> Won't Get Fooled Again: Vedder At Pete Townshend Shows
> 
>  [Townshend, Pete: sm-Townshend, Pete]  Nope, that's not a member of
>                                         Blur. That's Pete Townshend
> when he was just a child.
> 
>      We know what a huge Who fan that Eddie Vedder is, so we
> shouldn't be surprised that he was in the crowd at the House of
> Blues in Los Angeles the other night to see Peter Townshend perform
> his favorite songs from the past 30 years. What we didn't expect was
> that he'd sit through both shows, and mouth most of the words. He
> was not in disguise, nor was not donning his usual baseball cap.
> Also in the crowd was "Cheers" cast members George Wendt and Woody
> Harrelson along with John Cusack and old school prog rocker, Chris
> Squire from Yes. Townshend appeared to be in good spirits, and had
> Jon Carin along with him, who's former credits include playing
> synthesizer for Pink Floyd. The highlights of the show were not
> surprisingly when Townshend did the handful of songs he wrote for
> the Who--especially "I'm A Boy, "Young Man Blues," "Quadrophenia"
> and "Legal Matter." He peppered the show liberally with lesser known
> material from his eight solo albums including the never before
> released "Uneasy Street" which was supposed to be on Psychoderelict
> but didn't make the final cut.
> 
> And did we tell you Vedder also was in attendance at the VH1 awards,
> not only hobnobbing with his hero Townshend, but also with his new
> friends Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. Now we have.
