What Quad Again ?



Hi all,
I thumbed thru the last few issues and noticed a line about an Entwhistle
chat on AOL where he stated that the shows will be Quadrophenia again.  Is
it any wonder?  Think about it.  The Who doesn't change it's sets very
often and they have ben on the road for about a year now.  In the early
years it was Heaven and Hell Can't Explain  A Quick One My Generation smash
it up see ya later.
Then Tommy was written and basically they substituted (ha ha) Tommy for A
Quick One.  Then in the early 70's Tommy became truncated and of course
they were writing other songs such as Baba Oreilly and Wont Get Fooled
Again, and Heaven and Hell was replaced by My Wife.  The boys briefly
played Quadrophenia and then moved o, building up to Who Are You.  Along
the way The Who played  pretty often and had a weekend of Shows Billed as A
Day On The Green with the Grateful Dead.  The Dead opened the first nite
and Closed the Second nite.  Pete Quiped "I can't believe it The Dead
played 5 hours of music without repeating a song and we have been playing
the same 2 hours for 15 years" of course we all know Moon passed away and
then the (new) Who began playing again ... Substitute Can't Explain  Baba
Oreilly ...single of the period... Who are You  Love Reign Oer ME Wont get
fooled Again  for alost 10 years.  So back to my point.  It is no wonder or
suprise that the Show will be Quadrophenia...Repitition is the only thing
the Who know how to do.  Yep I'll be there again and again and again just
like always ..because it's just like an Emminence Front... Its just a put
on......Ya know...  see y'all at the shows...
by the way... any Tapers out there let me know...I will Tape Hartford....Regards

Once in a while, you get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if
you look at it right.........
