Tales From The Who & Other Crap



Hello there,
 
Does anyone know where I can find a copy on vinyl or CD of "Tales From
The Who." It was a Philly Pa. show at the Spectrum. Anyone going to the
Hartford CT or Greatwoods Ma 97 shows coming up ? I have 3rd row center
for Ma and 4th row center for Hartford. If anyone wants to check out
some very accurate set lists of the shows played overseas up until the
last one in May go to Chris' Who Links and click on Concert Reviews. Im
sure most of you probably have been here. It's a very good resource.
Check it out. If anyone is from CT let me know. I'll tell you a great
place to pick up some live CD's. Only 10 day's till the set lists start
appearing for the US tour !!!!!!!!!! 

Drink some Gin it's Summer Time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
