In the midst of their brief North American tour, The Who performed several songs on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (July 19). The group are doing 14 dates in the U.S. and Canada including their first Las Vegas residency–at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Tickets for all U.S. dates are on sale here and here.
