Here's the Who performing "Won't Get Fooled Again" at that same concert, and blowing the roof off the joint. If Pete Townshend had ascended to heaven riding a flaming chariot when he thundered his final power chord in this number, it wouldn't have surprised me one bit. Up the Anglosphere!
What bittersweet exhiliration to watch this six years later, given what happened. Given how we got fooled again.

Oh, but I do love Daltry's parting comment:
"We could never follow what you did."
And I do love seeing the Air Guitar practiced by firefighters in full dress uniform. You don't suppose there was any drinking going on there do you?

Surely will keep on being fooled for sure..

Sorry, very late with that U2 clip. This is from the "Tribute to Heroes" telethon that ran a few days after 9/11

Ho-hum.
Saw them do this song in 1972.
When they still had long hair.
Skin sagging, vocal chords fading. But they are still The Who.
Rock on.
