Re: who tours



This is my first post. I'm only eighteen and in college, and I've really 
gotten into Who music within the past few years.  My dad is a big rock 
fan, and has gotten me hooked on classic rock (most notably Lynyrd Skynyrd 
and the Allman Brothers Band -- or shouldn't I mention these other 
groups?). I saw Tommy on Broadway last year and ever since have listened 
to the Who and considered them my favorite group.  All their music is just 
so powerful.  
 I was 12 the last time the Who toured and maybe knew about Pinball 
Wizard at that point.  I would love a chance to see the Who (even if it 
was only the Who in name) or any members on tour solo.  I'm surprised that 
many people on this list aren't satisfied that they got one more chance to 
see the greatest band ever.

          Welcome aboard!  
          
          Geez, man, you make me feel old!  You were 12 in 89--sheesh, 
          I was heading into 25.  Oh well. I'm 30 and that's the way 
          it is.
          
          I think we older Who fans are lucky to have see the Who 
          whenver we did, but we're always gonna grimace because we 
          didn't get to see them at such and such a time (in 1970, or 
          on the Quadrophenia tour, etc.).  We're not bitching, 
          really, we're just now debating over whether it would be 
          worth it to see them tour again.  And I honestly can't 
          believe it would be--only because I know their show's not 
          gonna be what I love about the Who.  If they do tour, and 
          you get a chance to see 'em, do it.  It'll be a great way to 
          make that connection with the greatest band ever.  But all 
          of us older Who fans are gonna feel that they were better 
          some time ago.  To each his own.
