Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V9 #25
I can't get to the concerts at Portsmouth and the RAH and don't know about
the summer tour (I've only just joined the list) - will there be any more UK
dates? I haven't seen The Who live for several years and I am desparate!
Is this list the place to be to get advance notice of future concerts? Last
year I heard about all the UK dates too late to book.
Any information would be very welcome.
