First set: the entire album, virtually w/o a break. Second set: greatest hits pre-Tommy. Perhaps 3,000 fans in the hall. 3 hours plus. Emerged into the night to find that a blizzard had started; 3 hours for the 45 mile drive back to Ithaca, with The Who blasting on the 8 track.

I go stretches without listening to them (Classic rock radio played the brilliant "Who's Next" to death, it's hard to hear it with fresh ears anymore, sadly), but I always return to them sooner or later. I will definitely read Pete's book. The Who By Numbers is perhaps their most underrated album. Also, the other night on my iPod, "The Kids Are Alright" came on and I thought, "Man, this is just a perfect single." One of the great teenage tunes for sure.

But, strangely enough, I've always liked Pete. This book looks interesting. I appreciate them more than really like them. But, strangely enough, I’ve always liked Pete. This book looks interesting.

In my opinion Quadrophenia is one of the all time greatest albums! After that record, they haven't matched their previous success as far as I'm concerned! Looking forward to reading the book!
