It was unstructured for most of the tour, but they nailed it pretty damn
well at Manchester. I agree that the lyrics could be expanded quite a bit,
as most of it was instrumental, but I think they should do more heavily
instrumental numbers. They would orchestrate very well. :)
BTW, what would the critics think if The Who released an entirely
instrumental album? Wouldn't that throw everybody for a loop?

I suspect he's noticed they do that, and he'll avoid the deadly wording from
now on. ;)
