I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Pete and Roger live, but I can tell you from watching them on Rock Honors, that they indeed still have it.

Along with the Stones, Beatles, and sure, The Eagles, it is my opinion that "The Who" were one of the "defining" bands back in the 60's/70's. I know I wore out two sets of vinyls listening to "Tommy". I'd love to see them perform.

Me too. I have their greatest hits collection and Their Latest album, but the biggest thrill will be for me to see them live. and God rest Keith and John

I just went to the "official" site for "The Who". Couldn't read the interview with Townsend unless I joined. Thinking it was a a matter of filling out a membership form and getting a password, I did fill it out. It demanding a lot of information...full address, phone number, name...all that stuff. But I did get "signed up" and happily went back, logged in and blistered a trail to the Townsend interview.

WOAH! Can't go there until you "upgrade". So I click on "upgrade". It takes you to another page in the "Store" where you have to pay a $50 package fee to get full membership, a tee-shirt and I think a CD! But until you pay for all of that, you don't get any of the inside stuff.

Just don't do it unless you intend to pay the $50 to join. You can still browse around the site. Had I known that the culmination of my efforts were to pay $50 for membership, I'd never have filled out all of that personal information.

I didn't have to give a credit card number though!

[EagleLady]

I've tried that before. and yeah, they want 50 big ones just to join

This is an old thread, but I am new and just navigating around.

We saw The Who in Dallas about this time last year

Blew the roof off American Airlines Center.

Awesome show, those guys can still rock.

I love the who... I was just listening to them. they are a class act indeed and I really need to catch a live show one day

I like them, but not as much as I did when I was 17-18 years old. Good hard rocking sounds, but Pete Townshend often gets quite preachy for my tastes(Maharishi, the little boy who heard music, etc). They did put out quite a few good tunes. Having said that, I wish they'd just hang it up already(same goes for the Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner, Boston, etc). Daltrey & Townshend aren't the only two who made the who what they were(may Moon & Entwistle RIP).

Top 10 Who songs:

1. Going Mobile
2. We're Not Gonna Take it
3. The Real Me
4. Bargain
5. I'm Free
6. I Can't Explain
7. Tommy Overture
8. Slip Kid
9. Call Me Lightning
10. The Good's Gone
