In defense of both Johns (the performer and the e-mail author), I wouldn't
expect just any old 4 piece band to live up to The Who's standard, even if
one of the four was once in The Who!

I mentioned a couple disappointments in my earlier posting, but I forgot to

I couldn't see the drummer, and the keyboardist was basically a nonentity,
but Godfrey Townsend seemed okay.  At least he was enthusiastic (in contrast
