Re: WATFORD -2000 Tour vs 2002 tour

["irish dave" <irishdave7@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I  think anyone who was at watford will have to vouch for the 2000 
tour..many people said it was the best EVER..
i just got a 2cd bootleg last week and listening to it again reminded me of 
the night...
roger's voice was amazing,my wife ROCKED....and the Tommy section was just 
pure passion..

i think some memories are a little marred by the "marble in the throat" 
controversy....which can be relived via the bootleg

other refs this month - UK Maxim mag has 3 articles on the who - review of 
Matt's book and a piece on keith and a page on "drinking geniuses - this 
month:pete townshend"

speaking of Matt's book - the UK cover is a little cooler than the US one- 
more WHO and less swinging 60s...although its merely a matter of taste
