When did The Who form?
The Who began performing in London in 1964. The rock band was founded by lead vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend, along with John Entwistle and Keith Moo. Over the years, the band became known for their iconic hits "Baba O'Riley," "My Generation," "Behind the Blue Eyes," and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
"Every musician's dream in the early 60's was to make it big in the US charts. For the Who, that dream came true in 1967 and our lives were changed forever," Daltrey said in a release.
Daltrey and Townshend previously said "The Song is Over" tour will be their final tour.
"Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, eager to throw our weight behind this fond farewell to all our faithful fans, and hopefully to new ones who might jump in to see what they have been missing for the last 57 years. This tour will be about fond memories, love and laughter. Make sure you join in," Townshend added.

Terence Stamp, Luminary of 1960s British Cinema, Dies at 87
Terence Stamp, the magnetic British actor whose film roles included a naïve 18th-century merchant seaman in 'Billy Budd,' a violent 19th-century swordsman in 'Far From the Madding Crowd,' a tyrant from another planet in 'Superman' and a transgender nightclub entertainer in 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,' died on Sunday. He was 87. His family confirmed his death but did not specify where he died or the cause. Mr. Stamp was a boyish 24 when 'Billy Budd' (1962), based on Herman Melville's seafaring novel, was released. He looked into the camera with what one journalist later called his 'heartbreak blue eyes' and let his tousled blond hair fall over his forehead whenever his character was provoked — which was often, since he was being accused of murder. And he could act: The role brought Mr. Stamp an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe Award for most promising newcomer. He presented a very different image three years later, playing a dark-haired psychopath who loves butterflies but decides to move up to capturing humans in 'The Collector' (1965). As he carried a bottle of chloroform toward a beautiful art student (Samantha Eggar), those startlingly blue eyes now seemed terrifying. In The New York Herald Tribune, the critic Judith Crist called his performance 'brilliant in its gauge' of madness. He received the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival. He grew a sinister black mustache to play the sadistic Sergeant Troy, who mistreats the heroine (Julie Christie) in 'Far From the Madding Crowd' (1967), based on Thomas Hardy's novel. Reviews were mixed, but Roger Ebert praised Mr. Stamp's performance as 'suitably vile.' Looking back in 2015, a writer for The Guardian observed, 'Stamp has an animation and conviction in this role that he never equaled elsewhere.' Not long after that, Mr. Stamp largely disappeared for almost a decade. He came back as a character actor. When he made his entrance in Richard Donner's 'Superman' (1978), boldly crashing through a White House roof, audiences saw the young man who had been called the face of the '60s, now with a seriously receding hairline, devilish facial hair and a newly mature persona. His character, Zod, an alien supervillain with a burning desire to rule the world, returned in 'Superman II' (1980). Mr. Stamp had a busy career for the next half-century, perhaps most memorably in 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' (1994), with yet another new on-screen look. His character, Bernadette, a middle-aged transgender woman, wore dangly earrings, a grayish-blond pageboy, tasteful neutrals and not quite enough makeup to hide the age lines. 'I've got a kind of more developed feminine side of my nature,' he said in 2019 when asked about the role in a Reuters interview, 'so it was a chance to knowingly explore that.' 'I had to think about what it would be like to be born into the wrong body,' he added, 'and born into a body that wasn't the same as one's emotions.' Terence Henry Stamp was born on July 22, 1938, in London, one of five children of Thomas Stamp, a tugboat stoker with the Merchant Navy, and Ethel (Perrott) Stamp. In the low-income neighborhoods of the East End where the Stamps lived, expectations were low. 'When I asked for career guidance at school, they recommended bricklaying as a good, regular job,' Mr. Stamp recalled in a 2011 interview with the Irish newspaper The Sunday Business Post, 'although someone did think I might make a good Woolworths' manager.' After leaving school, Mr. Stamp worked in advertising agencies, but he secretly wanted to become an actor and began lessons at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London. 'Billy Budd' is usually referred to as his first film, but in England, 'Term of Trial,' in which he appeared as a young tough alongside Laurence Olivier and Simone Signoret, was released a month earlier. (In the United States, 'Billy Budd' opened first.) He did theater work in England but had only one Broadway experience — a disaster. He played the title role in 'Alfie!,' a play about a callous young South London bachelor, which opened in December 1964 and closed three weeks later. Shawn Levy, in his book 'Ready, Steady, Go!,' had an explanation: 'It was so dark and frank and mean and true and generally disharmonious with the optimistic, up-tempo tenor of the moment.' But moments pass. Mr. Stamp turned down the same role in the 1966 film version, and Michael Caine — who happened to be his flatmate — took it instead. It made him a star. Mr. Stamp did star in 'Modesty Blaise' (1966), as a secret agent's Cockney sidekick; Ken Loach's 'Poor Cow' (1967), as a sensitive working-class guy; and Pier Paolo Pasolini's 'Theorem' (1968), as a mysterious stranger who beds every single member of a household, including the maid. Federico Fellini directed him as a self-destructive, alcoholic actor in 'Spirits of the Dead' (1968). In 1969, Mr. Stamp moved to an ashram in India and became a swami. Some said it was because of a romantic breakup, but he professed a simpler motive: He couldn't find work. Although he was barely in his 30s, casting agents were already looking for 'a young Terence Stamp.' Around eight years later, he received a message from his agent about the 'Superman' movie. He accepted, he often said, because he wanted to work with Marlon Brando, who played Jor-El, Superman's father. Between 1978 and 2019, Mr. Stamp appeared in more than 50 films. He received particular praise for Steven Soderbergh's 'The Limey' (1999), in which he played an ex-con on the trail of a drug-trafficking record producer (Peter Fonda) as he avenges his daughter's death. He also had roles in 'Legal Eagles' (1986), 'Wall Street' (1987), 'Young Guns' (1988), 'Alien Nation' (1988), and 'Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace' (1999), as chancellor of the Galactic Republic. In 'Unfinished Song' (2012, originally 'Song for Marion'), he played a gruff pensioner with a dying wife (Vanessa Redgrave). After having been a Superman-franchise villain, Mr. Stamp was the voice of the superhero's noble Kryptonian father in the television series 'Smallville.' His final film was the horror thriller 'Last Night in Soho' (2021). A Times review called his entrance alone 'a master class in minimalist menace.' In the 1960s, Mr. Stamp had highly publicized romances with the British supermodel Jean Shrimpton and with Ms. Christie. In 2002, at age 64, he married Elizabeth O'Rourke, a 29-year-old Australian pharmacist; they divorced in 2008. Information on survivors was not immediately available. Looking back philosophically in 2017 on his life's ups and downs, Mr. Stamp told The Telegraph, 'The thing that has been constant is that from the very beginning I always seemed to be the opposite to everybody else.'

The Who's farewell tour is perfectly imperfect
SUNRISE, Fla. – A mere 42 years ago, The Who played what it called The Final Concert in Toronto. That, of course, turned out to be false advertising. But this time, it really is the end. Fini. Ciao. Au revoir. The Who – Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend and a coterie of top flight musicians – kicked off the fittingly named The Song Is Over North American Farewell Tour at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, Aug. 16. The band will play 16 more concerts through September before Daltrey unfurls his 'Won't Get Fooled Again' bellow and Townshend windmills on his guitar during 'My Generation' for the final time. Though a few technical glitches and sound problems visibly irritated Daltrey, the pair appeared in good spirits throughout the 23-song, two-hour-ish show. 'For those with deep pockets, Roger and I are available for private parties,' Townshend told the full arena following a declaration that this is truly the The Who's swan song. The Who setlist: All the songs on the iconic band's farewell tour What songs does The Who play on its farewell tour? Prior to this North American tour, named for a song on The Who's 1971 "Who's Next" album, the band played a pair of concerts in Italy in July. While they retained the obvious staples of any Who show – 'Baba O'Riley,' 'Pinball Wizard' and set opener 'I Can't Explain' among them – for this run, they also chucked a few curveballs. A pair of songs from that landmark 'Who's Next' release incited cheers from hardcore fans who haven't had many opportunities to hear 'Bargain,' its romantic message buried inside a swish of psychedelic rock, and 'Going Mobile,' a Townshend-penned song being played for the first time as The Who. Toward the end of the show, Townshend sat with an acoustic guitar while Daltrey emoted during 'Tea & Theatre,' an infrequently played cut from 2006's mini opera 'Endless Wire' that showed how dedicated the band is to mixing up its setlist for this final run. How did Roger Daltrey sound on The Who farewell tour? Given his own admissions about vocal struggles and hearing loss, it's fair to wonder if Daltrey, at 81, still possesses a modicum of the robust voice associated with one of the greatest rock singers in history. The answer would be mostly. After a raspy few opening songs, Daltrey, a silver fox in tinted glasses, a long-sleeve T-shirt and practical sneakers, found his comfort zone on 'The Seeker.' Though three band members – guitarist Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold and backing vocalist John Hogg – routinely handled the heavy lifting on the harmonies, especially during the ping-pong vocals that form the coda of 'Who Are You,' Daltrey found the notes when he needed them most. For every strained vocal, such as on 'Behind Blue Eyes,' which the band restarted after technical difficulties, there was a visceral 'See Me, Feel Me,' the insistent 'Tommy' overture that Daltrey poured his soul into. At song's end, Daltrey grinned at Townshend with a look that said, 'Somehow I got through it.' Townshend clapped Daltrey's shoulder in affirmation, a show of affection between two very different personalities who nonetheless created 60 years of memories. 'You'll never remember the perfect show,' The Who's Roger Daltrey says Throughout the show, Townshend, 80, the black-clad guitar architect, shredded riffs and nimbly raced his fingers down the fretboard. While he acknowledged his own vocal shortcomings and turned the mic over to brother Simon for 'Going Mobile,' he steered 'Eminence Front' with barked lyrics over the song's metronomic cadence. The Who was also joined by longtime collaborators Jon Button on bass, Jody Linscott on percussion, and, sliding onto the throne occupied by Zak Starkey for nearly 30 years, drummer Scott Devours. 'I have no idea who he is,' Townshend joked when introducing the band. Devours is a veteran of Daltrey's solo band, and he exhausted himself with The Who's hard-hitting tom-tom fills and snare slaps immortalized by original drummer Keith Moon. Though the song is soon-to-be over for The Who, they've orchestrated a concert that wraps their legacy with pride. 'You'll never remember the perfect show,' Daltrey said after another technical issue paused the start of the sprightly 'You Better You Bet.' 'You'll remember the (screw)-ups.' So was this show "perfect"? No. But that was never the point of rock 'n' roll.
