    Like myself, I am sure you have been to many shows, and seen many bands.
    This production of Quadrophenia, by Daltrey and Townshend..
    Is EASILY one of the BEST concerts I have ever seen.
    And I have seen a few bands in my lifetime.

    Go to the show.
    You wont regret it.
    Take me piece by piece.....

    I had no idea that Simon Townsend was such a good singer. He wasn't part of the band when I saw them over 20 years ago. But I enjoyed the hell out of hearing him sing in Montreal.
    It's nice to be nice to the nice.

    Simon is very talented and easily overlooked because of his famous brother. I would love to hear Pete and Simon sing together--when brothers harmonize, their voices sound great together.

    good times...

    they had the old drummer sing a song while the band played.....i was like wow. that was pretty cool

    you were right about allstate, and maybe it's because of where i sat, but the sound was aweful. i'm guessing the ceiling with all the wood trusses plays a big part into it. UC is a way nicer venue. the whole stair thing sort of blew

    it would rank behind radiohead st louis and pearl jam philly as the 3rd best show of the year.

    i forgot to check for a merchandise booth on the way out......i would have picked up a tshirt...i'll have to check their website.

    quite a few empty seats. the person i bought from had 4 and only was able to sell 2 at half price. took a bath on those. :lol:

    You're lying. That makes no sense. You only need 1 depends, or what's the point?

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm taking 3 of my sons to their first Who show in February and they will be 9, 11 and 13.

    Starting 'em off right, I see.
    I like both age groups getting a little Who. What cracks me up about taking my sister is her asking "Are you sure you don't mind going to another show? I know you've seen them before."

    MSG: started around 8:30, definitely don't get there later than 8:30! Ended almost 11:00 as well. They played straight through pretty much. Don't think Townshend or Daltrey left the stage at all. MIND BLOWN!
