The Who: Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend Still Rock!

Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend of The Who showed the world they’ve still got what it last night at the Superbowl!

The Who was the featured halftime show, without gimmicks or lip-syncing.  Roger Daltrey’s voice still sounds fabulous as the band performed some of their hits in a mini-concert.  As a fellow baby boomer, I was happy to see Daltrey and Townsend rock the house last night!  The Los Angeles Times said that they played just like they did 30 years ago:

As he swung his trademark windmills on “Baba O’Riley,” he certainly looked the part, playing the role of a man 30 years younger.

Townshend tossed aside his acoustic for an electric, and he hopped and skipped behind his vocalist, who huffed out a harmonica solo to close “Baba O’Riley.” A brief breather arrived for a few snippets of “See Me,  Feel Me,” but then it was straight into a pyro-enhanced “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” which Daltrey ended with an exclamation point — a blood-curdling shriek.

If you didn’t see last night’s performance, watch the clip below. I thought it was awesome, how about you?
