What a strange pairing for a concert. It's almost as strange as Hendrix opening for the Monkees. I have  alway's like the Who and historically they are an extremely important rock band. Though there is four of them I have always considered them to be one of rock music first power trios. They had great melodies but at the same they could rock as hard as anyone during their time. The early Who to me were a fusion of proto-punk, pop and hard rock which to me equals power pop.

I don't give a rat's ass if people think The WHO are progressive or not or whatever....

QUADROPHENIA may be one of the best 3 records ever recorded.

Just my $.02.

Yeah, Who's Next & Who By Numbers & Who Are You are pretty much top shelf as well.

I'm definitely a Who fan, I have Townshend's autobiography and everything. They are certainly in the top 5 or so non-prog rock bands of all time, for me. Saw them do Quadrophenia live, and that was something. Crowd got really into it, especially during Bell Boy.  Some genius was smoking up front, though, and that apparently interfere's with Daltrey's singing. He had to leave the stage late into The Rock, and there was a long instrumental section before he came back out and finished the album, then ran through a few classics.It was an amazing performance. They're a band everyone should listen to at least once, I think.
