Yes - Entwistle's passing is quite a shock. (A rather depressing wake-up call). You're lucky to have had the opportunity to see the Who so many times! I was privileged only once - waaaaaay back around 1967. Remember Murray The K?? He used to put on shows in the city and he'd present a bunch of different acts at various theaters. The best one I ever attended was a concert with The Who and Cream on the same bill (!!).
Oh God -- I'll never forget The Who's set. They closed the show (naturally). I mean, who could follow THAT?
"Substitute" was (and still is) my favorite Who song and seeing them do it was like a dream come true.
I sat there with my mouth wide open as they destroyed every piece of equipment on stage -- knocking amps over, smashing guitars to smitherines, drums rolling all over the stage!!!!
It was greatest thing I'd ever seen! LOL (Eh - what can I say? I was like, 13 or something)
Ah....The Kids Are Alright, My Generation.....those were the days.
One of the rare bands - so many albums that are classic masterpieces. On any given day, you can't turn on the radio without hearing something from "Who's Next".
Where does the time go?
