The Who kick off final US leg

The Who will kick off the third and final U.S. leg of their tour on Friday, February 23rd in Reno, Nevada at the Reno Events Center. The band will be on the road through the end of March before heading back to Europe where they will be touring through the end of July.

Roger Daltrey says that due to the tour's multiple screens on and around the stage projecting specially-made films for most of the show's songs, changing the set list from night to night is nearly impossible: "We're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place on this issue of changing songs around. Especially since as our catalogue is so huge, we're never going to please everybody. And the new show that we're working on at the moment on the road, there's more than just the music. There's the screens as well, 'cause it has to tie up with the lights. When you're on the road with the kind of show we're doing, arenas, it's like an army, everybody has to know what their thing is."

In addition to performing a handful of tracks from their current album Endless Wire, the Who play a cross section of material from throughout their career, including "I Can't Explain," "My Generation," "The Seeker," "Baba O'Riley," "Who Are You," and "You Better You Bet," as well as a medley of "Pinball Wizard," "Sparks," and "See Me, Feel Me" from Tommy.

The Who will next perform on Sunday (February 25th) in Fresno, California at the Save Mart Center.
