PNC newspaper review

["Kipp, David G." <KIPPD@PCMAIL01.SYSTEMS.GEC.COM>]

The following excerpt is from The Newark Star Ledger 8/4/97
     "The Bold Who also expressed itself through the inhibition-free 
showmanship of Daltrey and Townshend.  They're both in their 50s, but 
strutted and cavorted like adolescents, Daltrey hurling his microphone in 
the air and then catching it, Townshend playing crashing power chords with a 
windmill-like motion.
     The Who wasn't all flash though.  The second Who personality, the 
Virtuoso Who, expressed itself through Entwistles's funky-but-fluid extended 
on 5:15, Townshend's impossible fast strumming on Drowned, and Zak Starkey's 
intricate rolls and fills."

The article was generally positive, but the writer did get his jabs.  He 
writes, "Even the remarkable fit-looking Daltrey showed his age when he 
tried to roar like a rebellious teenager, but could only muster a feeble 
shriek."   He continues, "....following the Quadrophenia set with 35 minutes 
of encores weighed down by lethargic versions of songs that fans surely 
wanted to hear."

BTW, I recommend the Who mouse pad. (which I'm using now, $10).
 When the Who first played In America,  I wonder if they ever realized they 
would be back 30 years later selling something called a mouse pad?
