It was unstructured for most of the tour, but they nailed it pretty damn 
well at Manchester.  I agree that the lyrics could be expanded quite a bit, 
as most of it was instrumental, but I think they should do more heavily 
instrumental numbers.  They would orchestrate very well.  :)

BTW, what would the critics think if The Who released an entirely 
instrumental album?  Wouldn't that throw everybody for a loop?

I suspect he's noticed they do that, and he'll avoid the deadly wording from 
now on.  ;)
