Big disappointment.

Yeah!  What Casey said!   eff'n right!   LOL.

Casey:  How was Rog's mic swinging?   Just kidding!

Seriously, did it ruin the show for you, or do you feel ripped off?

I can understand someone new to The Who feeling ripped off, but
if you're a Who freak and have been paying attention, you have to
factor in the age of the band members and their abilities.  Pete
can get a new pick, switch guitars, rearrange the song for electric
or acoustic.   Roger only has one set of vocal chords.  Oh, and
he also needs the same passageway to breath, swallow and smile.

Which 5 songs sounded good?  Were they in the beginning of the show,
in the middle or the end?

IMHO, if their doing their best and putting a lot of energy forth, I
cut any act a lot of slack.   I cut Roger extra slack because I
know his track record.   This is not objective, but I know how
hard it is to perform in front of a live audience.
