    How I envy you. Are you going tomorrow night? Or is that a dumb question?

    I'm not, that's one reason I had to go to this one. Have another commitment. Life has been turned upside down for me a few times in the last 15 months, so I definitely needed this release. So glad I did it. Maybe things in life will start to level off a bit. Fingers crossed.

    Hope you're well Whoprincess. :).

    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I'm getting better all the time. :smile:
    I too have had a lot of changes to contend with the past year, so I hear you. I'm glad you got to go to this. I don't think there will be a repeat.

    Thanks Hedo, I'm so happy I went.

    For those bitching about length of show, first it was a charity gig, not a rock concert, secondly, Who played night before and had show the next in OH.

    Anyone have video of My Generation, loved the funky start, then into pure My Generation rawness. Loved it.

    Definitely was an odd feeling watching everyone leave the stage with the crowd at its peak and wanting more. Thought to myself, alright it's not Pearl Jam so we will probably get on encore of about 3 songs but no, the house lights came on and the stage started getting taken apart. Either way, it was worth it to me.

    I ended up getting the $500 tickets for $100 through ticketmaster when someone posted the price drop was on(thanks to whoever that was!), so that was the closest I was ever to Ed. It was awesome! He posted that row went on sale and I was lucky enough to get it and also enjoy it to myself, there were probably 4 seats on either side of me that were empty(section 110 row HH). I got my moneys worth but definitely wouldn't say that if I spent anymore and didn't have the seats I had.

    I have an extra poster for the show as well if anyone is interested.

    I was in 110 row HH seat 7. We were neighbors

    Plus, The Who aren't doing encores on the current tour. For all you whippersnappers, up through the 70s The Who rarely, rarely did encores. I'm kinda enjoying the throwback format.

    You mean 2010 Stanley Cup defenseman of the Chicago Blackhawks now a CSN hockey correspondent with chronically wet hair...no never heard of him. :)

    Glad to hear you had a great time and everyone was so helpful! I had a blast too!

    He is pretty recognizable!

    VideoGremmie has that one and a couple others on youtube. Can't post them because I'm on my phone but just do a search. They are great quality.

    Glad you got to go and had a great time!

    This concert was awesome. I think for us that see a lot of Pearl Jam shows we are trained to be ready for the 3 hour marathon and so 1.5 hours will always seem short (honestly to me it felt like the show was just getting going and then it stopped). It probably did to Eddie too - ha. He probably wished he could sing another 20 Who songs with Pete.

    I thought Ed sounded great that night. I got to hear Ed sing several songs I have never heard him sing which is well worth the money. My Generation was great as well as Behind Blue Eyes. My favorite song of the night was "She Asked Me" which was a duet with Simon Townsend. It was right in Ed's vocal wheelhouse and he knocked it out of the park.

    Yeah, that's exactly how I felt. Oh well, still a great and memorable show, just had the potential to be epic.
