And the famous Who sound must have affected a few people, given that they have to be the loudest group going. The music absolutely vibrated the building - no wonder the group's members have suffered hearing loss over years.
A variety of lights, some looking like spaceships, illuminated the performance, which featured all the fans have come to expect from these 15-year veterans of rock 'n' roll. Lead singer Roger Daltrey twisted, grimaced and jumped; guitarist Peter Townshend gave it his almost-violent best; bassist John Entwistle stood off In his customary calmness; new drummer Kenny Jones slammed out the beat.
