If that's so, then why was his bass turned down so low at MSG?  I realize 
everything had to be quieter for Pete's sake (no pun intended) but I think the 
Who could have pulled off a "Yes" performance, that is, blending the bass and 
all the other instruments so John wouldn't have been so left out.  All IMHAIO 
(try to figure that one out, Jen and Aimee! ;-).
