Roger Daltrey kicked off his solo U.S. tour on Monday night in Glenside, Pennsylvania. The singer performed a mix of Who classics like “Who Are You,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and more, plus covers of Leo Sayer, Taj Mahal and Creedence Clearwater Revival. “Won’t Get Fooled Again” required an explanation from Daltrey, who took a moment to note why he no longer performs the famous rock ‘n’ roll scream in the song. “It’s brutal let me tell you, it’s a brutal thing to do.

Roger Daltrey is gearing up for an intimate U.S. summer tour that kicks off on June 10. And while the sets will include plenty of classic Who material, don’t expect to hear Daltrey to deliver the famous scream in “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” “I’m not gonna do the scream,” Daltrey insisted during a recent conversation with Billboard. “I’m gonna get the fucking audience to do the scream. I’ve done that scream for 55 years, and I’ve had enough of it. I don’t even want to try it now; it’s brutal on the vocal cords. They can do the scream, and I’ll do everything else.
