I forgot about that!  On a recent In The Attic, the one we talked about 
where Pete told Rachel she should have more contests...she *did* have a 
contest.  You had to tell her what an object she held up was and she said 
the prize was tickets to see 'us' perform at a club in NY, date to be 
announced.  It was unclear, but I did get the feeling she meant her and 
Pete.  The first thing that crossed my mind was, I hope it doesn't get 
swamped by a bunch of hardline Who fans who start yelling for Magic Bus.

I don't see a problem here.  She's telling us, *this* is what the show will 
be like.  If you're not interested, go see Who's Next play Who songs.  The 
reason I totally forgot about it was that I *knew* it mostly wouldn't be a 
show I'd want to sit through.  I'm sure there are 75 people who'd love to go 
hear Rachel play her songs, and maybe see Pete join her for 'Sunrise'.  I'm 
happy to let them enjoy it.
