Folks are complaining now.  I think they'll just have to suck it up and 
endure, though.  TED obviously like what they're doing, and I rather do, 
too.

I also liked the big band, the first intimation of how Pete's music ought to 
sound orchestrated.  Roger heard it, too, because the next (almost) Who tour 
was DST, and finally the interpretation suited the music, unlike the London 
Symphony's earlier rendition of TOMMY.  Somebody else nailed that 
one--emasculated.  Now I'd like to hear the whole works recorded in 
classical style, but let's have Roger produce and Michael Kamen conduct, for 
gosh sake.

And BTW John's music would sound terrific orchestrated, too.
