They sounded better than I expected. I saw them live in 1980. They were pretty good back in the day.

I agree, as old as they are I thought they were good, enjoyed seeing them again. And yes there does seem to be a conservative slant to “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. I always liked that song.

Same sentiment here. I saw them in the early 90's and it was a good show. Last night was classic Who, although I quipped to the wife that they should be called "Who's Left" these days...;^). As to songwriter Pete Townshend's politics (and the bent to 'Won't Get Fooled Again'), Wikipedia says this about his politics--

In 1998 Townshend was named in a list of the biggest private financial donors to the Labour Party (UK). He refused to let Michael Moore use Won't Get Fooled Again in Fahrenheit 9/11, saying that he watched Bowling for Columbine and wasn't convinced.
