In the summer of 1993 PT played at Copley Symphony Hall in San 
Diego to benefit the La Jolla Playhouse, the place where the stage 
version of Tommy originated. He was originally supposed to play at the La 
Jolla Playhouse, a much smaller theatre (around 800 seats, I think). This 
was advertised as an acoustic night with PT: "Unplugged, Upredictable," 
or so read the T-shirts. Needless to say, I and other Who fans of mine in 
San Diego at the time were psyched about this show. However, that 
performance was cancelled, at PT would up playing with the whole band and 
the actors for Psychoderelict at Copley Symphony Hall instead (a much 
larger theatre that accommodates about 8,000 people, as I recall). The 
show was great anyhow. He did a stirring version of "Girl From The North 
Country." A week later, he did his pay-per-view in Brooklyn.
