I was actually very excited to see 'em & had fun at the show. I was just
happy to get to see TED on the same stage! I started getting into the Who
in '82 & didn't get to see them on that year's tour. So when '89 rolled
around I thought, "Well this is it. This'll be my only chance to see The Who
ever."
So, even though the presentation was bloated, I was still thankful I was get-
ting what I was getting. "Take it or leave it, my son. Take it or leave it."

Har! I had front row, baby! Right in front of OX. Some dude sold me two
tickets he won off the radio ($300.00 for the pair - sounds like a bargain now).
And I wore my Quadrophenia, self-decorated trench coat, which I still have.
I always get compliments on that coat at Who functions. Never let go of the
coat.

Right! If I'd have known what 2000 would bring, '89 would have REALLY
pissed me off!
