I thought it was 1982 I was at The Who’s retirement party in MN.
'82 was the "Farewell" tour. The '89 "Reunion" celebrated the band's 25th anniversary.

Its odd really. Nobody much concerned themselves with the respective ages of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee, Fats Domino and others when they were still out on the road in their 70s and 80s. As long as there was an audience nobody cared if it was a Greatest Hits show. They cannot have been doing it for the money?
Many jazz musicians likewise (check the recently deceased Hugh Masekela, for example).
I certainly think Macca is in for the long haul....what else can a poor boy do?

They were also celebrating the 20th anniversary of Tommy, large chunks of which were included in the setlist. They even played it in its entirety a couple of times. Not sure what they were celebrating when they came back again in 1996. That was the "It Took Us 23 Years, But We Finally Figured Out How To Do Quadrophenia" tour, if I remember correctly.
