	Yeah, as the guests keep their distance and leer over at Pete with expressions of "you twisted masturbating fuck."

Well, that's one spin.  I suspect most people are a bit too daft to make the connection.  Pedophilia isn't exactly the *first* thought that comes to mind when I think of Tommy.  So, I don't believe this played any role in their decision.

My take is that Pete and Roger simply want to do something classic.  Hell, it's *The Royal Albert Hall*!  What better place to perform Tommy?  And, it's what they played when they first performed there.  So, it's a reunion, of sorts.
Kind of how Pete played SMFM as the closing piece at his re-visit to Woodstock in '98 (that after apologizing about the 'Abbey Hoffman incident').

But, I wouldn't count out the possibility of them playing some new music before launching into Tommy.  They need *something* to warm up with.
