You must have missed the point... The cancelled Euro/South
American/Austrailian tour WAS going to be called "The Who"... The only
"mistake" that was made was that it should have been targeted to the USA
first. My guess is they were trying to "test the waters" without taking a
risk on the stadiums not selling out... Instead, the whole thing backfired. I
wouldn't be surprised if Roger & John continue with this "tour" as "The Who"
without Pete AFTER MSG... Just a guess. It would be a smart move with all the
"Who hype", but while they may be musical geniuses, they're not
marketing/business geniuses...
