Pete Townshend said Daltrey had "almost invented the pseudo-messianic role taken up later by [[Jim Morrison]] and [[Robert Plant]]".<ref name="Susan"/> His stage persona earned him a position as one of the "gods of rock and roll".<ref name="Franklin, Gregory"/> He developed a trademark move of swinging and throwing his microphone through a complex sequence, matching these sequences with the tempo of the song that was being played, although Daltrey reduced the athleticism of his performances in later years. According to a review of the Who's performance at the [[Quart Festival]] in 2007:

<blockquote>Suddenly each and everyone stopped caring about the down-pouring rain. When the Who took the stage we couldn't do anything but to reach for the sky and howl. Anyone who has ever thought of calling these gods old men and dinosaurs should be deeply ashamed. The reports we've heard from around the world were true: Live rock doesn't get any better.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.quart.no/-/image_album/show/1270_the-who-4-juli-2007 |title=quart.no |publisher=Quart.no |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref>
