Re: Multiple Shows



Having looked over the band's history (a little) I think the Who's redundancy in
their set lists come from the trauma they still feel from the 1973 Quadrophenia
tour.  After having so much trouble with a set list of new music, they ran for
cover in 1974/5/6 with a list made up of oldies and discovered that, by playing
the same songs every night, they could give better performances and get good
reactions from the crowd.

Ultimately, of course, this approach helped kill the band since, except for
their albums, they stopped taking chances.  Believe it or not, The Who are often
a very insecure band.
