I read a comment from someone who saw Roger on this tour. He said that, before "Won't Get Fooled Again", he said that he wouldn't do the scream at the end because, at his age, it would rip his vocal chords. Instead, he made it an audience participation thing. He told the audience, "You do the scream for me."
Authentic and honest.
Smart......
A couple of years ago I seen RD on the Rock Legends Cruise doing this song. Before 'the scream', I seen him getting psyched up to do it. Everybody watching and waiting. It was on the pool deck and I was behind the band on the next deck up. I had a view of what the band saw. He nailed it and the place went nuts. Magical moment for me to witness.
Off topic but I saw Alvin Lee at Hermosa Lighthouse in '75 about. He still rocked the hell out that nightclub. My five year old Son fell asleep during "Going home". We were ten feet from his Marshall.
@@williamfarmer3841 Alvin Lee and Ten Years After were a GREAT band...I saw them I believe in 72 or 73......Bad Ass!!!!
@@newspapertaxis1 Actually the date was '95. My Son was born in '90. Still bad ass dude. He coated his fretboard with Vaseline before he took the stage.
I'm glad he didn't die before he got old
Me too! Unfortunately so many talented artists did.
Have you heard "I Don't Wanna Get Wise?" (Probably one of very few songs with autotune (done only as an effect in the chorus.) Pete's lyrics to that..always great.
"Disregard previous message!" -- R Daltrey, 2024
Hi phil. Much respect to you and roger.
I think Roger and the Who are a band that tours on and off over the last 40 years.
His vocals are not worn out.
Some older bands toured non stop and burnt themselves out .
Much respect to You and roger none the less.
He just still hasn't gotten old and probably never will. The point of the line (I think) is getting old mentally, not physically. Never betray your dreams of youth, even at 80.
Bottom line...people like Mr. Daltrey have integrity...
He's in a band with a fellow who was arrested for CHILD PORN.
Roger Daltrey and Tom Jones are both 80 years old, and they both still sing their arses off without having to rely on lip-sync
Mr Jones is 84. Jagger is 80
I’ve seen and heard both Roger and Tom in recent years and both having made adjustments for their age still kick ass!!
Yes. Tom Jones, absolutely.
@@johnpillow481 I saw Roger in ‘13, I was in awe of his voice, and he has clearly been taking care of his voice. As there are not many seniors that can sing up that register with such precision and power
@@jackarcher7495 Tom’s voice is a phenomenon
Daltrey has always been utterly authentic.
He definitely has the longest lasting powerful voice of any rocker I can think of.
@@RSVPini Daltrey is still sounding quite good at 80, but Glenn Hughes (formerly of Deep Purple, Trapeze, Black Sabbath, and other groups) is 72, and he still has a voice that is almost miraculous for his age.
@@christianman73 Yes, Glenn Hughes does sound great. I just checked out a 2024 performance by him as I don't follow him. If he can sing like that at age 80, I'll be super impressed.
I can't imagine who would rather hear a "perfect sounding" lip-synch instead of a genuine live performance. As to age, Tony Bennett sang live, not lip-synched, through his 80's and even into his 90's, with his final live performance at age 95. Major respect to Roger for keeping it real.
You may not hear it, but often you can see it or - if perfectionists lip sync - proof it per spectrum analyzer like Wings of Pegasus did with "Done Henly" - for whom people paid so much money just to see him lip syncing (without knowing what they get of course).
shame is they don't have much choice anymore. and current and future generations won't even know there's an option.
Tony Bennett had a limited range.
This doesn’t surprise me at all with Roger. He has taken care of himself over the years. Always had a great voice. Nothing but the utmost respect for him.
I saw Roger just about three weeks back. I can't tell by the video if it was the show I was at, but it had to be within a day either way. He accepts his age on stage, pokes fun at it, and notes his hearing issues. He stopped a couple times as he was having some difficulty picking up the intro, but he kept at it. He's still a great performer and the voice remains pitch perfect...naturally pitch perfect. I closed my eyes as he was singing and it could have been fifty years back. The voice has not only held up, but it's as good as ever. Was very happy I went to see him. It can be hit and miss with older rockers. Not the case with Roger. Great.
@@MikeD_ where did you see him? He played at Tanglewood in Lenox mass. Maybe two weeks ago.
@@michelleshafto4141 Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY on June 18.
@@MikeD_ oh, cool yeah a couple of hours away.
Totally agree Fil...if they can't perform live anymore ....retire....stop conning and ripping people off....
I said that about one YES singer or other once about aututotune. If you are 70 75 and feel you cant perform to your old capabilities anymore that's fine, we know who you are and what you could do. If you can't accept ageing then retire with dignity. (I think you can imagine the backlash that comment got) However I think Levon Helm still did backing vocals after his throat cancer.
I agree but, on the other hand, I'd rather hear a bad LIVE singer than canned vocals just to say I saw someone. Also, as long as people keep paying these exuberant prices for a not-so live performance.... it's just gonna keep happening. You voice your opinion with your wallet folks
@@jangles1839 I think the last concert I saw was "Crosby/Stills" and it was a long time ago now and they were singing live with no autotune. And I agree there is no shame in aging and also what we hear is a mix of what we have heard before and what we are hearing now so it doesnt matter if the natural voice i a little deteriorated. Thinking that would be like thinking your grandchildren stopped loving you if you became grey haired and wrinkly. It may happen but Is not the norm.
@@jangles1839 yeah I’m not a concert lover, but if you are 80 years old, it can barely sing, just do your best. I’m here to see you, of course you’re not going to sing like you did in your 20s.
We are not complaining about the lack of live vocals. There is value in the ambience of a live concert, especially if the performers are engaging with the audience in between bits. We object to them advertising this as live music, when the musical parts are canned. They would still get people to come see them, but at a lower ticked price and in fewer numbers, if they were being honest.
Roger Daltrey is Daltrey!! There’s only one ☝️ and there’ll never be another. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you, Roger and The Who for all those years of crazy excellence and unique peak experiences. 🎶 🎤 🎶
Agreed!
🔹🔹🔹🎶🎶🎶🔹 Roger's Still Got It 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’ve completely lost my desire to see the Eagles in concert again. Go Roger!
You can’t see the Eagles anyway,you can only see an Eagle and his employees.
I went to the Roger Daltrey gig in Boston 2 weeks ago. It is hard to believe how great his voice is at the age of 80. Before they performed Won't Get Fooled Again, Roger explained to the audience how he's sung the infamous Daltrey Scream at the end of the song for half a century and he always woke up with a hoarse voice the next morning because of it. So in Boston, he asked the crowd to do the "Daltrey Scream" when it got to that part of the song. And it worked out great! Long live Roger Daltrey who is in my opinion the greatest rock and roll vocalist of all time. BTW, Roger mentioned that if they are still alive, there is a good chance of a new Who album and a Who tour in 2025. Time will tell.
The Who had 3 lead vocalists. Usually Daltrey, often Townshend, and sometimes bass player John Entwistle sang lead. Maybe just my opinion, but it can be argued that Daltrey is the best rock front man ever. What about Jagger, Plant? (Take away Bohemian Rhapsody and Live Aid, and half as many people even know that Queen once existed). Keep in mind, Daltrey had a better voice than those two greats back then, and it's still better today.
Life style. R. Daltrey cares for himself and his audience.
Integrity.
I'm 70 myself so I have a high regard for Roger. I plan to keep working till I'm 80, too.
Good for you!
Those of us who grew up with this incredible music, a tip of the hat to Roger. How, at 80, he maintains this tone and pitch is incredible? Given the toll that rock takes on one's voice, even more spectacular. God bless Mr Daltry and The Who, and may love continue to reign o're him!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And you are right, one of the most beautiful rock songs of the era, but spot on, a relentless vocal because that is what the song requires. Definitely NOT an old person wasteland!
Thank you, Fil. And keep good, authentic music alive. BTW, another singer who sounds as good as she did 40 plus years ago is Miss Gladys Knight. My God, the talent we grew up with. So, so blessed.
@ChuckHackney
I saw Gladys live in Cardiff 2019...Amazing
i saw an interview with Roger a few years ago where he said he would keep singing as long as he could maintain the same quality, but would retire when he couldn't achieve the same professional standard. clearly, he is still hanging in there!
@TheMinister - They also sang about dying before getting old...
@@pit2ryan3 good point!
I'm old too (66) and I'm aggravated by bands who charge $300+ for tickets based purely on nostalgia for our youth and then don't truly perform live. If you can't do it, then you stop doing it. Go Roger and The Who, perhaps the greatest rock band in history.
Totally agree. I paid $3000 for the first row ticket to see and hear Paul McCartney right before the Covid shut down. I knew his voice wasn't going to sound like he was in his 20s. I would have felt cheated if it did. I listened to a 3-hour concert with a 78 year old legend. He was magnificent.
66 is middle aged not old 😅
@@robdee9341 Ha ha. Thanks. I'm young at heart at least.
As far as I know REM are the only band to publicly say F that oldies greatest hits tours we are done.
@@1mmickkThe lead singer of the La's, Lee Mavers, deserves a special mention because he did what the Manics promised to do, make just one album and no more. He was a complete perfectionist, constantly re-tuning, he wanted original instruments, including an organ 'with 1960s dust'! Although the album didn't turn out the way he wanted (which he rightly felt betrayed by), I think they captured the sound he wanted in their fantastic single 'There She Goes'. After years away from the industry, I think they only did one 'comeback' tour in 2005, and Lee has done a couple of other surprise gigs with a new band. Always describing himself as a 'conduit' for the music (rather than a songwriter), he's a sensitive soul and a true musician.
Those of us who saw the Who, the Stones and Pink Floyd live in the early 70’s…..we’re the lucky 🍀 ones 🥂
Daltry has tweaked the melody a little. That just means he knows what his voice can do. So he's going to get up there and do what sounds good with the voice he has now. And He Don't Need To Be Forgiven.
"They're all wasted...". We were and we still are. Swing that mic Roger. We still love you.
We love our old Rock Stars!! It’s wonderful he REALLY loves us back!!
Completely agree Fil, Daltrey is a legend in the true sense of the word. 80 yrs young and still rocking it.
Doing it live is for fun and art. Lip sync is for cash.
Roger once said, 'I don't get paid to sing, I get paid to tour'.
I have news for you.....they're all in it for the money.
@@ramalama9650 where was that quote from? Be good to read it.
And, of course, Henley wants the cash
@@keithgrahammusic It was on one of his interviews here on UA-cam. Just one of his comments as he and the interviewer were having a chat.
This is the perfect follow up to that "other" video. 😁 Thanks for this Fil, and props to Roger for keeping it real and still pulling it off so well! Add Mick Jagger to that as well, he is still out there singing live, and dancing all over the stage, and working incredibly hard to keep himself in shape to do that at age 80. I agree, the authenticity should be recognized and appreciated.
Jon Anderson too!
Listen to Jon Anderson (Yes). He still sounds like he did 50 years ago. He's 79. Listen also to Ian Gillan. Still in fine form at 78.
Sammy Hagar is another one who still sounds good. I think he's 76.
@@sawboss216 Another is Fred Turner of BTO. He's no longer performing, but up until a couple years ago he still could shake the place down with his baritone gravely delivery.
Jon has lowered the key of some songs in his current tour with The Band Geeks. But then he was singing way higher without falsetto in 1969 than most vocalists today with falsetto. And you could tell it live because in the first few gigs last year he forgot his own lyrics.
As for playing live, there were several sums in the Wakeman era that really needed four hands, so they used pre-corded track to cover it. For this tour, Jon asked The Band Geeks for two keyboard players, in order to do away with that necessity. Which promoted a lot of idiots saying that the band weren’t good enough to play all of Wakeman’s parts.
We get old.. its fine.. Sing.. or talk the best you can.. we are here to see the group..
Roger also has the benefit of clean living. He’s said someone had to keep the lunatics in line. He is very proud of his enunciation & felt a responsibility to save his voice as it was his instrument within the band. Another singer, I believe 75?, that still sounds amazing though he admits he didn’t do the best job of taking care of voice is Justin Hayward. He does solo shows now & especially when full voice sounds incredible. Check out some of his live gigs on YT.
always had huge respect for Daltrey - God bless him
I saw Roger do an interview years ago where he said “give me a bum note and a bead of sweat any day.” It’s not always about accuracy…it’s about feelings and passion. I had the great fortune to see Tony Bennett in concert when he was in his mid-80’s. No one expected him to sound the way he sounded when he was in his 30’s or 40’s. But as his voice changed, he made the wise decision not to perform too often with large orchestras, choosing a more intimate jazz trio or quartet. This allowed him to adjust his approach and actually brought greater subtlety and emotional shading to his performances. I wish some younger singers would try this earlier in their careers and not rely so much on technology to sound “perfect.”
Roger Daltrey is much more talented than the lip-synced frauds.
I've known for a long time that people like Madonna are lip-synching a serious amount of the time...
@@louise_roseYes indeed, and Cliff Richard started doing it decades ago!
I don't think it's a matter of 'talent' per se. Age is a cruel master...
@@louise_rose Don Henley is the one we're discussing, not Madonna
He flies much higher than an eagle 😁
Who would have ever thought he’d be doing this at 80 back in the 60’s. Just crazy!
mate yesterday dj local indie played new spiders from mars from boxset i cant explain whos first single hard to.believe 64 same keith richards 80 bowie spiders cover 73 pretty cool like just a pubrocker jam as you mates would say
Yes, especially since he was singing in the 60's that he hopes he dies before he gets old! 😅
It's even more amazing that he was 80 back in the 60s... I'm kidding! I know what you mean.
I wouldn’t even have thought I’d be around to see him do this!😅😅😅
Roger is still the man. It is nice of you to give him props.
For an 80 year old, Roger still sounds great! Thank you for this fun analysis, and Congrats on another 1000 subscribers! Rock!
🐈* boop *
@@NinjaKittyBonks hey there! I hope all is well with you. 🙂
@@tammydoolittle6054 .. and backactha 😺See you tomorrow and just remember to 🤘and 🎸
I saw them in 2022. He sounded great, period! I couldn't believe how good he sounded. And I was pretty close to the stage. He was NOT lip syncing.
Thanks!
This is amazing! 80 yrs old and Roger can still do it. Love it!
I've always respected Roger Daltrey; now I truly admire the man and his artistry.
This made me cry...saw them first at Isle of Wight in 1970. He is rock and roll...tears for a time and life.
I hear you! That was such a time! Roger is still cool to me.
Wow - Daltrey is rocking it still. Amazing. If older people can no longer perform live, even in a lower key, then they simply shouldn't perform OR they should advertise that they are not singing live.
It's reslly something fine not by younger artists but I agree no lipsynching please.
Roger Daltrey is legit in everything he does.
Another great example of a singer who is still belting them out live is Micky Dolenz.
OMG yes!! I got into him after listening to a tour of him with David Cassidy and Peter Noone! They all killed! Noon did a hilarious imitation of Mick Jagger. Then I heard Mickey do a cover of The Beatles' "Oh Darling" and I became a fan. I think that was in 17.
@@IMeMineWho Yeah, I saw a clip of Mickey from this year, and he's still as great as ever!
Great song, great album, great singer, great band.
Roger is amazing! I saw him a few years ago and he did a version of Love Reign O’re Me that made the hair on my arms stand up. It was definitely him live.
Elton John too is still singing live. He accommodates his limitations with altered arrangements. So not every old rocker lip syncs.
Elton burned his voice out decades back, long before he was older. He still sounds good, but in a different way. I'm guessing he was still singing live on what's billed as his final tour, although maybe not and Fil's done a video on Elton I've missed! I'm okay with loss of vocal range, or an artist simply sounding different as they age, as long as the artist is performing live.
Totally spot on Fil. I can only laugh at those thinking otherwise.
Thanks Fil for shining a light on this performance. It's wonderful to see The Who still killing it live.
The Who is my favorite group. Hats off to Roger. You can't expect him to sound the same as he did in the 70s or 60s. Saw the Who in Phoenix in 2022 and they put on a great show. Ticket prices were high though due to Live Nation. Thanks so much for posting. I love Roger.❤ 🇬🇧
I just looked at some tickets being sold through Live Nation, and they’re more than double what I paid for comparable (same band; similar seats) tickets last year and the previous year. Their “verified resale” tickets are legalized scalping. If you can find the petition to break the Ticketmaster/Live Nation monopoly, please sign it. Ty
@SuziQ. Thanks, I'll do that. Live Nation is a despicable corporation. I don't think anything will change even with DOJ investigation. I've loathed them for years. I'm a geezer and proud of it.😀
Millions rave on about the great Robert Plant and he was awesome but Roger is more than equal, Legend!
Roger was the real prototype rock lead singer,even Jagger copied him on the Stones come back tour in ‘69
@@andrewhudson8966 I love Mick Jagger but he was never that gifted of a singer, compared to Plant, Daltrey, McCartney, Mercury, and many more. Jagger had swagger, and an unmistakably distinctive recognizable voice, but a limited range and flexibility. He can still carry on at 80, because he was never a screamer (like McCartney was. Daltrey knew how to sing and scream using a solid vocal technique so it wouldn’t hurt him). Mick always knew how to take care of himself and his voice. The Stones have taken two days off after each gig for years, presumably because they need the recovery time, especially Mick. That’s also why he can still do it.
My parents saw Plant in the 70's and my mother m said he couldn't hit the notes then. It's no secret that Plant avoids most of the Zeppelin reunions because he can't sing those notes anymore. That's why he sticks to the lower intensity vocals with Alison Krause.
He's been at it since he was 19, co-founded The Who when he was 20. Amazing.
Roger is amazing. He still does them all in the original key. This is a true rock star!
I saw Roger Daltrey 10 days ago in Detroit. He sang live and killed that show! He is an amazing singer! He did invite us to sing the scream in "Wont Get Fooled Again." He proclaimed he is done with that scream! Great show! Simon Townshend played guitar with him!!
I saw The Who live in Edmonton, in 2016. It was great. Simon Townshend was with the band. I met Simon Townshend when he was opening up for Heart. Cheers! ✌️
Roger does sound older but he still sounds great. Ringo Srar is another one whose voice hasn't changed much.
Last time I saw Paul McCartney sing, I thought 'Its time to hang it up mate' but at least it was actually Paul singing and not some recording of him singing with the Beatles or Wings.
I've seen Paul on each of his tours since 2009. And I agree that as long as he feels he can do it live, he should. I'd never go see anyone freaking lip synch their songs. I can accept that Paul can't hit all the notes anymore.
In my opinion the whole story is not about whether someone should or should not lipsync on a performance and what age he or she got that would make it acceptable, but it is about not actually singing but pretending to do so. It is about being honest to your audience.
EXACTLY RIGHT!🖖
Daultry what a legend. The WHO is my all time favorite band. I was blessed to see them many times and witnessed greatness.
Maybe The Who did not care if they did each performance perfectly, but they cared deeply about putting on a great show. You don't have a career that they had without a deep connection with their audience.
I have seen The Who many times, and they all were the very best at their craft.
I had to laugh a little when I saw the title of this video because I literally was just thinking about this yesterday! A recent performance of “Behind Blue Eyes” popped up on my UA-cam homepage and I clicked on it and watched. I thought Roger Sounded really good and that it sounded like a live performance, but I’m not a musician so I wasn’t 100% sure. I thought to myself if it was live it was such a contrast to other bands like the Eagles who aren’t preforming fully live anymore! So now I have confirmation that The Who performances are still live!
True singing from a coffin dodger - that's our Roger! But, over in Hotel California we have a mime artist residing 😉. To some deniers I'd sing the line our of The Killers Mr Brightside: "But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my Eagle Eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside." (I slightly changed 1 word, can you guess which one? 😉).
Giving credit where credit is due 👍. Good for you Roger. Great analysis Fil.
Hats off to Roger! Thanks Fil.
Thanks for appreciating true rock 'n roll you are a rare young man Fil
I couldn't believe what he opened in the same key as the original
I heard recently that Roger said he’s retiring. It’s pretty hard touring when you’re 80. Plus, he said all these older artists need to get out of the way and let the new generation take over. Unfortunately, I don’t see a lot of that kind of music on the horizon. Not in the US anyway. I’ve seen Sweden has a lot of 80s style bands. I think Americans don’t appreciate them, unfortunately.
Love Viagra Boys ✌️
What “new generation”?
For me, American rock died with Kurt.
@@lawwdogg1digr definitely not the grunge crap!
Going to concerts with a young singer's voice and 40 years later having the wonderful experience and opportunity of going to a concert with the same singer's older voice is so precious. We all age and it's nice aging with our favorite singers. Thanks for for letting us all age together. 👍🙂👍
Wow, that's impressive. 😮 His voice is still so strong and he sounds amazing!
Oh, Fil, absolutely brilliant follow up to your previous video! Roger is absolutely amazing at his age and in the original key!! He is keeping it real in his live performance. How refreshing! Great analysis video, Fil! Perfect time to release this one! 💜
"Why would you expect a 76 year old to sing?"
Why would you pay to see someone lip synch?
I saw Sade live in the late 90s (Lovers Rock tour). I love her music but it was so disappointing. And she was actually singing....over tracks which were synched up to videos showing on a huge screen behind the stage. It was awful. Zero spontaneity.
I'm a pro musician and when you play to tracks there is no chance to improvise or truly interact with the audience in terms of break downs, extended outros, etc. It's not about being a purist. Music is about expressing emotion, not merely producing sounds. Tracks limit the ability to be expressive and spontaneous.
If an artist can't sing anymore then....RETIRE.
@kentstallards - You pay to see someone in the flesh, then to hear him/she...
Daltrey is the REAL deal! Folks we are blessed. Sir Fil, thanks so much for this and Roger, ‘A big ‘tip-o-the-hat’ to yo, mate! 3:38
I saw The Who in 19 I have seen them live 2x a couple decades apart. The last concert was magical..full moon, Roger singing over a full orchestra, Pete and Roger's humorous banter. A 13 yr. old I overheard said it was the best concert he had ever been to.
Haha, Roger Daltrey upsetting the curve for older performers! I have my thoughts about the other artist you're referring to, but I'll just say good for Roger!
I must be the only 1 who does not know who Fil is referring to!

You can tell the singers who just go on working the way they always did. They’re up for it when asked.
Fantastic 👍
Colin Hay is another one - bulletproof voice and still hitting the high notes. Lots of live versions of 'Overkill' on UA-cam well worth a look 🤌
Well done Roger Daltry! I would NEVER pay to see someone lip sync!
I would never go watch a band if I knew that the singer was lip-syncing. What would be the point.
I'm 73 years old. So I understand that there are some things I can no longer do. My feeling if you can't sing the song live in the original key, it's time to retire. There is no shame in that. You had your moment in the sun and you probably made enough money. Accept reality. Roger Daltrey is truly amazing! And as long as he can perform at that high level, I say more power to him, if he wants to continue performing live.
That's my take on it too. I've been too broke for concerts for a lot of years, so I didn't even of this. I'd be furious if I paid money and a singer was lip syncing! If you're going to do that, then you'd better be up front with the fans so they can decide if they want to pay for that or not. I can't stand being lied to!
Someone complained that he talked too much and did not sing much. He is 80!!! I have seen him with the Who and solo and feel very fortunate.
I'd rather a lot of talking and a little bit of singing, than no talking and lip synched vocals.
I love when Pete and Rog banter! I think banter is 1 of the musts in a good band gig!
If a band/singer is performing in front of a paying audience they better be *performing*. Lip sync is fraud as far as I'm concerned. If a performer is unable to do the job, then, like the rest of us when we are too old, they should hang it up. The "singer' being referred to who was lip synching has no need for more money. I'll never go to a concert by any band who lip syncs. What am I paying for? To listen to a recording while someone sings air-vocals? Yeah right. Go watch a video of one of their concerts when they were in their prime.
I have gone to see performers who were past their prime and bad to the point where it was disillusioning . Knowing I paid to see someone pretend to perform would be worse.
As for Roger Daltrey that was impressive. Thanks Fil for showing us his example. We won't get fooled again!
Good points you made. I agree with you. Cheers! ✌️
If they were just honest about it. If people want to pay a lot of money to hear lip-synched music, fine. But a lot of people don't. People should know the truth before they pay the money -- not an unreasonable request. Mr. Daltrey is worth his ticket price, because he is honest (and good).
Those that say "well he's an old man, of course he can't hit those notes any more" totally miss the point. It should be called "The lip sync. tour not live. It's printed on the tickets. I also like to thank Roger for the small fortune I made by repairing Mic cables in Alpha Sound Services where I worked in Liverpool in the 60s. What an amazing time and place to be alive! Thanks Fil.
"we don't care if you don't like what we do, because we"ll do it anyway" ❤ baba o'riley is incredibly fun to sing along to, my favourite encore at pearl jam shows.
I've seen the who twice in the past 12 years or so, last time when they did Quadrophenia live, with an orchestra. Roger had to take some breaks to rest his voice and there would be some Townshend solo stuff performed but when he was on stage he was great. They ended with Love Reign O-er Me, and Roger took a pretty big break to get ready for that, but when he came out he killed it, hit all those great big notes seemingly without issue. So glad I saw him perform while he still could/can.
I just was at a concert of Burton Cummings on Canada Day, 1 July 2024. It was very enjoyable . He brought the higher notes in his songs into a more comfortable range for himself now. He still rocked on and talked with his audience. His back up band were all good singers and talented instrumentalists. It was a really great show put on by one of my favorites. My family, much younger, enjoyed it as well. Authentic talent at 77 years of age. Here Roger is another fine example of true artistry and talent. Thank you for this.
Working class guy, working class values.
The Who have never taken the stage and not given their all.
Roger is amazing! I would pay to see The Who and also The Rolling Stones. That must take an incredible amount of conditioning to keep your voice on that level.
he guest starred in Highlander for the lulz, so clearly he's far too cool to lipsync.
P.S. This is the greatest youtube channel
Singing that well at 80 shows Daltrey is in great physical shape overall - performance singing is hard work!
I wish non-singers / non-music people would understand that.
He's a Master performer. Saw Daltrey last week. Huge fan. Still sounds good, gave a great show.
Roger is singing better now than he did 10 years ago
Roger Daltry is an all time great. What an amazing rock voice.
Robert Plant still sounds wonderful at 75. I'm not sure if he sings the old material in the same key, but he sounds fantastic to me. Especially when he duets with female singers.
Eff Don Henley.
yes he had local show with allison krause this past fall dj they still sounded great together don ol boys gone overboard no cell phones copyright etc
I saw him in Cincinnati a couple of years ago. Hus voice had aged but was still better than a lot I have heard. The fact he was in the correct key for the songs helped keep the energy up. I saw Genesis on the final tour and doing those songs tuned down just drained the energy from the concert.
Right on, Fil. Agree 100%. Roger is raw and honest as always.
Some people have told me that the Dutch version of the unmentionable band is where it's at.
Fil…you are loved and adored. Roger like a lot of the greats have nothing to prove, nothing to hide, nothing to protect, nothing to defend. He is free to sing however he wants. Live, pure vocals are always preferred in my book. I still wish you would watch Chaka Khan in her recent Tiny Desk performance on You Tube. At her age, her vocals are on point. Blessings❤
I felt Tony Bennett also retained his ability to sing on pitch at a late age. I would be interest in your opinion on his voice, if you haven't done so already. You do an excellent job with these videos and the older musician in myself thanks you.
Lip syncing is just sad. No question it has got to be very difficult to accept inability to hit those note any longer or sing as well, but this turns off his genuine fans. Good on Roger for staying true ❤
The younger ones do it even more. They get caught at it all the time.
@@Hollylivengood ... Many do, but they also built their "career" on it, so they don't even see it as disrespecting their fans... because they really aren't.
.
I think we all understand maybe a backing track used to add a layer to songs that were built upon it (look at _The Cars_ debut record for purrfect example and one of my top 25 of all time), but makes us appreciate the greats that much more.
@@Hollylivengood Even if I didn't have an ethical problem with it (and I do), I would be TERRIFIED of a technical mishap and I'm found out and humiliated in front of an audience. That's the stuff of nightmares!
@Yesica1993 Remember the Lindsay Lohan moment? You wanted to go, OK pretend to sing now. OK now! That was a shame. Did you know all of Michael Jackson's performances were lip synced? He didn't want his voice to shake while he danced. Obsessive perfectionist. Just why.
@@Hollylivengood I don't follow Lindsay Lohan at all. As to MJ, if that's true, that's depressing. At least I know he actually did have talent, because I've seen performances from when he was a child, long before that sort of technology existed. Was he also ALWAYS miming to a record? I don't know. It didn't seems so. But what do I know? It's depressing..
Love your channel, this lip syncing stuff I hitting the fan. I have spoken to people who are furious for paying for exorbant ticket prices to learn they could have heard the same thing at home on their stereo . My hats off to Daultry for doing it RIGHT . I don't mind some vocal mess ups. ITS WHAT MAKES IT A LIVE PERFORMANCE. The unpredictability of things and uniqueness of it. Thank you for posting , keep up the good work !
Yes, Fil! Exactly. How I'm kicking myself for not going to see The Daltrey when he kicked off this tour last month in Philly. One of my favorite singers singing one of my favorite songwriter's songs. Be yourself! Sing to your limits, maybe defer the scream from "won't Get Fooled Again" that he did for 55 years. Rock'n'Roll is best served raw and uncomplicated. Real! Gimme REAL! Thanks, man! Made my night!
Agree 100%, I'd rather see an artist singing pitched down, out of tune, whatever, than see some lipsynched BS. Bravo to Roger, he is a legend!
I love Roger even more now and I didn't think that was possible. Definition of a Rock God.
I saw Gladys Knight live 2 years ago here in the UK--about 10 feet from her in the front row--and she was amazing! She was 78 then, and at 80 years old now, she's still touring.
