I don't know why so many Who fans have this complex they are apples and
oranges too me.

I don't know if they have played 200 songs live in their career.

conferences anymore."

The Who launch all their tours the best way possible, live in concert.

The opening note of Can't Explain works better.

That apples and oranges thing again.

As long as I know I could care less about anyone else.

Let's aim a little higher here.  I have all the post Moon proshots I can
stand.  Nobody outside of die hards cares about recent tours ie no sales.

Disc 1 Club show from 1964, trust me.  The balance of the disc could be
filled with live clips, TV appearences, promos, etc. all from the mid 60s.

Disc 2 Theatre show "Tommy" 1969-70  pick a show there are plenty.  Again
Tommy era clips could fill the disc.  Young Vic show leading to...

Disc 3 Arena shows "Next" (Saratoga, Denver, etc.)& "Quadrophenia" (Cow
Palace, Landover)

Disc 4 Stadium show Oakland '76, plus other '75/76 shows Houston,
Winterland, Pontiac, Cleveland, etc.
