OAKLAND (AP) — There were as many tie-dyed T-shirts as button-down dress shirts at the sold-out concert by The Who at the Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday night.

The well-behaved crowd of 50,000 people listened to some of their favorite songs from the last two generations, including selections from the rock opera "Tommy."

"I’ve always been into English rock ’n’ roll and it’s been one of the few groups I haven’t seen and it’s a group I had to see," said Gary Tercovich, 35, of Napa.

Despite rumors that Pete Townshend had injured his hand so bad he would not play electric guitar as wildly as he’s been known to in the past, he wowed the crowd by doing "the windmill," where he swings his arm in circles while strumming heavily. Townshend played with a cloth bandage on his right hand.

As it has been throughout the tour, gone was the guitar-smashing antics of 20 years ago.

Two generations after the release of the album "My Generation," Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle reunited for a 25th anniversary tour, their first since 1982-83’s "Farewell Tour."

The band also appeared in a one-shot reunion at Live Aid. There are 25 cities on the current tour.

Daltrey, who previously has said the group decided against making an album to be released during the tour, called the concerts a "celebration of the music we created, after all these years."

Melissa Marie Gundran, 22, started listening to The Who when she was 14. She said she is fond of music from the era of the group’s greatest hits.

"I like the ’60s and the fact they were trying to obtain peace and stuff like that," said Gundran.

The Who came together in London in 1964 and were a premiere rock band through the 1970s. Drummer Keith Moon died in 1978 and the remaining members of the band retired in 1982 after a concert in Toronto.

Who albums between 1965 and 1982 included "My Generation," "Happy Jack," "The Who Sell Out," "On Tour: Magic Bus," "Tommy," "Live at Leeds," "Who’s Next," "Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy," "Quadrophenia," "Odds and Sods," "The Who by Numbers," "Who Are You," "The Kids Are Alright," "Face Dances," and "It’s Hard."
