A new album?



If these things follow a pattern, with the pattern being what Pink Floyd
and The Stones have done the last two times out, we will probably see a
live album from this tour. I'm not completely happy about this...I hate
to see The Who fall into the "old Rock band" catagory. And, too, such an
album is likely to be so perfect sounding that it won't be very exciting
(like JOIN TOGETHER) in comparison to the live show.
On the other hand, the show was so good that in a way I wouldn't mind
having such a souvenir. I'd hope they don't make it too perfect, like
they do most of the live albums these days.
Best of all, and possible if not likely: a new studio album. If
Townshend has indeed come to terms with The Who, as it appears he has,
it could happen. Perhaps even the abandoned Siege project Pete was
working on in 1982? I'd love to see that.
But...I think it would be better for them not to release a studio album
if it's not great. A mediocre album would be worse than none at all,
IMHO.
What do you guys think?
