The Who used to be subversive

Yes, The Who were at one time a symbol of he counterculture. Nearly subversive. Like Lenny Bruce or something. Imagine that.

Who are you?

Yeah it's better when bands breakup instead of playing into their geriatric period.

Glad I was not the only one to think that.... Both Townshend and Daltrey both sounded... off. I just wish Townshend had worn a shirt that wouldn't have come unbuttoned at the bottom. Ewww.

At any rate, Geaux Saints!

Old-age wasteland
(oh yeah)

Wasn't there a song: "Hope I die before I get old", oh yes, it was a Who song!
All I can add is that I once had a suit made by the same tailor as Pete Townsend, and the tailor confided in me that his shoulder blades were like a pair of wings, almost impossible to fashion around!

Agreed. But even more, I wish he had worn his jacket differently, so that every single time he did his windmills, the end of his jacket wouldn't fall all over the strings. I think it caused all sorts of problems toward the end of the show.

And yeah, they weren't sounding all that great, though Daltrey definitely warmed up throughout. His scream sure was more hardcore


Agreed. I'm happy for the New Orleans.

Hi,

I didn't hear it "Pure and Easy" either, it seemed more "harsh and strained". At least he didn't use any expletives on Who Are You on the air.

When I get old, I hope I have that much energy non-stop for 16 minutes.

Although, other than the jacket incident that Matt pointed out, there wasn't any - wardrobe malfunctions.

I didn't see the show, but I know exactly what you're talking about, because he's been doing that for years. I don't know why he doesn't wear a different sort of jacket, but he's apparently got some reason, because it's not a new problem. Maybe it's a backlash against those white jumpsuits he wore during the 70s.
