Saw The Who last night for the first time and I have to say it was awesome , had Row 5 on the floor and had so much fun , the band were really into it and having fun joking and laughing . here is the review from the show , I had to laugh at Bargain and Baba O'Riley being called " The Best I Ever Had " and " Teenage Wasteland " , two great songs from a classic album , get it right .

One of those must-see museum gigs, the Who returned flirty and dirty, as they have been since their first show here in ’67. “We first came to Edmonton in a bus in a snowstorm,” laughed a chatty-all-night Pete Townshend, “it was a slow process.” Ah, but ain’t life?
Rescheduled from eight months back, after Roger Daltrey’s grim dance with viral meningitis, the show ran over two hours, just a landslide of instantaneously recognizable rock monuments sticking up from the ruins.
A bellow from beyond the before, Daltrey, 72, opened up first wailing Who Are You while Townshend, 70, got some solo space-jamming in straight off. Both were spry and smiling in blue sunglasses. The Seeker followed, then the two went back and forth, discussing how it’s technically their 51st and a half year as a band on the Who Hits 50! Tour, Daltrey beaming, “One good thing: if you live, it gets better!”
About his current sex life, Townshend bantered, “I’m a bit more flexible than you. I have been known to bend.”
1965’s Kids Are Alright was next, the big band including Ringo’s son Zak Starkey keeping it tight and together.
“What’s been great is to see how all of you have rallied,” Townshend said of the city’s reaction to the expanding devastation up north, pledging to help, charity being a huge theme all night.
I Can See for Miles was next, straight into a fittingly ragged and shrieking My Generation. I mean, Daltrey’s always had a face-punch-grandpa voice, right?
Pictures of Lily led into a history lesson by Townshend, who explained, “Somebody challenged me to write a polka on the accordion — and I did!” This, of course, led to a nice Mother’s Day song, Squeezebox, a funny animation of the classic band playing on the background screen, our first hints of already-gone members John Entwhistle and madman drummer Keith Moon.

This led to a bra flung at the stage. Townshend: “I pay someone to throw one of those every night. Hey I’m Bon Jovi, throw me a brassiere!”

Daltrey dove into the beautiful, tragic, singalong, Behind Blue Eyes, then and explosive The Best I Ever Had, a nostalgia-infused Join Together and the dizzy You Better You Bet.

From Quadrophenia, 5:15 was a bit of a mess, then, in a most punk way, Daltrey and Townshend fought over what song was next.

Cussing f-bombs up and down, Townshend griped, “I thought when I got to this ripe old age I’d be treated more like Liberace!” His instrumental The Rock was played ominously in front of a whirling visual history of a televised planet Earth, smiling leaders and pointless wars, Vietnam, Lady Di, 9-11, Katrina and the Paris bombings. It could have easily ended with footage of Alberta this week.

Daltrey swooped in like some great raptor with Love Reign O’er Me, all of this truly devastating.

What a voice, man, choked me up.

The underrated ‘80s Eminence Front (look it up) made things all Miami Vice sweaty. Then, Daltrey swang his mic around dangerously and slammed tambourines as they pushed through a slideshow Tommy, climaxing in Pinball Wizard and, you got it, See Me, Feel Me.

From Manchester’s orbit, the straightforward-rock, somewhat overdressed Slydigs came out first. People keep accusing them of drinking too much water from the Oasis (the eyebrows, maybe), but it’s more like Daltery’s snarl with a nice taste of early Alice Cooper — simple, harmonic rock, even a little rolling Detroit piano. Their new single, Light the Fuse, certainly hinted at their job. Singer Dean Fairhurst dutifully dedicated one of their ballads, Catch a Fading Light, to a man they’d met in their hotel, “down from the fires.” Polite boys, too many accessories, but good show.

To wrap it up, the remnant Who unleashed Teenage Wasteland and, to a standing O, twirled and screamed out Won’t Get Fooled Again.

The tour is scheduled to end this fall in Milan, after that, well, to quote the Fourth Doctor in another 50th anniversary special, “Who knows?”

But if this is the end, you know you’re glad you saw/heard/touched/felt it.
