Actually I think they should've stopped calling themselves the Who after 
PT shot his load on the '79-'81' US-European tour.  Reasons being that it 
would've been the perfect farewell, with the Who's three remaining 
members willing to put a %110 effort on the tours.  The problem you have 
is that "without Townshend and Moon they are Daltrey's band", woah I'm 
excited.  
Christ,  where does the energy and improvisation come from???  Zak Starkey?    
You sir are identifying why the Who were what the WHO WERE and WHY they 
are considered one of rock's (if not the best, let's be daring) best live 
bands ever.  You're going to tell me that Entwistle can play off Starkey 
like Keith Moon?  Can I use the same drugs you're taking?  It makes me 
sick to think of the Who in their prime that lacked the imagination of 
Keith Moon.  Are you enjoying seeing the beach boys yearly at your local 
pavillion?
