A new album?

["Mark R. Leaman" <mleaman@sccoast.net>]

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?


I don't see any other category to put them in other than " Old rock 
band "
