Was fortunate enough to:

A) Get tickets right in front of Pete & Eddie on Letterman after waiting in front of the theater the WHOLE day.

2) Via my brother's gig at Fairfield's radio station at the time, get into the Pete/Ed Supper Club show later that night. Didn't get to meet them, but being at the show was more than enough.

Followed that Supper Club night step by step from Chicago, another magical night for them and everyone lucky enough to witness it.👍

I was maybe 10 feet from PT just off the center getting crushed by the oversold crowd at the HOB, 1999 and PT's guitar sounded amazing! Eddie just had that scowl on his face for the whole 8 minutes. At the 4:35 mark PT starts torturing his Strat...a quote from Eddie to RS "A few years ago in Chicago, I saw Pete wring notes out of his guitar like a mechanic squeezing oil from a rag. I watched as the guitar became a living being, one getting its body bashed and its neck strangled. As Pete set it down, I swear I sensed relief coming from that guitar. A Stratocaster with sweat on it. The guitar's sweat."

Last photo of the night and always a special one as the look on EV's face says it all about how he feels about PT...Check out Eddie's shirt

Yep, the way Eddie interprets Pete's songs is very impressive. He really identifies w/ the lyrics and he knows the catalogue probably better than anyone outside of the members of the Who.

I might have you all beat in terms of T-shirts. This is the shirt I got at the first Who show I ever saw. It is still hanging in my closet in decent condition. Yes, that does say 1982

1982 was the first time I saw them at what was then the Rosemont Horizon. Still have close to 20 Who/PT shirts but, definitely have more PJ shirts.

Those shirts are older than me 😉 very cool you still have them 👍🏻

I'm lucky that those have survived. Not so for other ones... Will have to look for the Who shirts next.

You definitely have more T-shirts than I do. I was talking about oldest t-shirts. This is probably the oldest concert t-shirt I still have. I didn't wear it that much because the baseball sleeves bothered me. My 1989 Who concert shirt has been long gone. I wore that to death. It was the Maximum R&B one. They sold that one again at the 2019 tour - so now I have a new one - and they had it in V neck girl sizes - so that is even better.

Yeah. I do have some old ones. Shrunk in the wash....

That Lolla shirt is classic. Every one of those bands is amazing.

Speaking of 89' I have a great tie-died Tommy shirt from the Alpine Valley show I attended although it probably was my least favorite show of all Who shows, the Who on ice...Still a great night and AV was sold out for all 3 nights, 135,000 Wholigans congregating for all the right reasons.

One of my all time favorites

I was 15. My boyfriend took me. We had to camp out overnight for tickets. I lied to my parents and told them I was spending the night at a friend's house. That was the first time I had ever camped out overnight for tickets, but certainly not the last. The camping out for tickets was almost as fun as the concert itself.

It sure was lord I can't count how many times I camped out on the sidewalk in front of Flipside for tickets...the sun rising in your eyes wasn't fun after a nights worth of shenanigans but, kids today just don't understand
