I wasn't stating it as any sort of criticism, just wondering if people 
noticed.  Roger was probably caught up in the energy and emotion of the 
concert and his brain just went back to that verse because he sort of forgot 
where he was in the song.  I had the same thing happen to me in our last 
dress rehearsal of the play I'm in at our school.  I didn't realize until 
midway through the last verse of a solo that I had sung the same verse twice 
and had to sort of rescue it at the end of the song.  Very few even noticed.  
The concert sounded great, though.  And, yes, I definitely don't care that he 
missed it, either.  I am also thankful that the Who's live sound is so 
different from their studio stuff because it keeps the songs so fresh.  Can't 
wait for the West coast shows and MSG #1.
