Sorry, I did not make that connection.  (d'oh!)

No, I only went to the Atlanta show. And wasn't backstage...actually I have 
passed on two opportunities to go backstage at a Who show, because I'd rather 
not. But that's another topic... >>

Perhaps a more interesting one, at that.  It has been my experience that they 
don't really make themselves available to meet the backstage guests.  You 
just sit in the little room until you figure out that no one is going to show 
up (well, Rabbit or Zakk might make an appearance).  The only exception was 
Houston in 1989 when I met them briefly as they were walking around in the 
corridor in the Astrodome after the show, before going to the Van to drive 
away.  Has anyone had any different experiences?

(Actually, Pete was in a golf cart because he had twisted his ankle jumping 
at the end of WGFA.  His hand was already bandaged up from impaling himself 
on the whammy-bar in Tacoma.  We were glad they only had one more show to do, 
or Pete might end up killing himself by the end of the tour).
