Actually it ends with WGFA from MSG `96. It was completely up to date, until
this tour. Ah well. Maybe there'll be enough material for a disc 6.
As for the `80's material, yes it seems that they became what Daltrey wanted
them to be...a "professional" band, "going through the motions" as Pete
later put it. That is why it only lasted two years, and the `89 Tommy tour
was more like "The Who on ice."

"Did you ever see the faces of the children/They get so excited/
   Waking up on Christmas morning/Hours before the winter sun's ignited/
    They believe in dreams and all they mean including Heaven's generousity/
      Peeping `round the door to see what parcels are for free in
curiousity..."
