The Who: San Diego 3/1/2007

Thirty years ago, you could have quadrupled those numbers at a performance of The Who, adding a smashed guitar, a dismantled drum set and countless shattered eardrums to the ledger. As the near-capacity ipayOne Center crowd stood to acknowledge the two rock icons at the end of a two-hour set Thursday night, the number of back-scratchers and windmills mattered little. For a couple of hours, Daltrey – celebrating his 63rd birthday – and the 61-year-old Townshend transformed the audience of mostly baby boomers back into youngsters. The years seemed to melt away from the surviving two members of The Who as the reconstituted version slammed into extended versions of "Baba O'Riley" and "My Generation"
