Overview

• The Oct. 1 concert at Acrisure Arena near Palm Springs capped The Song Is Over, the band’s North American farewell run.
• Townshend told the crowd, “To what we know as The Who, it’s goodbye,” adding that for large-scale touring, “it’s goodbye.”
• Roger Daltrey and Townshend closed alone with an acoustic Tea & Theatre after a penultimate performance of The Song Is Over.
• The touring lineup featured drummer Scott Devours in place of Zak Starkey, alongside Simon Townshend, Loren Gold, John Hogg, Jon Button and Katie Jacoby.
• No U.K. or European dates have been announced, with Daltrey describing U.S. touring as easier and both leaders leaving open the chance of charity shows or one-offs.
