Apparently The Who have agreed to open up their 2006/2007 tour with a gig at Leeds University to commemorate their classic concert from 1970! For anyone who likes The Who but doesn't have the recording from the original show, I would put it up there as probably the greatest live record of all time. The energy in each song is just amazing! This show should be an amazing one. I only wish I lived in England and not Chicago! Damn...

I really hope I'm able to catch these guys when they swing through the US on this tour. Probably the best chance I'll ever have to see true legends of rock play in my lifetime.

    Just got back from this gig! It was pretty awesome. Pete Townsend is too good to watch.

    No tour dates in the US confirmed yet, but they do say they will be coming at some point this fall.

    Hopefully they will line up some dates and venues soon.
