This is the first time in decades that the band has toured the U.S. with an album of new songs in stores.

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 songs like "My Generation" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" ring with something more than nostalgia.

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