Gotta seat at the hollywood bowl lastnight to see The Who ... Man can those gents bring the heat .. PT a guitar legend and Daltrey's voice slammin.. great band backin the play it was sweeeeet ...bit dissapointed at the sound and seats .. ..guess thats what u get with dated outdoor venues

i was excited to see the WHO back in 89-90 i think ... in philly ....

i have to admit ... i was very disappointed ... i like some of P townsends stuff ... in general ... i really WANT to like them ... but i just never "got" the WHO .... and most of their songs/albums just seem boring ...

i liken it to the Rolling Stones ... they came here recently and i checked em out .... never really liked Mick and Co ... but ... THEY WERE SLAMMIN ... i am not a big huge fan obviously ... but after seein a few minutes ... i was like .. wow ... these guys put on a show .... the stage ... the sound ... awesome ... "miss you " was my highlight ....

An incredible band, even though only half of them are still standing. The new album, Endless Wire, while not instantly accessible, is a serious grower that I'm starting to love the moreI listen to it. Highly recommended. Just dopn't expect it to hit you like Quadrophenia did. It'll seep in gradually, by osmosis. So immerse yourself a dozen times. After that you'll be humming those tunes. It's substantially better than It's Hard or Face Dances, and it hangs together better than Who Are You.

I saw The who a couple of weeks ago at the London Roundhouse. Small venue (2000 people), but they were absolutely sensational. I've seen them eighteen times since 1980, and the Roundhouse gig was close to the best I've ever see them. Yup, they were that good, even without Entwistle.

We'll have to agree to disagree on The Who.

I saw The Stones twice on their current tour, and they were good both nights, but I've seen them much better over the last twenty plus years. The bootlegs from this tour are pretty average - even on the best nights. I think this may well have been a tour too far, what with all four members being ill - Charlie with his throat cancer (recovered), Ronnie with his booze relapses (he's suffered three deaths in his family this year), Keith's head injury and Mick's throat problems.

oh yes , we can agree to disagree--- my only point was that i didnt like the stones much ... and after seeing them ... i admit i liked them ... NOT that i went out and bought stones albums or anythin ...

the who has always interested me ... but i have not been able to get into them at all ...
