So 1. Maybe no member of The Who left England to make this appearance
which worried my timeline.  I mean it was certainly possible for all 3 to
fly to the States for a one-shot appearance, but it didn't seem likely
since they had just all gotten together in England for the "Who Are You"
sessions.

And 2. What did they play?  I'm assuming "Avenging Annie" since that's
what Rog was hawking at the time.
