Presently The Who is in the midst of a two-leg, 38-stop concert tour of North America. With the seventeen-stop first leg of the tour nearly complete, fans can still plan to see the band on any of its planned 21 stops of the second part of its North American tour. The second portion of the tour starts in San Diego on September 14 and ends on November 4 in Philadelphia.<br \/>\nWith both Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, the remaining founding members of this iconic band, in their 70s, this might be one of the last times in which fans will get to experience The Who live. Fans can expect set lists that explore the bands early and hits like \u201cWho Are You,\u201d and \u201cI Can\u2019t Explain,\u201d and \u201cMy Generation\u201d that turned rock music on its ears in the 1960s and continued to experiment with form with the release of \u2018Tommy\u2019 in 1969 and \u2018Quadrophenia\u2019 in the 1973.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While they might be a little grayer and a lot older, fans should not expect either Mr. Daltrey or Mr. Townshend to \u2018act their age\u2019 on stage. Fans at all stops on the current tour have been treated to Roger\u2019s iconic vocals and looping microphone twirls while Pete displayed many of the old antics that made him one of the most recognizable performers on the planet. While fans will recognize many of the bands hits, do not expect The Who to be content with merely belting out the songs. They are among Rock\u2019and\u2019Roll\u2019s greatest innovators and continue to explore new ideas and subtle changes in meanings in the music that has placed this band on the forefront of rock for 50 years.<br \/>\nVisit Ticket Center to purchase tickets for \u2018The Who Hits 50!\u2019 and help the band celebrate 50 years of creating some of Rocks most memorable and iconic music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once known as one of the loudest rock bands in the world, The Who\u2019s 2015 tour is celebrating 50 years of one of the most&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-concerts"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25371"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25381,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25371\/revisions\/25381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
