Ok I do have to agree with those people that said the 2002 tour wasn't the 
same without John - that is obvious. But I saw them 3 times for Quad and in 2000 
and was lucky enough to meet John in 1998. I still enjoyed the 2002 tour - 
not as much of course but it was still awesome to be able to watch Pete and 
Roger have a great time and still play pretty damn awesome. Granted I was sad to 
see the tribute to John and not hear that fantastic bass solo in 5:15. And all 
I can say is thank god for Zak because he is so close to being Moon - without 
the craziness of course. 

But I do understand those who don't want to be disappointed because it is sad 
to see someone else standing in John's place. However, I agree that you will 
miss out on great opportunities if you are always afraid of being 
disappointed. I respect Rog and Pete for going on because that is probably what John and 
Keith would want. And I am praying they keep touring in the future and maybe 
make some new music. As for the name thing - I say do what Page and Plant did. 
Tour under Daltrey and Townsend.
