Oh I loved it, too. I just think it might have given the impression that The Who
were now a band that *had* to add a half dozen or so musicians in order to put
on a live show.
I'm sure the '89 tour disapponted a lot of fans - just as I'm sure it was a major
factor in keeping concert-goers away in '96. And by the time 2000 rolled around,
many people had given up.
No, me? I loved the '96 tour. Saw two shows. One at MSG & also the Cleve-
land show. I just feel it (& the '89 tour) may have dissuaded any "fence-sitters"
from buying a Who concert ticket.
