“I suppose, you know, it is a farewell,” says an excited one Pete Townshend In front of the public of the Arena Arena of Thousand Palms, California. Last stage of the Farewell Tour of the WHOs.

Townshend, Roger Daltrey and associates have dismissed with 23 songs, from “I Can’t Explain” and “I Can See For Miles” up to the big hits such as “Who Are You”, “Behind Blue Eyes” and the legendary “Baba O’Riley”. The WHOs then greeted the Californian audience – and therefore that of the whole world – with “Tea & Theater”, single extracted from their eleventh album, “Endless Wire” of 2006.

“For those we know like the Who is a goodbye. What will I do Roger and after? Who knows. If we resist, I’m sure that we will combine a lot of trouble. We will do something together, a little bit of everything. But for this kind of thing, it is a goodbye. And you were the last ones! “Townshend says, greeting the audience.

“Thank you so much for your support, in all these years” adds Daltrey. “It means a lot for us. In the 60s, breaking through in America was the dream of every band. E Thanks to youyou allowed us to make it. A thousand thanks!”.
