Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V3 #641



Re:Pete Townshend's Deep End
You're kiddin, right?
Remember IT?  I watched that tape until it became unwatchable and then
watched it some more!  I used to dream that Townshend would come and do
some shows like that here in NY and when I met him at the Jones Beach when
he was walking to his limo I said Thank You for making my dream come
true!!!  Psycho was different with all the theatrical stuff, but it was
still a Pete solo thing and I was in heaven!!! It was also during that
period (93) that I started to meet up with other whonuts and learned that 
I wasn't the only one of my kind.
God Bless Pete Townshend!
