Sequencing at Hyde Park

Jon Karesh, re:

>>17:35 - 19:10   The Live Premier of Quadrophenia   
>>19:45 - 21:15   Eric Clapton & his Band
>>21:30           Concert ends

>>Maybe I'm too sensitive and too concerned with status, but does it bother
anyone else besides myself that the Who is not headlining the Hyde Park show?
Clapton is big, for sure, but the Who is bigger and more important and should
go on last.  The Who shouldn't be anyone's opening act.<<

Well, for starters, I don't think this QUAD thing has been billed as THE WHO.
 Second, The Who haven't done anything new in years, Clapton has.  Third, the
Who have been "dead ducks" in Britain since before Keith died. 

Also, you say the Who is "bigger and more important" than Clapton.  I am not
a Clapton fan by any means, but the term "important" is not easily defined in
the scheme of anything, let alone rock and roll.  I think you're getting your
knickers bunched up over nothing.  If you want to see Pete, John, and Roger
live together, then that's what you're getting.  It's not the Who NOW because
they don't exist as a creative entity NOW.
