Who's Coming?
Well, I have just had confirmation from both John Whale and Ticketek that the
answer to the question "Who's Coming?" to Australia is.... no-one. (expletive
deleted).
So much for front & centre.
So much for my first & possibly only chance to see John & Roger.
Cancellation due (as expected) to poor ticket sales. Gee! I wonder why? The
Who were here in 1968 - surely people haven't forgotten them? and $120/$60 to
see half The Who - a small price to pay I would have thought! and that huge
10cm x 20cm ad in the Sydney paper surely would have attracted huge attention -
easily enough to fill the Entertainment Centre! (unlike the discreet 2 page
spreads, bus-stop billboards etc used for the Stones...). Perish the thought of
maybe playing a smaller venue more in line with their current popularity down
here.
Aussie ticket holders should go to their ticket outlets for refund.
So what do I do with my $240? I could buy the box set for $100 which I haven't
yet picked up. Maybe get the WSO & AQO reissues for $60, or the WN gold disk
for $55. Nah, I don't think so - Roger ain't gonna get my $ that eaily right
now (sorry Pete...). I think the Alice Cooper box set is due out shortly...
(sidenote: I now this ain't Roger's fault but I'm really pissed about this right
now...)

and his Buzzard will appear like a genie in a cloud of smoke)
