Didn't Pete Townsend have hearing loss circa 1990? How was it repaired?

I don't think it ever was. He just learned to live with it.

Pete talks about his hearing loss. Loud headphone use.

schillid - I was at that aborted Boston Who show. I didn't sneak backstage after though. :-)
I do recall, and I'm pretty sure this is correct, that when they came back for the make up show, it was the one time I saw Townshend smash his guitar.

Townsend is on a roll (from rs.com) : "The other thing I’ve done is looked at the possibility of starting work early — I was going to do this next year — but starting work early on writing new songs for another Who album, as the last one did so well."
Good to hear and heartbreaking when you're a Stones fan of course but did their latest album really do "so well" ?! According to Soldatti it dropped out of the charts like a stone ?

Having just watched it, I don’t know why either ;-) Roger coming in too early on the Bridge, then deciding to bail on singing it completely (and the “know that the hypnotized never lie... do ya?!” moment is a key part of the song’s flow)... how many times had he sung WGFA by that point? Hundreds.
Kenny and Pete are both a good deal more animated than they were in ‘82, so it has that going for it. And John is solid as always. But listening to Kenny’s fills throughout are a clear example of how he wasn’t a great fit for The Who (though is a great rock and roll drummer in his own right).
