Mine, too.  I've listened to the Young Vic disc about 4 times & I'm 
just overjoyed with it.  

Man, hearing those gurgles & swoops by The OX!  Fucking brilliant!
And Moon!  As if we needed reminding that he's the best & most or-
iginal rock drummer of all time.  All you can do is laugh & shake
your head.  I mean....*who* plays like that?!

You're right, Jon, Daltrey sounds hugely powerful.  What command.
What force.  What passion.  What professionalism.

Townshend makes the most mistakes of anyone & seems to be a bit ap-
prehensive at times.  But so what.  I could listen to Pete & The Who 
make mistakes all day.  My trousers would still end up soiled.

I just love "Time Is Passing" from this disc.  All my friends hate
that song!  Fuck 'em!  It, too, is brilliant.  "I'll be free-ee-ee!!"

And yes, Jon, "Love Ain't For Keeping" is quite the rocker.  Fuck "I
Can See For Miles," why didn't the band play LAFK more?!

In "Road Runner," Keith messes up a bit & then Townshend drags the 
song out too long.  But there's still some nice interplay between the 
two.

Phew!  I'm going to Cincinnati this weekend (hi, Rob!) & can't wait
to jam this Young Vic concert again on the drive down.

Mark, I know you're happy.  You've been dying for them to release this
sort of thing.  Maybe San Francisco '71 will be next.  Or Philly '73.
All I know is I want more.  More.  More!

LONG LIVE THE WHO!!
