Hope I die before I get old? Roger Daltrey, 68, and Pete Townshend, 67, have lived long enough to rethink that line, one of the signature sentiments of rock's most turbulent and relevant era.

The two founding members of The Who will offer the concert version of "Quadrophenia," the band's landmark 1973 concept album about a teen's coming-of-age struggle in the 1960s, at Orlando's Amway Center on Saturday.

"It's something we both felt we could get together on and look at it again," Townshend said of "Quadrophenia" when the band announced the tour in July. "We've been anxious to work together before we drop dead."

Is teen angst still believable coming from rock stars who are, if not knocking on heaven's door, at least on the threshold of their 70s?

"It's easy to understand," Daltrey said of the album's theme. "It's about that period of your life when you're going through adolescence and you're trying to find out who you are. … That kind of story doesn't change."

Hmm, maybe.

It could still require significant suspension of disbelief to watch a couple of old guys tell it.

So here are the Top 5 tricks to realistically turn back the clock with The Who in Orlando:
