Rock On: The Who Play the Hollywood Bowl This Weekend

ROCK ON: The Who, with Roger Daltrey, left, and Pete Townshend, play the Hollywood Bowl this weekend. The band’s new album, “Endless Wire,” is in stores.

HOT TICKET So, Who’s at the Bowl?

This is the first time in decades that the Who has toured the U.S. with an album of new songs in stores, and, like Ray Davies, their peer in the British rock pantheon, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and company have been playing a good cross-section of the new material in their recent concerts.

“Endless Wire” might not match their classic work, but its presence should freshen the proceedings and help make “My Generation,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” et al., ring with something more than nostalgia.

The Who, Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave., Hollywood, 7:30 p.m. Saturday; 7 p.m. Sunday. $56.50 to $282.50. (323) 850-2000.
