Only a 7.4? Holy Crap, has our deranged society gotten used to the crap music out there today?  |

I love this comment... and agree! I saw The Who twice, but passed on chances to see the Stones (although I would have loved to have seen or had the chances to see them during their "Some Girls" period or previous days...) Almost no other band had the ability to generate movement, like some kind of kinetic engine capable of transporting entire audience halls, and couple it with mind-blowing articulations of anguished feelings common to the human experience, in such incredibly magnificent and lasting ways. Pink Floyd was another, and I am glad I got to see them, too, but there was something so dynamic, so urgent, so poignant about The Who, and it still feels so good to hear them even now!

Wait thought it was 1969
Might have been, I was going by the copyright date and what the cable company put in there info blurb. I was 9 when it was filmed either way. |

Thankfully, there are alternatives to The Who.

Say Daltry recent tour where they played this in entirety. Well done, his voice was strong and he had Simon Townsend with him to filled in on guitar and vocals for Pete. Not the Who but well done

Always thought this sounded kind of wimpy, compared to the movie soundtrack's version, where it's fully at 11.

I have occasionally gone to fancy dress parties as Uncle Ernie. Is that bad? I miss Keith. . . never met him but I feel I have a kindred spirit.  |

She'd still have those magnificent blue eyes. |

Hard to beat Moonie on the drums! Manic, possessed, way out on and maybe sometimes well over the edge of kinetic mayhem...and so talented! Daltrey said on a cool interview that when Keith came up to make his legendary substitution/ impromptu try-out, no one was really paying any attention, and then, "Suddenly, behind us, it sounded like a fahckin' JET ENGINE was takin' off or something!" and Moonie was hired on the spot. Sparks fall from Heaven every time I hear you, Moonie! and you, too, Ox!

On October 12th my daughter and I saw Roger Daltrey performing the "Tommy" in Grand Prairie TX (Dallas). Great show!! He also played The Who's hits. Simon Townshend play very..very well, he honored his brother Pete. Great band.
