THE WHO played the final show of their American
tour and their career, last Wednesday, October 1.
The iconic band who lost original drummer Keith Moon in 1978
and bass player John Entwistle in 2002 played their last concert
in the Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms, California.
Pete Towshend: “I suppose, you know, it’s goodbye. That’s what it is.
To what we know as The Who, it’s goodbye. What Roger and I will get up
to next, who knows? If we last any longer, I’m sure we’ll get up to all kinds
of mischief.
“We’ll do stuff together, I’m sharing some stuff, all kinds of bits and
pieces. But for this kind of thing, it’s goodbye. And you were last!”
Roger Daltrey said: “Thank you so much for your support, over all the years.
It means so much to us. It was every band’s dream in the ’60s to make it in America.
And thanks to you guys, you made it happen for us. Thank you so much!”
The Who still can’t explain it after 61 years.
