Classic Who's Who

The Who kicked off the US leg of their first world tour for more than 20 years this week with a two-hour set that included classic hits, a smattering of new material, and some rough edges.

Pete Townshend, 61, pumped up the capacity crowd at South Philadelphia's Wachovia Centre with his arm-twirling power-chord style while Roger Daltrey, 62, belted out the lyrics of The Who's extensive back catalogue. But they were less confident playing material from the forthcoming Endless Wire album.
