This sounds more like The Who than anything that's on Endless Wire, and that makes me wonder if maybe Simon Townshend didn't have a hand in the writing. Simon's best songs are as good as anything on any of Pete's solo records. In fact, since the 1980s, the only good Townshend songs have been Simon Townshend songs.

Roger's got lots of recent previous for this unfortunately. He needs to consider spacing his gigs further apart to let his body and voice recover as Mick does. He's only a year younger than our Mick. His voice packed up in Cardiff a few years back, postponing the rest of that tour by 3 or 4 months.

roger also has a voice that gets affected by things that seem to not bother mick. its possible it was just the humidity or something in Houston threw it off. I wish the who had let roger put on a guitar and done the rest of the show with pete doing vocals and roger helping on guitar

Nice idea, but Roger would have none of that. He was thoroughly pissed off. After Who Are You, Pete walked over and they talked a bit. Pete then said something to the crowd about supporting Roger, which drew applause and cheers, then Roger said something, but I couldn’t understand him. At the time, I thought it was some type of equipment problem. He sounded great during the Tommy songs.
Early on, they both joked that they knew they were in Texas because of how it affected their allergies, so that probably played a role. Roger actually had the funniest line of the night, something like ‘What the @#$%& is Ragweed? Who smokes that shit?’
Too bad, as Pete was in great spirits, playing and singing with a lot of energy.

I fear Roger May not like the amount of weed smoke when he hits Vancouver... There was a lot of pot smoke at the last who gig I was at.

He seems to be much more protective of his voice now than he was even 10 years ago. I saw a Who concert in 2007 (I think it was the last show of that tour) where Roger had a cold or the Flu. He croaked his way through the set, apologizing for his bad voice between each song. The crowd still loved it.

Unfortunately due to illness, The Who concerts in Dallas Sept 27 & Denver Sept 29 must be postponed. Fans should hold on to their tickets for Dallas & Denver shows & Sept 25 Houston show, as they will be honoured at rescheduled dates. Please stay tuned for further information.

That's unfortunate for those who planned on attending, but on the bright side the shows will be rescheduled, and (hopefully) Roger will be good to go after that.
The next scheduled date isn't until Oct. 9 in San Francisco, so plenty of time to recuperate/recover from any ailments - unless it's something more serious of course.
Keeping fingers crossed for the scheduled Hollywood Bowl shows (Oct. 11, 13, 24) which I have tix for, but if I'm able to see even just one of them I'll be happy.
Last time I saw them was at Desert Trip where they were phenomenal both weekends.
