Those lucky folks who scored autographs before the show. How awesome.

[@glennstudent36]

OMG! I can't believe it! I'm in the film! I'm the one getting an autograph from Pete at the 3:50 mark exactly. I remember that night like it was yesterday.

[@JaLa248]

Roger Daltrey saying he doesn’t want to tour when he’s ‘Too old’ at 42. Interesting haha

[@haroldmessinger1]

He’s almost 80 now.😂

[@ricobowen312]

It’s all just bullshit…they love the attention.

@@ricobowen312 it's their life. They are musicians and the greatest band ever! No one beats them LIVE and I have been to hundreds of concerts!

[@ricobowen312]

@@lindadixon4341 why are you writing this to me? I didn’t say that they were not good. I just said that they love the attention of saying this will be the last tour. It was obviously all a hoax. I think you need to read my comment again, I don’t think you understood it correctly.

Awesome- thanks for the share!⚡️

as life long mets fan petes right shea stadium was a dump but it was our dump lol

[@robertkees6048]

A "farewell" tour is a pretty sketchy thing, KISS has been on their "Farewell Tour" for 32 years and counting. The Who probably should have retired in 82, I saw them in 89 where Pete played an acoustic guitar the whole night. Yeah thanks, that's what I wanted to spend my money on, Pete strumming by a campfire, joy.

[@bruinsrule1151]

Pretty sure that was when he impaled his hand with a whammy bar, can’t really blame him

[@robertkees6048]

@@bruinsrule1151 It was because the ear ringing issue, at least that's what they said at the time, it was to save his hearing. Who knows! See what I did there?

[@Kohntarkosz]

If John Entwistle could have kept his spending and bad habits in check, 82 probably would have been the last Who tour. I remember in 89, Pete actually admitted in several interviews, "The reason we're doing this is for the money". What he didn't say was WHY they were "only in it for the money" in 89, which was that John was on the verge of losing his house, because he was still living liek a rock star, living in a big mansion, and buying expensive guitars and cars, and apparently he still had a coke problem too.

[@peteanderson4395]

The 89 tour..... The Who on ice tour!!

[@robertkees6048]

@@peteanderson4395 It was a good show but not The Who, it was the New Who Review. Unfortunately I'm the age where I saw many classic bancs, but most were after their heyday after changed lineups when they reconvened. Oh well, that's life.

[@Kohntarkosz]

"I need to strike new ground". Translation: I need go off and make MOR pop music, because I'm bored with being a rocker. (or a mod, or mocker, or whichever idiot gang Pete would want to be affiliated with).
