Well, I am unquestionably the leader of the band as well as lead singer and I make the setlists.  None of us resemble the members of the Who at all, except that if I permed my hair and dyed it blonde I could look like Daltrey (add shaving body).  I do a whole lot of Daltrey mannerisms, including mike swinging and those windmill-ish arm swings.  I also have started doing split jumps and other jumps like Pete, just without a guitar.  Our rhythm guitarist has been working on windmills with limited success, and he does some jumping.

We have no PA system for shows, nor lights.  We have a few microphones and two mike stands.  We have no money, either, so getting hiwatt amps to produce more of a Who sound isn't plausible right now.  Actually, I sort of enjoy putting our own mark on many of the songs, giving some of them a bit of a different feel.
