Pete Townshend spread the warmth at Target Center.

Who's next?

Back on tour with the Who for the first time since 2007, guitarist Pete Townshend seemed in good spirits Tuesday at Target Center. He commented about the Twin Cities having more theater than any other area (per capita), so he was thrilled to bring the "semi-theatrical" "Quadrophenia" to a theater capital. He also commented about the lack of snow here (he cited global warming) and how some of his Minnesota friends were pining for white stuff.

"Hopefully, it will be freezing next time we come here," he said after the "Quadrophenia" set. However, by the end of the night, the vibe felt more like a farewell, as singer Roger Daltrey plugged his ears near the end and after "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Townshend gave thumbs-up to the sound while a dazed Daltrey pronounced it bass-heavy. In the end, though, the singer thanked the fans in the half-full arena for their support for so many decades.

"Without you," he said, "we'd still be in a bar somewhere."
