Good riddance more like it.

Aren’t half of them dead?

Love The Who, but they pretty much ended when Keith Moon died.
Pete’s solo records have been much better than anything The Who have put out since ‘78.

This is the 33rd anniversary of the Rolling Stone’s “last tour”...
But Little Richard has them all beat. HE started retiring in the 1950s!

Best concert I ever saw and my favorite rock band. But past their prime like the rest of my generation.

No concert can top their 1970 Isle of Wight appearance.

Many people of my era disagree but the Who,Stones,etc,etc look and sound absolutely ridiculous on stage today...and have for years.Rock & roll is meant to be performed by those in their teens...20’s...and maybe 30’s.

I am almost certain I saw their ‘Farewell Tour’ in the eighties!

A UK tour? Is Pete not allowed to leave the country?If he was convicted it wouldn't be a case of being allowed to leave Britain...it would be that no foreign country would allow him in.

Reminds me of a joke about this store that had a “Going Out of Business” sign for as long as anyone could remember. When the owners son grew up, he went out of business for himself.

...It is thought that some new songs will feature on the tour. That will give people time to take a bathroom break.

Like Zeppelin and the Stones, great songwriters and great studio bands. Live? A resounding “no”. All consistently sloppy and disappointing live.

If people are willing to pay a fortune for tickets, who can blame them for still touring?
