Fwd: Article about Denver date



Forward from O&S:

> This is the article to be run in the Rocky Mountain News
> Monday about the September 19 show:
> 
> ==================
> Fans of The Who can rejoice: After nearly skipping Denver,
> the legendary, rejuvenated rock band has added us to their
> summer tour after all. "Greatest rock band in the history of
> the business, them and The Stones,'' said promoter Barry Fey,
> who will go on 103.5 The Fox at about 7 this
> morning to officially announce the Sept. 19 Fiddler's Green
> show. "They're still the best show I've ever seen in my life -
> June 9, 1970, Mammoth Gardens.''
> Fey originally had an offer in for the band to kick off the U.S.
> tour here on June 26, but guitarist/leader Pete Townshend
> decided to start on the 28th in Las Vegas instead.
> "We were afraid we'd miss the whole thing,'' Fey said.
> There were hints that a fourth and final leg could be added
> to the tour, so Fey began calling Townshend's tour manager
> on a nearly daily basis. "I called every day. I think I gave
> them one or two days off in the past two
> months. I got him at golf courses, shopping malls,'' he says.
> The show finally got nailed down this weekend. Tickets will
> be priced at $150, $100 and $39.50, and will go on sale June
> 10. However, the band is offering an early Internet onsale by
> signing up at www.thefox.com,
> www.kbco.com or www.hob.com. Unlike the Rolling Stones'
> recent $60-per-order online presale, the Who's will be free.
> Fans can sign up through Wednesday,
> with the presale starting on Thursday. If you're not online,
> don't worry: Good seats will be held for the public on-sale.
> Fey's only regret is he'd hoped that The Who and The Stones
> would play Denver in the same calendar year; that's never
> happened before. But the Stones' date at the Pepsi Center.
> with another promoter, is Feb. 1.

> ====================
>  I assume you'll find it here Monday:

> 
> If you want to listen to promoter Fey (9 a.m. EDT)
> http://www.thefox.com/listen/index.html
> As you can tell, he's a huge fan and likely to tell some
> Who stories. Maybe he'll mention some other cities.
