RE: The Who Mailing List Digest V3 #618



I saw Quad in Tacoma on October 14th.  The show was fantastic and while
they've lost a little to time, they proved that they still have a power
and passion that the majority of today's band will never be able to
touch!

I heard that the remastered "Who by Numbers" and "Who Are You" were due
in stores on 11/19, but the local chains haven't received 'em yet.
Anyone got 'em yet and if so, do they include any previously unreleased
tracks?  Also, has anybody seen the video for "The Who: Live on the Isle
of Wight?"  I've got the CD (if you don't, go buy it today!) but I
haven't been able to find the video yet.

I would also be interested in buying old programs, buttons, etc. if
anyone has some they would want to part with.

Thanks,

Randy
