The Who setlist: All the songs on the iconic band's farewell tour
He was almost correct.
Daltrey and fellow Who mastermind Pete Townshend kicked off what will be the band's swan song – the aptly named The Song is Over North American Farewell Tour – at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Aug. 16.
The classic rock fans who have followed the band for decades mingled with the younger generations bred on muscular rockers including 'Pinball Wizard,' 'I Can't Explain' and durable anthem 'Won't Get Fooled Again" as The Who rolled through a 23-song set scaling their legendary 60-year career.
Joining Daltrey, 81, and Townshend, 80, onstage were longtime collaborators Simon Townshend (guitar), Jon Button (bass), Loren Gold (keyboards), Jody Linscott (percussion), John Hogg (backing vocals) and Scott Devours, who took over drum duties earlier this year following the contentious dismissal of Zak Starkey, who had played with The Who for nearly 30 years.
The 17-date tour, named for a song on The Who's classic 1971 album 'Who's Next,' is playing arenas, amphitheaters and Fenway Park in Boston (Aug. 26) and will take its final bow Sept. 28 in Las Vegas. In July, the band played the first dates of its goodbye run with a couple of shows in Italy.
Here are the songs played on The Who's North American Farewell Tour.

File Photo by Paul Treadway/UPI | License Photo Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Filmmaker Edgar Wright and actors Guy Pearce and Lou Diamond Phillips took to social media to express their grief over the Sunday death of Superman and The Limey actor Terence Stamp, who was 87. "I am deeply saddened by the passing of Terence Stamp, a British actor who was truly iconic. An East Ender that rose to such fame in Swinging Sixties London, he could rightly be called its epicentre," Wright wrote on X Sunday. "Terence's career spanned seven decades and never stopped surprising. I was fortunate enough to work with him on what became his final screen role in Last Night in Soho. Terence was kind, funny, and endlessly fascinating," he added. "I loved discussing music with him (his brother managed The Who, and he's name-checked in The Kinks' Waterloo Sunset) or reminiscing about his films, going back to his debut in Billy Budd. He spoke of his last shot in that film, describing a transcendental moment with the camera -- a sense of becoming one with the lens." Pearce, who co-starred with Stamp in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, posted: "Fairwell dear Tel. You were a true inspiration, both in & out of heels. We'll always have Kings Canyon, Kings road & F'ing ABBA. Wishing you well on your way 'Ralph'! xxxx" "Terribly saddened to hear this. We were all incredibly privileged to have worked with him on Young Guns," wrote Phillips. "He grounded all of us and truly elevated the filming experience. Such class and artistry. What a kind, beautiful, generous man. RIP." His Haunted Mansion co-star Jennifer Tilly said: "Terence Stamp was such an icon. Rip King." The BAFTA organization, which celebrates excellence in film and television, released a statement saying: "We're saddened to hear of the passing of Terence Stamp, aged 87. Well known for playing General Zod in the Superman films, Stamp was nominated for two BAFTAs in 1963 and 1995 for his work in Billy Budd and The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert."

Edgar Wright, Guy Pearce, Gale Anne Hurd, Stephen Elliott Pay Tribute to 'Truly Iconic' Terence Stamp: 'The Most Mesmerizing Eyes'
A host of Hollywood luminaries took to social media to pay tribute to British acting icon Terence Stamp, who died on Sunday at 87. Stamp was an enduring cultural icon of the Swinging '60s who first made his name with films like Billy Budd, Far From the Madding Crowd, Poor Cow and Teorema before finding later mainstream success with roles in Superman II, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Big Eyes and Last Night in Soho. More from The Hollywood Reporter Thelma Schoonmaker on Martin Scorsese's "Remarkable" Bond With Michael Powell and Using AI to Help Publish Her Late Husband's Diaries Joe Caroff, Designer of the James Bond 007 Logo, Dies at 103 Renée Zellweger Unveils Her Directorial Debut in First Interview About Hand-Drawn Animation 'They': "A Passion Project - That's What This Is" Filmmaker Edgar Wright, who worked with Stamp on his 2021 feature Last Night in Soho, wrote on X, 'Terence was kind, funny, and endlessly fascinating. I loved discussing music with him (his brother managed The Who, and he's name-checked in The Kinks' Waterloo Sunset) or reminiscing about his films, going back to his debut in Billy Budd. He spoke of his last shot in that film, describing a transcendental moment with the camera — a sense of becoming one with the lens. Decades later, while directing him, I witnessed something similar. The closer the camera moved, the more hypnotic his presence became. In close-up, his unblinking gaze locked in so powerfully that the effect was extraordinary. Terence was a true movie star: the camera loved him, and he loved it right back.' Legendary Hollywood producer Gale Anne Hurd, who worked with Stamp on 1988's Alien Nation, tweeted, 'Terence Stamp was a brilliant actor. I think he and Peter O'Toole not only had the most mesmerizing eyes … but delivered equally indelible performances.' Actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who starred with Stamp in Young Guns, wrote on X, 'Terribly saddened to hear this. We were all incredibly privileged to have worked with him on Young Guns. He grounded all of us and truly elevated the filming experience. Such class and artistry. What a kind, beautiful, generous man. RIP' On X, Stamp's The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert co-star Guy Pearce wrote, 'Fairwell dear Tel. You were a true inspiration, both in & out of heels. We'll always have Kings Canyon, Kings road & F'ing ABBA. Wishing you well on your way 'Ralph'! xxxx💕' Speaking to the Guardian, Priscilla writer-director Stephen Elliott said, 'We talked long and hard about why he'd initially said no [to the role]. It was fear. And fair enough — you have got to remember we were coming out of the HIV/Aids mess. It was a taboo subject. I looked at the work that he'd done all the way through, like the Italian years when he worked with Fellini and Pasolini, and thought: this was a man who took chances. And I think he was at absolutely the right moment in his life where he was ready for another chance. Terence admitted he was absolutely terrified to play Bernadette — he was being voted one of the best-looking men on earth and suddenly in Priscilla he was, and this is a direct quote, 'dressed up as an old dog.' But he put the pain of what he was going through into the performance, and that's what made the film.' Elliott added, 'Terence kept to himself. He was an enigma. And then he'd show up, use the eyes and turn everybody to jelly.' Below is some of the reaction to Stamp's death and notable entertainment industry people who have shared their thoughts and memories of the actor.

Why Terence Stamp was THE icon of the 60s
The actor was a defining presence in British cinema during the 1960s. When it came to casting his swinging 60s-set drama Last Night In Soho, director Edgar Wright peppered his film with actors whose fame was tied to the decade of peace and love. But of all those players – Diana Rigg and Rita Tushingham among them – it was the late Terence Stamp whose face was the most synonymous with the era. That line about "Terry and Julie" in The Kinks' 1967 masterpiece Waterloo Sunset? That's Terence and Julie Christie, they're namechecking. Meanwhile, go to any exhibition of photographs from that ultimate chronicler of the decade, David Bailey, and you'll see Stamp's portrait among them. Once dubbed 'the most beautiful man in the world", the actor would date some of the era's most beautiful women, including Jean Shrimpton, Julie Christie and Brigitte Bardot. "I was in my prime," he reflected in 2015, "but when the 1960s ended, I ended with it." As a working-class boy made good, Stamp was as much a personification of the socially liberal 1960s as his one-time flatmate Michael Caine. But Caine, who was already 27 at the dawn of the decade, was never tied to Swinging London like Stamp was. Read more: Terence Stamp dies at 87 Five years Caine's junior, he was much more a contemporary of the era's hippest names, partying with the decade's biggest rock stars (his brother Chris managed The Who and Jimi Hendrix) and being sought after its more art house filmmakers, from Joseph Losey (Modesty Blaise) to Pier Paolo Pasolini (Teorema) to Ken Loach (Poor Cow). Stamp was just 24 when he made his big screen debut as the titular Billy Budd in Peter Ustinov's widely successful historical epic. The movie won him rave reviews, plus an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor and a Most Promising Newcomer BAFTA nod, jumpstarting a career which would take in such classics as The Collector (1965) and Far from the Madding Crowd (1967). His role as an icon of the '60s would have been even stronger had he not lost the lead in one of the decade's defining films. Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up starred David Hemmings as a David Bailey-inspired hipster who finds himself accidentally photographing a murder, but it was Stamp who was originally cast, only to lose the role shortly before filming began. "I don't know why they didn't use Terence Stamp," Bailey would say in 2012. "He was less of a sissy than Hemmings, and at least he was from the East End like me." A brush with Bond Another near-miss was the character of James Bond. When Sean Connery left the role after 1967's You Only Live Twice, Stamp, quite naturally, as one of the country's most in-demand and desired actors, found himself courted by the franchise's co-producer, Harry Saltzman. "He took me out for dinner at the White Elephant in Curzon Street," the actor recalled of his brush with Bond. "He said, 'We're looking for the new 007. You're really fit and really English.' "Like most English actors, I'd have loved to be 007 because I really know how to wear a suit," Stamp said. "But I think my ideas about it put the frighteners on Harry. I didn't get a second call from him." The part likely would have been an ill fit for the actor. He was possibly too counter-cultural and too bohemian for the role of the solidly Establishment James Bond. Shortly after his meeting with Saltzman, he would work with Federico Fellini on the arthouse horror Spirits of the Dead and was introduced by the director to the Indian philosopher Krishnamurti, ending up walking the classic hippie trail — practising yoga, going vegetarian and living on an ashram. "Kneel before Zod" The flipside of being the embodiment of an era, however, is that you're often out of favour once that decade passes. And so it was with Terence Stamp as the '60s drew to a close, when at the age of just 32, he found himself considered a has-been. "I remember my agent telling me: 'They are all looking for a young Terence Stamp,'" he said years later. "And I thought: 'I am young.' I couldn't believe it. It was tough to wake up in the morning, and the phone not ringing. I thought: this can't be happening now, it's only just started. The day-to-day thing was awful, and I couldn't live with it. So I bought a round-the-world ticket and left.' Stamp was long past his commercial peak when he was offered the role of General Zod in Superman: The Movie (1978) and its 1980 sequel Superman II. However, the part of the Man of Steel's Kryptonian nemesis would prove one of his most popular, and kickstarted a renaissance that included roles in such movies as The Hit (1994) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994). Then, in 1999, Steven Soderbergh cast him as an ageing British hit-man in The Limey, which traded off Stamp's pretty boy past by including clips of the actor from the 1967 film Poor Cow, used as flashbacks to the character's youth. There may have been successes in the '70s and beyond, but it's that golden run of movies in the 1960s for which Terence Stamp will be forever remembered. As a working-class lad from the East End who became one of the most popular and bankable stars of that decade, he represented the era like no other actor. He was the poster boy not just of Swinging London but of a new social mobility, and for that, his place in our cultural history is guaranteed.
