They were great. And after a NY Post review that said Pete was surly at their last show, he was charming last night.
And Zack Starkey is really good.
I think you'll enjoy it.

Surly at Jones Beach? I'd say a bit. But that's what was so much fun. I don't need Billy Fucking Joel up there smiling & playing dull music. |

Here's an excerpt from the Post review (which was titled "Baba O'Nasty).
" At Wednesday's show, the second performance on the band's first world tour in more than 20 years, Townshend came off as a grumpy old man who doesn't like the fans who adore him. The sourpuss guitarist unhappily and unnecessarily pouted his way through the 21/2-hour gig with sarcastic between-song patter that attacked his bandmate Roger Daltrey, the fans and even his own new music.
After a seemingly flawless rendition of "Baba O'Riley" that concluded with Daltrey blowing a mean blues harp, Townshend judged the rendition worthy of a "Jewish wedding." Whatever that meant, it drew a burning glare from Daltrey, and the tension in the air made drummer Zak Starkey go rigid behind his drum kit.
Later, Townshend diluted his acid with just a hint of humor, calling Daltrey "a rock 'n' roll casualty" just before the band launched the Elvis homage called "Real Good Looking Boy" that references the King's "Can't Help Falling in Love."
Then there was the introduction to "Who Are You?" in which Townshend mused about what it means to be a rock star and, in the final breaths before launching the tune, spat unexpectedly at the crowd, "Who the f - - - are you?" " |

Beautiful shots SV!!!!
Pics don't display on my work PC.
Definitely like the "stripped down" look.
Howe was Daltry's voice??? It can be weak at times, no?

Yeah, his voice is weak at times. The new stuff seemed better suited to his current lower register...and it still sounded like classic Who music.
He did nail the "Big Scream", however, much to the delight of the crowd.
