quick autowest review

Least of the first 3 shows, but still great.  Pete was a bit more subdued 
with jumping, but still worked his ass off.  Focused more on passion and 
skill tonite than showmanship.  It was all still there, the windmills, etc, 
but not the fire of the shoreline show (but how could it be?).  Roger's voice 
was damn good, again, but he had a couple of rough spots.  This is to be 
expected w/back-to-back shows.  If anyone has seen the power and effort roger 
is singing with right now, you'd understand.  Zak great as always, and 
pino's, john's bass solo was the best so far, and i thought overall this was 
by far his best performance.  He's loosening up.  I kind of like his head-bob 
as he stays with the beat.  I guess evidence of john's greatness is that he 
never had to tap or sway or bounce to keep rhythm... it was just part of him, 
i guess.  Overall the performance was about what i expected for a third 
performance after the emotion of the past week, but the band certainly didn't 
short change anyone.  The effort was great.  Thank you WHO!!!!  Just as Keith 
is present in the drumming in nearly all Who songs, John's bass lines are 
present in ALL who songs.  One of the reasons the songs can sound so great 
even w/o john is how great his original bass lines were in all those songs.  
Long Live Rock!!
