Quotetatters Anyway, it's more than a little disappointing, but I've come to expect this from them. They always say at the start of every tour that this time, they're gonna dig deep into their catalog and shock and amaze their hardcore fans, and then, unless they're doing all of Tommy, or all of Quadrophenia, it's always the same old hits, and of course, they are tour

Well. That’s clearly “greatest hits” type of set list, which is what The Who have been doing since 1999, excluding the Quadraphonia tour. If Townshend played all this on electric guitar, then I would be pleased! All/most war horses are there, maybe not “The Real Me” , but then they put “Listening to you” which Townshend , as I heard more then once with my own ears, said he can no longer stand (“S

I’ll see what king of The Who experience I’m left with after the Dec. gigs I will attend in the UK and if I’ll be left with great taste – maybe I’ll see them in HP too. I hope this tour would be energetic and not a replica of the “Tommy” tour of the late 80’s.

The whole interests discussion is irrelevant for these cases. This is not how "those" people (The Who, the promoters, the distributers) make their money and that is not their motive for pre charging and selling. I'm not even sure that the ticket selling channels (Ticketmaster, eventim) pays the promoters this early in a per ticket pace. They pre sell and pre charge from the same re

QuoteCMH516 What did he say about Entwistle? Some 5-8 minutes of him (HS and a couple of other people) joking about him looking dead while he was still alive and generally dismissing bassists as a non crucial park of rock bands (also mentioning Bill Weiman I think...). It was generally disrepectful in a way I cannot dismiss as "sick humor". It is on youtube somewhere.
