Vegas Who ON PAX

["andrew wiechman" <Jovar1701v@email.msn.com>]

I happened to watch and tape the highlights show on Pax last night and was
very pleased to see the guys,  in good form and was surprised to see how
Roger looks these days.  It looks like he's been layin on the beach gettin
dark skinned and i lookin a little heavier than i expected, and with the
Mcvicar hairdo. Being that i havent seen him since the Quad tour i was
pleased to hear his iron lungs are still intact and able to belt and scream
with their usual intensity.  John as always sounded good but My Wife was
edited out which stinks.And a who show wouldnt be complete without a small
tech problem , (poor Pete having to switch guitars during the 2nd chorus of
Pinball wizard)   I absolutely loved Pete's solo on My generation. It looked
like he got into a slight harmonics tapping sequence near the end using his
pick to screech out some pretty wild and ear piercing sounds, if it was as
loud as those who were there say it was I bet your ears are still ringing
after two days.  But all in all it was quite a treatafter an extremely long
week of working to see that some things will always live on ,long live the
music of the who!!!!!!!!!!
