I've always wanted to get my hands on the complete video footage of their Live-
Aid set.  I taped it at the time  but the fact that its incomplete really bugs 
me.

I know a lot of people bagged their performance but to me it was pretty 
incredible. I had only been a serious Who fan for a year or so at the time and 
pretty much resigned to the fact that I'd never see them live.  It was, I think, 
about 2 or 3 in the morning and when they came on, the sight of Roger and Pete 
wondering around while John was tuning up sent chills down my spine, all to be 
destroyed by one (possibly two if memory is correct) satellite problems.  I seem 
to remember that, along with Queen, The Who's set was one of the longest played  
that day/night.

To this day it remains the closest I will ever get to seeing them "live" and is 
one of my most treasured Who memories.

PS - re: Squeeze Box - I have a Power Macintosh at work and the chord it plays 
on startup, whilst undoubtedly different, makes me think of the opening chord to 
Squeeze Box every time.  I wonder if there are any Who fans at Apple....
