My theory when the old time rockers come to town is that you should probably take in the show before one of them "kickes the bucket" .  That was my plan when I heard that The Who were coming to town.  So I packed up my wife and kids and setup camp on the lawn at Deer Creek, and we witnessed a really good show.  Not knowing much about the who outside of a handfull of songs I had no idea what to expect.  We were treated to a very enjoyably audio and visual show.  Nothing like great rock n' roll under the stars

My favorite part of the show was after the "Quadrophenia" portion of the show, we were treated to a few of the classic Who tunes.  Hopefully on the next tour we'll get to see all the classics, then I'll be back again.  One disapointing moment occured when it came time for Pete Townsend to do his classic guitar smashing, he tossed it into the air, went to catch it and it fell to the stage.  Where he left it lay as he left the stage, bummer!  One other note to my roomate John from ISU your Pete Townsend/Roger Daltry impersonations were Right On Target!
