Nope. That was Simon Phillips in '89. Zak *Starkey* played with them on
the 96-97 Quad tour, and last year's shows. Zak is the son of Ringo Starr.
Keith gave Zak his first drum kit.

That would be a fairly useless comparison, since in 89 they played as a
bloated 14 piece or something in that neighborhood. This time, they are a
stripped-down 5 piece, with Pete on electric and the only guitarist.
The Who are well worth seeing, even without Keith, IMO.
