Probably not:-) Blame it on the Who's well known inability to remember
anything factual:-) ("YBYB, our last hit in 1979" comes to mind)

I thought I'd posted this to O&S when I got the magazine a month ago,
but obviously not.

The only way to know what nights are booked is to contact the Albert
Hall direct. Frankly, considering that the dates are only 11 weeks away,
the lack of any press announcement and ticket sales is of more interest.

My guess is that if the shows go ahead, then the Who will do one or two
nights. Whatever else happens, I doubt the Who will do five nights.
