The WHO and Joan Jett put on a great show
Both bands played almost all of their hits. Joan Jett looked and sounded great. The Who's music and band sounded great. Our only gripe where we were sitting (11th row on floor) is the vocals from Roger's and Pete's mics were super loud and after 2 hours of nonstop music our ears were hurting. Overall great show but I would recommend having plugs for the last 1/2 of the show. Nationwide arena is a great venue - need more or faster bartenders at the mixed drinks bars.

Loved the Who
If you appreciate the music in the 70s, you will love the Quadrophenia concert. It brought back lots of memories. I think the pre-concert music and the warm up band did not seem to generate much excitement. But The Who sounds as good ever.

4 out of 5
Overall a very good concert. Concerts at The Joint are as much a multimedia event as a sound show and The Who had an amazing background video and slides to go with the show. They did very nice tributes to dearly departed members Keith Moon and John Entwisle. The show started with a start to finish presentation of their rock opera Quadraphenia and the they did several other songs from other albums like Who's Next. My only disappointment was that they didn't do any thing from Live at Leeds which to me is probably the best live album ever recorded. I was really hoping their encore would be either My Generation or Magic Bus

The Who Still Have It
A bucket list concert fulfilled and then some! The concert was absolutely amazing! The drummer only had 1 run-through prior to stepping up to the drums as Zak Starkey had pulled a tendon. The Long Beach drummer Scott Devours was amazing - I am sure that Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey could tell the difference but I dont think any of the audience could! It was great!
Bio
THE WHO IN CONCERT:
Rock ‘n’ roll gods The Who have always stood out from the pack with their wild onstage antics. Known for smashing guitars, swinging microphones around, jumping off amplifiers, and blowing up drum kits, the band has always represented the pinnacle of rebellious rock genius. Their larger-than-life performances are evenly matched by their huge sound, and classics like “My Generation”, “Pinball Wizard”, and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” are still played with thunderous force. For The Who Hits 50! Tour, the group is bringing their trademark monolithic grandeur and kinetic energy to stages around the world. Ticket buyers should be ready for an awe-inspiring stage show that lives up to the mythical status these legends so rightly deserve.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in 1964 around Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and (later that year) Keith Moon, The Who have always been on the vanguard of music, art, and culture. With their first single “I Can’t Explain”, the band became a staple of English Mod culture. They also developed a penchant for onstage theatrics such as smashing guitars and destroying drum kits during their sets. The group took their high-concept performances to the next level in 1969 with the release of Tommy, known as the first “rock opera”. Their next album, 1971’s Who’s Next, further established the band with another batch of classic songs like “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “Behind Blue Eyes”, and “Baba O’Reilly”. The continued to cement their status as rock gods throughout the decade, touring and releasing a steady string of hits. Throughout the '80s, '90s, and '00s The Who continued to deliver riveting live performances to stunned audiences around the world. Despite the passing of several members over the years, Daltrey and Townshend have soldiered on, delivering the critically acclaimed album The Endless Wire in 2006, their first album in 24 years.
