Eric: I too would probably rather see the future works be issued under something else, maybe just under their own names. In fact, that might be a better suggestion, since they wouldn't have the weight of The Who's legacy on them. They'd be free to perform whatever they wanted live - it wouldn't have to be a greatest hits show like any Who show is likely to be now. Given Pete's stubborn personality, I doubt it's likely anything they do will be called anything but The Who. But, like I said, I think that what they come up with might just live up to the moniker. Pete's got a lot of demons to work through after the past year . . . ]]>

$16 isn't pricey. No way. And I am a little disappointed - I thought you were talking about the Gorge show. :) Oops - nevermind 16 pounds sterling IS "a bit pricey" ]]>

Therer is nothing wrong with carrying on, but I think they should call it something else to acknowledge the importance of the missing half of the band, and they were a real band where the sum was far greater than the parts. I am also still really pissed at John for being such a dumbass at such an advanced age. ]]>

Those early shows must have been very emotional for the band and fans. I can't imagine having seen them literally just days after John's death. Pino Palladino's one of the absolute best bassists in the world, but having someone else stage-right must have been very difficult for those long-time fans, the ones who were there for the Keith Moon days, to handle. I don't know whether you're interested or not, but you can order a copy of the show you saw. A bit pricey, but a great keep-sake. I actually forked out the cash for FOUR of these shows (for the few "rarities" they played at various shows.) ]]>
