The Brandon Tour.
The Who was essential to the history of rock.
Imagine Mozart living to be 80, giving his last tour in 1836, when the Romantic era is already getting long in the tooth.
You did your job, mates. You can relax now.

This Guy saw The Who at Shea Stadium in October 1982.
They were calling it quits.
It was specifically billed as the Who’s Farewell Tour.
Forty-three years later...

You were at Woodstock? Maybe you met a friend of mine named Bill, he was there too.

Pete was putting better material on his solo albums than on The Who records.
Slit Skirts is a fantastic song.

I enjoyed their show at the Cotton Bowl during their 1982 farewell tour.

IIRC, there’s a YT video of a live performance of “SS” featuring Phil Collins (drums) and David Gilmore (well, you know).

His Deep End concert was amazing. Simon Phillips is a beast on drums.

I guess these tours are the only way they can still connect with a lot of fans, but I would think the fans have have ample opportunity to see them live.
The residency model seems to make a lot more sense for aging rockers. Set up a place for the people to come to them. Of course, going to London to see the Who perform isn't an easy thing to do, but still.
I hope that at this stage in their lives, they don't need the money.

Funny, considering he played Stratocasters in the late 60’s. See Monterey performance.

I visited a pal in Britain over 40 years ago. He had an SG special body he got as a souvenir from a Who concert.
