British rock stalwarts The Who perform for two nights at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles.
Having released Endless Wire in 2006, their first new album for 24 years, the legendary British rock band have toured extensively.
Guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend gave youth a voice in the early Sixties with the anthemic My Generation. Four years later the rock opera Tommy was hailed as genius. Townshend's brilliant elegy to the Mods, Quadrophenia, came in 1973, while ever-more spectacular stadium gigs staged throughout the decade brought the band's popularity to a peak.
In 1982, four years after the alcohol-related death of drummer Keith Moon, the band played a farewell tour. Having reformed in the Nineties, they now perform regularly, usually with drummer Zak Starkey and Pino Palladino, replacing bass player John Entwistle, who died in 2002.
