According to Newsday, "the smoke's impact was almost immediate on his voice, which went from crystal clear and potent for the opening 'I Can't Explain' to something rougher and more limited during 'I Can See for Miles.'"�

After the show's fourth song, "The Kids Are Alright", Daltrey repeated the urgency of the issue, saying "Either stop it or the show will be over. So, it's your choice. I can't do anything about it, I'm doing my best."

Townshend then joined in the crowd's chant of "Eat it!" before adding, "Shove it up your f***ing ass. It's the quickest way. I think it's quicker than eating it."

"..and by far the most pleasurable," joked Daltrey in an attempt to lighten the moment.

Two songs later and the singer had had enough. "My voice is shutting down," said Daltrey. "I can do nothing about this. I'm close to walking because whoever is doing it�it's coming my way.

"F*** OFF!," demanded the singer.

"It's medicinal," joked Townshend as the band launched into "My Generation."
