Brian, 

This is exactly my sentiments.  This was the best review I have read on this 
tour- so far- with some very good observations.  

I believe that without Zak, they would have been finished, because it was 
with the addition of him that they regained their spark in the first place.  
He is that important.  He brought Pete back to The Who.  Zak has earned his 
place and is taking charge now.  He is not sitting in anymore.  What a find 
he was!  Now I am just hoping that I get to hear what he can create in the 
studio in this powerhouse band that will not die.

The Who are the ground breakers.   Now they are showing us all what this band 
can do after 40 years.  Who else could do this?  What more is there to come?  
Who am I to say it shouldn't?  I never would have guessed that it would be 
this good, so I am not qualified to say it should stop.  They are The Who.

Jon in Mi.
