Interesting comments on the Brooklyn show D&G. It's true during the show I counted I think 8 people on stage, and thinking that they used to do it with just the 4. But - same could be said for the Stones. That all said - I've travelled to other continents, and will travel Long distances to other states this summer to see the Stones without hesitation. The Who -it felt like a bit of a chore, or a favor to an old friend - but I still enjoyed their show a lot.
They did for sure lack some of the power of the past but they gave it a good go. Bear in mind they've been carrying on for some time without one of the greatest drummers ever - Moon being like 2 or 3 instruments himself.
I did think Roger was 'careful' with his voice, and wished he was louder in the mix. Still, like I said, loved seeing and hearing them again, for most likely the last time.
Another thought on The Who compared to the Stones Few would deny that Roger Daltrey is a magnificent singer. Good looking, likeable chap and all that. But he just has nowhere near the star power of Jagger. Of course few, if any, do. That's why Jagger remains the greatest R&R front man ever, and the definitive rock star. But it was just interesting to see, when Daltrey made the 'rare' move over to the sides of the stage (and I was on the side next to the stage - sadly, not Pete's side who never came over) the crowd got mildly excited - whereas wherever Mick goes, the crowd always goes crazy. Even when I took (dragged) my 20+ year old daughter to see the Stones a couple years ago in Boston, a memory I will never forget is her say
ing 'That's Mick Jagger!'
I won't slam Mick but Roger was the strongest frontman in his day. The Who crushed even Zep like a grape. They'd start out on fire and get better and better each song. Roger is always on mark, no lyric projections or need of shock collar cues. A perfect professional unless you're smoking weed. Still yesterday was nothing like The Who, a step above a tribute band with two tremendous front people.Quote

i'd rather see the stones 10 more times before i see the who but my point was mick was never that strong of a singer compared to roger so one would think mick puts more energy into what he's doing physically onstage to compensate for the voice

As much as I love the Who, they are on my serious shit list. Cancelled show, no reschedule and the FLAC files I bought ( to have my St. Louis and KC show) , now don't work for the other shows ( I DID get 1/2 of Miami.. )
Compared to The Stones Tho Who's current business model is second rate. Awful concessions for merch, very un-artistic stage. Stage costumes reminded me of bands from LOng Island. All these years with the oversized band, inner disputes, pedophile rumors and what some saw as disrespect to their bass player by touring immediately after he died has given their legacy a hit. They seem to be selling out big arenas still and the songs are forever great. Amazing Journey/Captain Walker.. Hard to not love it..BrooklynQuote

Agree. I had a ticket for Louisville and already got a refund. Inexcusable to not have a new date by now. I may still decide to see them there or somewhere else close but I guess that might not be until 2016.

I want to thank The Who for rescheduling Louisville December 4th. It took long enough but I give them credit for finally coming through. And since it will be the last few dates after a month rest I'm hoping they will be in top form. I ended up with a better seat in the process, too.

And me Finally bought my ticket on Sunday night. I'm in GA Early Entry so will queue from early to get right up front. Your section is the only one sold out - tickets are plentiful in all other categories.
I watched the 'Can;t Explain' video. They're sounding good!

3 months for me My 1st Who show was Show 1 at the O2 in March. I scored a Row 5 Front Floor Middle Seat at face value, 9 days before the show. Fantastic band and long time good mates of the Stones too.
