I'm listening to the Grand Rapids show that just came in the mail.  As  it 
plays I'm realizing something. The new songs are really making it. They're  what 
I listen for.  I didn't like them as much before as I do now.   True to my 
Who experience.
 
It took me all of my youth to get into the Who. I heard it played by  my 
sisters since  my memory started remembering at age three. Although  I remember 
the Decca 45's in my sisters' collection and the strange album  covers, I didn't 
know what it really was until the end of the 70's.   Donovan's Mellow Yellow, 
the Doors' Light my Fire, Arthur Brown's Fire, or The  Who's I Can See For 
Miles, it was all pretty much part of the same thing  until I heard Who Are You 
and then saw the commercial for TKAA. My mind  clicked right there and stayed 
put.
 
These new songs are Who songs.  Wow.  Those few  guitar chords at the end of 
They Made my Dream Come True then going into  Mirror Door opening with the 
best phrase on the entire album -sounding just  like the Who.  Chills.
 
Comparing this recording to that of the Atlanta show, I see no major  
difference except for Roger's voice being under the bug .  Even so, its  amazing to 
see what he does with that.  Pete was just on fire.
 
The sound is so powerful and clear and the crowd noise is much louder than  
what I heard when I was there.  Perhaps it's a case of where you are in  
relation to the amps.  Dead center is in front of them.  This is the  first time 
I've ever enjoyed a show more at home than in person.
 
I love the sound.  I especially like the colors so clearly  recorded.  If you 
don't have 5.1 sound, work more and get it.
