The Who's performance at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 25, 2025, elicited a mixture of emotions. The anticipation was high as this was The Who's first local concert appearance since 2022. There was also a feeling of sadness as this was the last concert the band will ever perform in Boston.

The Who didn't act their age at Fenway Park Tuesday night, playing some of their greatest hits with the energy and passion of men half of Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend's age.
