Ask anyone who was there.  If there is such a thing as a 10 w/o John, then it
was here.  I'd say for THIS version of the Who, it had to be a 10.  Not only
was Pete jumping around and windmilling like a fucking madman, but Roger was
stupendous... dumbfounding.  The two of them were going blow for blow like
two boxers.  Pete would hit a combination w/some serious guitar licks and a
set of windmills and a jump with roger counterpunching with some amazing
notes, a few awesome screams, and some major mike twirling.  It all built up
to the most amazing rendition of Sparks I've heard since live at Leeds.
