Hats off to Page/Plant, they are not trading their legacy for a few coins. Don´t call it The Who, don´t call it Townshend/Daltrey, Tom & Jerry or whatever - just simply call it off.

I could care less what they call themselves --- call it Pete and Roger. I mean I didn't really care that they didn't call it Led Zeppelin when I saw Page & Plant.

The SHOWS are always great nowadays from an entertaining point of view (the sound, the light-show, the video-walls, the gigantic stages). All of that is camouflating that often the artists - in this case Roger/Pete - are actually done. Put them in a small venue with three spots only, no videos, no special effects and you might be surprised how poor it would be.

well, it's really hard to see them shrink to U2 size…

Of course it is disappointing that the Stones did only record two albums since 2000. But at least the band is still rightfully able to call themselves The Rolling Stones (Roger/Pete are NOT since they lost core members that just can´t be replaced). Although the Stones are on a creative low level they still put on a show bursting with energy. Mick´s voice is more or less 85% what it used to be, Charlie is still a steady drummer, the guitar department is sometimes on, sometimes off just as ever. All in all they seem to be much fresher and less worn out & tired.
The group of musicians that travels as "The Who" is suffering from lack of energy, passion and last not least credibility. And their lead singer´s voice isn´t more than 35% of what it used to be (sad but true, listen to several live albums they released since 2000).
Btw, Pete nowadays sings horrible too. He´s rather bawling than singing.

Those L.A. shows were in ‘80. I saw one of them at the L.A. Sports Arena.

Again '82 - they were just OK (The Clash opening were better imo).
2007 - really weak, Rogers vocals bad and Pete not loud enough.
2016 x2 at Desert Trip - FANTASTIC!
Have reasonably priced tix w/decent seats for all three nights at Hollywood Bowl in Oct., but might have to sell show #2.
Looking forward to them, orchestra and all!

It's a few years ago now but I saw them twice at 02 Indigo in London (the small club inside the 02) and they were great so I beg to differ
