Yeah, that was *my* question.  I would think, however, that they would've
had that "if-*one*-person-doesn't-like-the-choice-then-we-won't-accept-
him" deal..  I mean, so what if Daltrey isn't a musician; it's not like he
hasn't
put in the time.

I saw Clapton on that tour, too.  My older brother's a big fan & I went with
him.  I like Cream more than Clapton, though.  But you're right, Phil
Collins
was extraordinary on drums.  I've always heard about that story of him
calling
Pete up when Moon died, but I've never really seriously thought about him
playing with The WHO.  It seems obvious to me & yet & I still can't imagine
how it would sound.

> No duets, or Collins tunes - he was just a drummer.

Yeah, I kept expecting a big piano to be wheeled out on stage for Phil to
sing "Against All Odds" but we were spared.  The only thing he said all
night
was "thank you."  He was very impressive on drums.  Beat the hell out of
'em.
