   Many of the "Who Digest" people I have talked to were disappointed 
in the show.
   Personally, I'm glad I went. I wasn't expecting a Who concert. I 
felt the vocals were awful, and perhaps that is why the volume of the 
vocals was low. 
   I feel you have to give Entwistle some leeway---he doesn't have 
the resources nor the marketability, nor, in all probability, the 
desire,  to turn his tour into a sort of Who tribute. (As opposed to 
Townshend, who played many Who songs during his PD tour, and they 
sounded great). 
   The Who songs were OK, but, again, were hurt tremendously by the 
poor vocals. 
   All in all, about what I expected from a 4 piece band in a small 
club.

John, a 4 piece band is no excuse -- wasn't the Who a 4 piece band??  What 
pissed ME off was that we got in there at 8:00 and we didn't get to hear 
Entwistle until after 12:00.  He could have had more consideration for his 
faithful fans -- I was so tired I couldn't stay for the encore, which Stu said 
was great.  Really the only one who was up to par was JAE himself -- the rest 
of the band didn't do that well, IMO.  I wish they could have found a better 
place to play.
