Keith probably would've made a few more faces and gestures to compensate 
for the lack of attention.  I remember seeing Simon for the first time 
during the A.R.M.S. (read : save Ronnie Lane, and where was Pete!?!) 
concerts of 1983.  IMO he kicked ass with Jeff Beck (plus the fact he was 
using those new TAMA's with the built in mics).  However my opinion of 
his style waned as a drummer for "The Who".  He overplayed so much on 
"Sparks" that Pete caught him screwing up (with a smile of course).  His 
fills are very predictable and usually the same for every song.  There you have 
it.   However I'll give him some credit on the Townshend '93 tour but 
again he falls in his little traps.
