That was The Who

Despite rumours of a no show and backstage bickering, The Who came and conquered. Their performance was devastating, reminding a young audience of the difference between men and boys. The set was a diverse and fluid array of old and new, and crown jewels like Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again and Who Are You are still invincible.

While Daltrey and Townshend are both bona fide rock stars with charisma to spare, Zac Starkey is also worth a mention. He makes a significant contribution to the band's wall of sound, and his presence on stage is a spooky reminder of things past. Keith Moon would be proud.
