The Who can still make a wonderful racket! Not bad to pull of a double album for a one off charity event eh.....

Sounds like a great gig, as happens at the RAH a mate of mine bought a face value ticket on the day from the box office, must remember to do that myself next time! Looks like they will be venturing out again before long though so see ya then, Paul.

Did they play every song from Quadrophenia or a truncated version Nikolai? I went the night before to see The Specials and that was excellent. Very pissed off to have missed seeing Quadrophenia. I haven't missed many Who shows in London since 73 - when they played Quadrophenia at Sundown Edmonton. Did they do any other songs?

A wonderful racket indeed. It was great. I read an article a few days ago somewhere or other in which Daltrey said that this may well be (have been) the last time they perform Quadrophenia, he recognised that his voice was weakening and he was no longer able to pull some numbers off - or at least he was finding it increasingly difficult to do so. But he did then go on to say that the Who had no intention of hanging it up for good, it's just that they'd have to limit themselves to material that was in keeping with their slightly diminished abilities .... age age age age age !! Roger may well have been speaking for himself, but Pete remains as ferocious as ever on the guitar, an awesome force.
God bless the Who, long may they reign over us.

Great Nikolai, thanks for the first hand account! Very cool you were there! WOW! HE delivered on Love Reign O'er Me!??? Impressive! How were the instrumentals? And did Pete sing I'm One?

Know what the coolest thing was? They didn't play an encore. It was just the album and that was it.

Hopefully Pete's new ear monitors provided him some good results so that the band's future is in better standing.

great photos, Pauly - the Who's website are requested fan shots from the show - you should definitely send your's across.
