Count me in! I think "It's Hard" and "Cry if you Want"  are
fantastic, first-rate Who stuff - of the caliber that we hadn't
heard since "By Numbers" (and with the exception of "You Better
You Bet".) 

There's a couple others on the record whose names fail me now
which are "pretty good" - still a higher recommendation (IMHO)
than "Face Dances".

September 25. Two concerts were originally 
scheduled, but the tickets weren't moving, so they 
cancelled one, and overstuffed a single show. 

Not to mention the stage, by having BOTH the Clash and 
Santana perform as opening acts. (After "The Hooters". Christ.)

I enjoyed the show a lot, myself. Particular standouts
(from memory) for me are "It's Hard" and "Twist and Shout".

Which I guess brings us to the fact that the "Who Rocks America"
from 1982, w/ Kenny, _was_ an official release, even if it was 
only videotape.
