Yeah, I find it difficult, too. I haven't revisited the '96 stuff since....well.....'96!
I mean, I was as glad as anybody to see The Who in '89. My first Who show!
Front row. Cleveland Stadium (torn down now). Bought a pair of tickets off
of some idiot who was trying to win a free car off the radio & got Who tickets
instead. I guess he was more into cars.
I was right in front of OX & Steve Bolton (or whatever that Atomic Rooster
motherfucker's name was). Sure, I had a blast, but it was The Who On Ice.
I was happy just to get to see 'em in '89. I was saved by The Who right
around '81 - '82. I missed the '82 tour. I didn't cry, but I remember walking
around my neighborhood in mid-December of '82 feeling kinda helpless.
In '89 I took what I could get. You can't always get it when you really want it.
Yeah, sure it was The Who. But.......
2000 was so far away, wasn't it?
