The Who Kick Off North American Tour

The Who launched their The Who Hits Back! North American tour at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida last night.

Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend were again joined by a full-scale orchestra for two of the three separate sections of the 24-song set. The middle section found the band’s two surviving members playing as part of an electric quintet, then on their own for an acoustic performance of “Won’t Get Fooled Again”.

The full setlist and a series of live videos can be seen below.

“Pete and I said we’d be back, but we didn’t think we’d have to wait two years for the privilege,” Daltrey said when announcing the 29-date tour. “It makes the chance to play even more special this time around. So many livelihoods have been impacted due to COVID, so we’re thrilled to bring everyone together – the band, the crew and the fans.
