That's why I'm glad. They are going to Toronto and London. if they were going to Toronto I wouldn't go because it's like 3/3.5 hours from here and I'd have to stay the night and go with my family and all that jazz.

But since they are coming to London a 1.5/2 hour drive where they are playing a smaller venue and I have relatives there too. So My cousin (also 16) and I are gonna go. Should be a good time.

Also London is September the 30th whereas Toronto would be December the 4th.

[b]New Official Who site with Message Board :)[/b]

How can they not play Baltimore or DC?

Still many more dates to be announced. Although the above schedule looks tight, this is a 15 month tour. We'll do some checking around. Maybe a bit of complaining at the new site if that board gets up and running:

Lunch, how close/far are you from the nearest gig?

[QUOTE=Lunch]How can they not play Baltimore or DC?[/QUOTE]

They didn't play Holland too ;) and many other countries

I'm like 2.5 hours from Philly.

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]They didn't play Holland too ;) and many other countries[/QUOTE]

Because who cares about Holland? This is America we're talking about, and the nation capital at that.

[QUOTE=Lunch]Because who cares about Holland? This is America we're talking about, and [b]the nations capital[/b] at that.[/QUOTE]

That explains it. Where Bush is, The Who shall not be. :(

Valid point. What about Baltimore though? Or even Detroit, which is near enough to U of Michigan (where I'm going to college).

I'm thinking dates will be added for the east coast when they swing back around to Canada after the one off gig in London. I'm hoping for thr best for you, Lunch.

Yea, it doesn't seem like they would skip the rest of the east coast and then the whole rest of the country.

Lot's of room in October. And November. They say this is a 15 month trek. So all legs of the tour can't be this small. This is not a full east coast schedule, most likely.

It better not, or else I'll fight the Who.


....Townshend, not Daltrey.

Daltrey is a tough old gramps, ain't he....

ohh wel :p

[QUOTE=fwqhgads]2nd level, near the middle but leaning to the right.[/QUOTE]
Those sound good. Congrats. I hope they change up the set a bit. Even Eminence Front and Cry If You Want would be welcome. They did those the first several nights, along with the new 11 minute mini-opera. They said they didn't think the mini was working in front of larger crowds at the moment, but they could of kept the other two songs in. And if they don't want to do the entire mini they can do Mirror Door, Endless Wire, and Mike Post Theme. All those are great songs. It'll be good either way, it just frustrates me that I might hear basically the same set I heard the last two times out, with the exception of Mike Post Theme.

I don't mind these setlists. A bit more variety would be welcome considering the musical background of the players. They can learn and perform [I]any[/I] song. Long Live Rock, Happy Jack, I Can See For Miles, Getting In Tune, Slip Kid, Squeeze Box, Water, Dreaming From The Waste, Young Man Blues, I Don't Even Know Myself....and on and on. All these are popular enough for people to enjoy. Along with three new songs or so. Just throw [I]some[/I] of these in everynight. Hell, when Springsteen came back with the E Street Band they performed [I]112[/I] songs. Different songs. They didn't just have them ready or consider them, but they actually played them throughout the tour. If they can do that, The Who can do a little more, too.

seeing who 3rd row in London, paid 200 bucksfor a ticket

well they have to play

Pinball Wizard
You Better You Bet
The Kids Are Alright
My Generation / Old Red Wine
Won't Get Fooled Again (extended ending)
Substitute
Anyway Anyhow Anywhere
Baba O'Riley
Behind Blue Eyes
Real Good Looking Boy
Who Are You
Drowned
The Seeker
and Love aint for keeping

^ That's the thing. We all want something, don't we? I could knock Behind Blue Eyes, Drowned, Who Are You, and Pinball Wizard from your list and not even think twice. And Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere, as well. You Better You Bet, too. Just gimme some Water, Long Live Rock, Slip Kid, I Don't Even Know Myself, Sister Disco, etc. And you could probably do the same to my request. And they aren't doing Love Ain't For Keeping. Which is kind of my point. If I have a point...


EDIT: 9000th post :chug:

Oh sweet, Jones Beach [I]and[/I] the Garden? Amazing. I'm gonna be-a-gettin' me some Who tickets soon.

If I can witness "Won't Get Fooled Again" live, I can die happy.

Yeah. It seems NYC loves The Who. Ever since the Concert For NYC/9-11 when they kicked arse all over the place. Very emotional and timely set they played. The Who have always been good with mini sets at fundraisers and charity events. No warm up needed. No "getting into it". They just blast off from the start. :)
