Last night: The Who in The Woodlands. TheWho CWMPavilion
A video segment near the end of The Who’s set Sunday night at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion mimicked how time can pass in the blink of an eye. The collage pieced clips oftime together with a news reel threading the turmoil of the 1960s to the turmoil of today. One moment we were in Vietnam, the next it was 9/11. Images of lost rock heroes like John Lennon, Joe Strummer and The Who’s own Keith Moon and John Entwistle came and went.
Daltrey and Townshend were in good spirits, chatting and joking generously with one another and the crowd throughout the night, perhaps buoyed by the strength of their set and sidestepping the bad luck that plagued the band’s last visit. After all, they were playing an outdoor show in the woods during allergy season in Houston. They maybe didn’t know just how close the show was to yet another unfortunate interruption.
Speaking of the band, it was exceptional. This tour featured Townshend’s brother Simon as guitarist and background vocalist, bassist Jon Button and Zak Starkey on drums, accompanied by a pair of keyboardists, Loren Gold and Emily Marshall. Townshend introduced Katie Jacoby who shredded violin parts on “Baba O’Riley” and “Behind Blue Eyes” and the 48-piece orchestra — a different one in every city of the tour - was conducted by Keith Levenson.
