Yes. My dad. Granted he only became a Who fan after watching them at
the CFNY on VH1, but he doesn't want to hear much of anything if "it
isn't like what they played that night."

I've played CDs and videos from various Who eras, but he's not all
that interested unless it's from "Who's Next" and "Who Are You" (oh,
and he likes 5:15) and that ilk. When I played the "Who's Better,
Who's Best" video for him, he was not very interested in the early
stuff. 

And this is all very strange because prior to the CFNY, he never liked
anything harder than Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin -- and what I call
"old school country." And now he's going with me to the first show at
MSG.
