Heartfelt Goodbyes from Daltrey and Townshend
Addressing the audience, Pete Townshend remarked, “We will do stuff together … in bits and pieces, but for this kind of thing, it’s goodbye. And you were last! Thank you so much.” Roger Daltrey added, “It was every band’s dream in the ’60s to make it in America, and thanks to you guys, you made it happen for us. Thank you so much. May you be happy, and may you be healthy, and may you be lucky!”
