No, I'm not calling you a novice. 20+ years of
listening/collecting is nothing to sneeze at and
you appear to know what you're talking about. 
I was simply surprised that you couldn't tell 
the difference. (Attribute the confusion to the
limitations of not being able to speak in person). 
Here's the post:

Is that where the "I'm Free" from the WBWB video comes from?
You have the whole show?  Pete did "the slide?"

"Happy Jack" from the "Maximum R&B" video is from 
the same concert and the date is given in the liner 
notes. Perhaps you missed that but I thought you 
would have clued in on the clothes or Pete's lack 
of facial hair.

>Wanna stack up our Who collections & compare?  Do ya,.....punk?

We could do that but counting pieces would take up 
much too much of our precious idle time. :(

I must agree with you here. Well, you like The Who,
(and The Banana Splits), so at least you have decent 
taste.

I guess you don't play a musical instrument, then.
Any guitarist will tell you that playing along with 
the TV/stereo/radio is nothing unusual. Great way to 
learn songs and practice leads. Amazing resources such 
as www.thewho.net/whotabs wouldn't exist otherwise.
