Saw them play Live8 back in '05. Still had it.

This is really Half the Who. They should bill this as Roger and Pete. After all, when Paul and Ringo perform together (and they do once in a while) no one calls it a 'Beatles' show. And when George, Paul and Ringo got back together to promote the Beatles Anthology, and even played impromptu unannounced now-you-see-them, now-you-don't gigs in Germany, it wasn't considered a 'Beatles Reunion' by anyone except maybe the sensational American media.
Some things you just have to Let It Be. Change the tour billing name, guys - out of respect for your deceased bandmates if nothing else.

Whether you want to call it The Who or just Pete and Roger, still worth a listen.

They've had a change of heart.
One of the greatest performances in rock and roll history ( thank me later ):

Sure it's still worth a listen, and maybe worth seeing too. But both Roger and Pete have had success solo and now there's just 2 Whosters left alive today. That's why I call it Half a Who. Some things you just can't bring back. The Who is practically gone but Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend live on. However, maybe 'The Who' does exist on paper. Rock'n'roll in the UK is a matter of business and legal jive. Look at the Beatles' case, there's now 'Jeff Lynne's ELO' because he bought the shares of 'ELO' from the others and so forth. It's so strange,.

Despite their international fame and popularity among Japanese fans The Who never toured Japan in their heyday. I did production for John Entwistle when he toured Japan with Alan Parsons. He was an innovative player and a gentleman. His first instrument was French Horn which he played Quadrophenia. Shortly after the Japan tour he headed to Las Vegas for a reunion of The Who but before the first show died in his hotel room.
