Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who rocked Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Tuesday night May 26. Their 1965 smash hit about teen rebellion, “My Generation,” famously features the sneering lyric “Hope I die before I get old.” But at 71 and 70, the duo are still consummate showmen, with Townshend doing his famous windmill guitar strum and Daltrey starting the show by flinging out his microphone, then reeling it back in by the cord. However, their current “The Who Hits 50!” tour is, according to Daltrey, admittedly the “start of the long goodbye” for the defining British rock band.
