live, with an orchestra. Roger had to take some breaks to rest his voice and there would be some Townshend solo stuff performed but when he was on stage he was great. They ended with Love Reign O-er Me, and Roger took a pretty big break to get ready for that, but when he came out he killed it, hit all those great big notes seemingly without issue. So glad I saw him perform while he still could/can.
