The band returns yet again to the cozier House of Blues. March 6. 6 p.m. $49.50-$60. House of Blues. 800-745-3000. www.livenation.com

THE WHO The legendary British rockers may have first said goodbye in 1982, but they haven’t managed to stop yet.

TD Garden. 800-745-3000. www.ticketmaster.com

March 10. 7 p.m. $27. The Sinclair. 800-745-3000. www.ticketmaster.com SARAH RODMAN
