Pete sounds okay most of the time, Roger sounds great the first few nights, but then starts to get a little rough around the edges. After a few nights off, it's back to pretty good.
I've never really listened to them too much except for their hits, and now I've already done 65 concerts since last May when they went out in Europe.
They're doing 16 dates for the last leg of the US tour, then head back to Europe in May again to finish the last 34 shows.
The cool thing about all of the proceeds for the CD's & The DVDs, is that everything goes to their particular choice of Charity rather than in their pocket. I thought that's pretty admirable.

I've been a "Who" fan from the beginning.
Pete Townshend is in a class by himself and Keith Moon was a wild-man to say the least. Entwistle is/was probably my third favorite bassist ever and Roger Daltrey makes each and every show worth watching every minute.
I've seen hundreds of spaced-out musicians perform for the income and I've never seen a Who show that didn't exude performance and musicianship.
Maybe it's just me?
I'd sure like one of those CDs when they are compiled? How do I get one?

Bobby, if you go to www.TheMusic.com it will show you all the stuff through the site of what's available.
For me, San Jose, Ca was a good show,
Also, Hollywood Bowl 1 was good,
I haven't listened yet to the new 3, I'm just now loading them and getting ready to start tomorrow.
They have a medley of new songs from their new album that release Oct 06 called Wire And Glass, it's kind of cool.

I saw The Who at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and was a fan for many years after that. Still consider them to be one of the best bands of the era and Live at Leeds to be the best live rock album ever recorded. However, in my opinion there is not much Who without John Entwistle and Keith Moon. For me, a Who concert today would be rather like seeing a Beatles reunion without John Lennon and George Harrison.

I understand how you feel Rich but if there were acceptable losses (which I say figuratively) I'd rather see John and Keith be departed and still see a Who concert than Pete and Roger. I'm not sure I'd call them replaceable but I won't write them off as long as Pete and Roger are still part of the package.
That reminds me a couple of years ago Jay Leno said the Who would play at the Hollywood Bowl for the First time since '67! And Pete Townsend will go from Smashing his Guitar to Missplacing it!

And when I first saw them at Monterey that's exactly what they did. Got to say that was a pretty impressive act to a fourteen year old kid.
Hey Rich, I'll look for you in the crowd when I watch my DVD.
I know at least one song on there is from Monterrey.

With only Pete & Roger left and both in their 60's, The Who are still one of the most powerful bands in rock history. For all you Who fans buy The Who -Thirty Years of Maximum R&B [BOX SET], it has 95 tracks, 31 tracks previously unreleased. This set is an absolute must buy for every Who fan. Go to Amazon.com: Thirty Years of Maximum R&B: Music: The Who
I was the House photographer for our Clear channel Concert venue here back in '00-'01. When the Who came here I was walking around like I always did with my Camera around my shoulder. Before the Band went on some guys from Detroit, Mi. at the Snack bar asked if camera's were allowed. I told them I was the House Photog, but I asked what kind of Camera they were talking about. One of them took the Lid off his Coke cup and showed me his little P & S Camera he had tucked inside wrapped in sandwich wrap. I laughed my ass off on that one, I told him the Little P & S's were allowed, just Not the SLR types. I took him to the Security guys I knew and they even told them those were aloud. They were sitting in the 2nd row, turns out just about everybody sitting 1-2 row was from from Out of State. One Couple from North Carolina was on their 7th show that Tour!

Beat me to the punch. He's been a first-call kinda player for many moons if I recall correctly.
Someone mentioned Simon Phillips earlier. I think he's been out with Toto.
