Well you know it isn’t going to be like this show.

This was The Who on top of their game, nobody could touch them live before or since.

But how do you replace John Entwhistle and Keith Moon and still be The Who?!

Easy. They hire a bass player and a drummer to play Keith and Roger's songs.

Keith and Roger ARE the Who.

I had this discussion a few weeks ago. I love Maiden. They do a great job live. One of the best.

But in 2012 when Alice Cooper opened for them, they were upstaged. Alice's band was tighter, more rockin, his vox was in super form...while Maiden was still working out the kinks in their Seventh Son set.

I don’t really remember Cooper’s set. Not to knock him and his band, but I guess they didn’t leave much of an impression on me. Now Ghost is an entirely different story.

Thanks. I have just passed the news on to my youngest brother — a rabid Who fan with about twenty concerts to his credit since his first one in 1982. He will no doubt be at several on this tour list. He now has the time, means, and contacts to travel to the best venues and get a seat in the first row or two — and then talk endlessly about the experience as if he was still a teenager.

Great band. Though a little tough for me, relating to Townsend’s later “research”.

Seems like yesterday (1989) they had their “farewell” tour. Maybe they can get Lynyrd Skynyrd to open for them like the Quadrophenia tour. Yawn

The Stones haven’t had two or three farewell tours in the last 30 years

I wouldn’t even put The Who in the top ten of greatest rock bands.

Alice was much better when he had Hunter and Wagner in his band.

Their first farewell tour was in 1982. Saw them then, and in 1989. Was a huge fan, still like their music, but live? In 2019? No.

They were horrible at the Super Bowl several years back.

For years I didn’t know they did “Eminence Front”.
GReat song.

It sure is. I was in college when that album came out, and worked part-time in an electronics store - had all the big name audio components of the '70s and early '80s... Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz. John Entwistle's bass in that tune sold a lot of the *big* speakers.
