Who's Coming?



Well, I have just had confirmation from both John Whale and Ticketek that the 
answer to the question "Who's Coming?" to Australia is.... no-one. (expletive 
deleted).

So much for front & centre.

So much for my first & possibly only chance to see John & Roger.

Cancellation due (as expected) to poor ticket sales.  Gee!  I wonder why?  The 
Who were here in 1968 - surely people haven't forgotten them? and $120/$60 to 
see half The Who - a small price to pay I would have thought!  and that huge 
10cm x 20cm ad in the Sydney paper surely would have attracted huge attention - 
easily enough to fill the Entertainment Centre! (unlike the discreet 2 page 
spreads, bus-stop billboards etc used for the Stones...).  Perish the thought of 
maybe playing a smaller venue more in line with their current popularity down 
here.

Aussie ticket holders should go to their ticket outlets for refund.

So what do I do with my $240?  I could buy the box set for $100 which I haven't 
yet picked up.  Maybe get the WSO & AQO reissues for $60, or the WN gold disk 
for $55.  Nah, I don't think so - Roger ain't gonna get my $ that eaily right 
now (sorry Pete...).  I think the Alice Cooper box set is due out shortly...
(sidenote: I now this ain't Roger's fault but I'm really pissed about this right 
now...)
