Consider the components — Daltry, the powerful, energetic lead vocalist; Townshend, the ever-moving, leaping master of the guitar; Entwistle, the "quiet one" who talks with his bass, and Kenny Jones pounding the skins like his predecessor Keith Moon.

Daltry belted out the majority of lead vocals, but Townshend, the mastermind of The Who did his share. Even Entwistle sang two numbers, one of his originals and "Twist and Shout" as part of the encore.

Daltry, who looks more like a young Paul Newman than a rock star, ran in place (kicking his legs backward) while singing "Who Are You" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" and he wasn't even breathing heavy. The muscular Daltry, who also ran about the stage through most of the performance, thrilled the crowd by twirling his microphone on the cord making it look like a disjointed propeller before pulling it back into his hand.

While Daltry was going through his routine, Townshend was doing his own thing, namely, air splits, leaps and his now classic pendulum arm movement while hitting chords.

Entwistle kept very much to himself and resembled a rock and roll version of Doc Severinsen with his purple silk sportcoat, white pants and white boots.

Though the band's set was not as ostentatious as the one used by the Rolling Stones, it was appropriate. The stage set spelled out the name WHO in 40-foot high letters with the bar of the H serving as the roof to the stage and the W and the O hiding the scaffolding on the right and left sides of the performing area.

The Who's sound system was similar to the one used by the Stones last year. The Who's outdoor set-up included a 110,000-watt main PA system and a 15,000-watt monitor system, which worked to perfection – no distortion and crystal clear with the exception of the reverberation heard by those on the field.

From the outset of their career, The Who have been known for walls of amplifiers and destruction of musical equipment. But, the band has calmed somewhat and Townshend didn't smash any guitars and the drums remained intact.

The Who are now some 18 to 20 years down the road from their humble beginnings and as their popularity has continued to increase so has their entourage and equipment. Their total entourage consists of about 100 people, but the amount of sound and lighting equipment utilized by The Who is monstrous.

Case in point: 11 semi trucks are needed to transport The Who's sound and lighting systems and staging equipment from show to show.

The Who is "going mobile" on its current tour of 16 cities from coast-to-coast and the tour already has been labeled as a major financial success.
