Pete Townshend skittered onto the stage Friday night at the Xcel Energy Center with all the presence of an aging roadie, followed closely by a black-clad Roger Daltrey. No grand entrance music, no falling curtains, no explosions — just the two surviving members of one of the most influential rock bands ever to walk the earth. That wasn't the only hurdle. Daltrey announced from the stage he was suffering from bronchitis. And it must've been worse than he thought, as the band cut the show short by at least 20 minutes. Daltrey skipped the encore altogether, leaving Townshend alone to lead the confused crowd through a sing-along take on "My Generation."
