Are we arguing about taste? :-0

Indeed, in you opinion. I'm just comparing the WHO shows I've seen to the 
JEB shows. Songs that just really hit me are "Love is a heart attack" and 
"Shaking All Over".
Seeing The Who is something really special. But after the RAH shows, I 
dunno... I prefer seeing the JEB play. Not only because of the money, but 
also because of the music and fun.
Also; their "Sparks" rocked and made die-hard Who fans cry. When The Who 
played it recently, most didn't even recognise it ("was it played or not???".

And above all, the JEB isn't in it for the money. It's die-hard rockers on 
the road, just for the music.

No comparison... IMO...
