 I first saw the Oooooo in 1972 after listening seriously since'68.
 
 I've now seen 15 shows.
 
 I went to Bridge school with the only expectation of being able to see my 
favorite band in person again, something that I thought would never happen 
again.
 
 The boys blew my wife and I away, as well as the rest of the audience. 
Remember that they followed an exceptional performance by S. Crow, N. Young, 
Green Day, Pearl Jam etc. To say the least they were GREAT!!!! 50 something 
or not.

Thanks Roy for a great post. 
I was just about to post my thoughts to this list and you expressed what I 
was feeling, but I'll send my post anyway (giggle).  Since I have never seen 
the Who (or Roger solo) live in the 60's, 70's, or 80's, the Who are the band 
of the 90's for me. I still cannot believe I have seen them in 96, 97, (Roger 
in 98) and the Who in 99!! I know there are others on the list that have 
never seen them either until the 90's. I am 
definitely looking forward to a tour next year. Not a tour of old men, 
grandfathers, retirees, but a tour just like what I've seen in the 90's. It 
can be all acoustic, electric, theatric, whatever, but I can't wait to see 
this fantastic, talented band that can sing, play, have fun, get angry with 
each other, hug each other, fuss or curse the audience etc.  Janet
