I don't know about better, but I wouldn't say it was worse.  It was
more like the Who, I think.  As someone else commented, how much could
Keith Moon have done w/ Quad, it's so structured.  There's no room for
nayone to let loose.  Even the lead guitar riffs sounded awfully
planned out to me.

The encores on the other hand, had real communication going betwee
Pete & Rog.  It was the only time we really got to see Pete *play*,
which for me at least is always the main attraction.  Great songs,
great interpretations, and seeing Pete & Rog having fun w/ the
material.  It was like a totally different show that was just as good.
