Ha.  Well, I didn't see them out there on one day's notice playing for The 
Who!

During the first five minutes of Pino's first show, his bass was very loud 
and very sharp--really, really unlike John's bass sound ANYTIME during The 
Who's history.   This also empasized how much slower he was playing than 
John, and how big a hole this left in the music.  They turned him down right 
away, and Pete went to work trying to fill up the hole.

You still can't hear him very well.  I had to turn up the bass, but once I 
did, I was pleased with the result.
