THE WHO WOW AUCKLAND, NZ

After an absence from New Zealand of 40 years, The Who blasted their way through an amazing set at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland last night.

Baba O’Riley
Eminence Front (preceded by Pete “I don’t want to play this f***ing song…”)
5.15

Love Reign O’er Me
(Longer interlude. Pete issues death threats to amp, which is clearly unaware of how its forerunners would have been dealt with)

Won’t Get Fooled Again
 
Encore:
