Mr_Mcd. I'm not positive but you may be an idiot. The Who totally rock and making jokes about Keith Moons death or John Bonham is totally without class. I realize you're probably joking, but it's over my head and probably below the lines of good taste.

Long live rock

These pictures are not from bostons show. Pete was wearing a stipped sailors shirt that he commented on very clearly.

Get over yourselves it was obviously such a farfetched situation that it was not to be taken seriously whatsoever

actually HWP, they have 2006 release which kicks ass, and pete plays his ass off if you ever get the chance to go see them too.

yeah i was aware of the '06 release. and it was OK not terrible, but not great, IMO. but a follow up seems unlikely and well it had been YEARS before that since the last new album/new original material.

The Who is legendary. With that said, these guys don't make it look as easy as they once used to. If you're going to write a review about the 2008 Who, then you have to mention the man dressed in all black on stage so no one can see him while he fills in missing riffs and vocals when his old man's voice cracks and that's Pete's son. Seriously if you don't know, Pete's son is on stage in the band and holds it all together. He sings to fill up the vocals and sometimes is the only one singing. Just thought I'd let y'all know.

Regardless of shitty jokes about people who are dead, I do believe that the Who are nothing less than innovators of the type of music that we listen to today. If it wasn't for them, we would not have a lot of the rock that we do have. their 2006 release was just okay. They were tring to make another Tommy, which is impossible. On a different note, they are way past their prime, and should just go by Daltry/townsend or vice versa. 1/2 of the who aren't alive anymore, so they should not call themselves that.

I just saw this show in Detroit and it was better than I expected. Pete was really channeling something dirty and raw with his guitar during his solos that night. He still has tons of rock left in his body. Good show and good review.

Pete looks like he can still rip it. Doesn't surprise me.

They should call this the "Who's Left?" tour. Seriously though...Saw them last year at the Hollywood Bowl. They were OK, but nothing spectacular. Rose Hill Drive opened. They kicked ass! Oh yeah, also, Simon IS Pete's brother, not son.
