I think the '89 tour was much more damaging to THE WHO's reputation with 
both the casual *&* the dedicated *rock* fan.  It was a joke of a tour for a 
band known & respected for its live prowess.  Celebration, my ass.  All it it 
accomplished in my book is that it made the 2000 tour that much more enjoyable.
