Agreed.. a fucking amazing show and what a sight to see live again. A wonderful night even though the old bastards behind us wanted us to sit down during the new songs... told him I came here to stand and sing and enjoy every minute of the show not sit on my hands.

last time i went to see The Who ( actually the last concert i went to out there ) my buddy got arrested for rolling a joint in his car .
Needless to say , kind of put a damper on the show .
This place has really gone downhill, fast, in the last few years.
No beer sales, they keep building up the upper sections ( skyscraper proportions ) - whatever intimacey they once had out there has long been gone.
Filthy scumbags that Clear Channel Entertainment are- i think tommy hilfigers name is attached to the venue now , which once was Miller Genuine Draft sponsored.( when they sold beer )
Funny its called Jones Beach- you arent even allowed to throw down a blanket and lay on the sand anymore.
lots and lots of undercover cops , and people that ask you to sit down at the concert- they cant see. Oh yeah and finally - the 1 hour wait to get out of the parking lots .
enjoy the show
please Pearl Jam, stay far away from Jones Beach .

BABA O'NASTY
'WHO THE F - - - ARE YOU?'
PETE ASKS FANS
By DAN AQUILANTE
September 18, 2006 -- THE WHO The Who play tonight and tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden.
AT The Who's Jones Beach warm-up concert last week for tonight and tomorrow's highly anticipated Madison Square Garden gigs, Pete Townshend was his own worst enemy.
At Wednesday's show, the second performance on the band's first world tour in more than 20 years, Townshend came off as a grumpy old man who doesn't like the fans who adore him. The sourpuss guitarist unhappily and unnecessarily pouted his way through the 21/2-hour gig with sarcastic between-song patter that attacked his bandmate Roger Daltrey, the fans and even his own new music.
After a seemingly flawless rendition of "Baba O'Riley" that concluded with Daltrey blowing a mean blues harp, Townshend judged the rendition worthy of a "Jewish wedding." Whatever that meant, it drew a burning glare from Daltrey, and the tension in the air made drummer Zak Starkey go rigid behind his drum kit.
Later, Townshend diluted his acid with just a hint of humor, calling Daltrey "a rock 'n' roll casualty" just before the band launched the Elvis homage called "Real Good Looking Boy" that references the King's "Can't Help Falling in Love."
Then there was the introduction to "Who Are You?" in which Townshend mused about what it means to be a rock star and, in the final breaths before launching the tune, spat unexpectedly at the crowd, "Who the f - - - are you?"
He didn't have to be that way with the sold-out Long Island house. He was playing and singing well, as evident in the charging opening quartet of "I Can't Explain," "The Seeker," "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" and "Baba O'Riley," during which the house turned choir for Daltrey singing the famous lyric: "It's only teenage wasteland."
Behind wraparound shades and slightly slurred elocution, the real problem with Townshend was the weight of the giant chip on the shoulder that made him defensive and timid about the new song from the band's upcoming "Endless Wire" album, their first since 1982.
No doubt songs such as "My Generation," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Substitute" and "Behind Blue Eyes" got a hotter reception than the fresh "Black Widow," "Fragments" (said to be composed on computer) and the pope-bashing ode "Man in the Purple Dress," but any rocker who has been around for a second album, let alone 40 years, understands fans' devotion to the hits.
As for the quality of those new tunes, Townshend shouldn't have had a concern. They were pretty good, and given a tour's worth of live performance, the gems will certainly emerge from the set.
Both Daltrey and Starkey were very instrumental in making "Purple Dress" - a folky, barroom ballad - one of the more welcome of the newcomers. On that one, Starkey was outstanding, giving the piece an unusual military tattoo where the beats provided a melodic quality much like African talking-drums.
Hopefully, at the Garden shows Townshend will be just as savage when he winds up the windmill and strikes the strings, but maybe he'll also be kinder with the fans and will return some love rather than scowl his way through these shows, too.
