The Who are awesome at the Sandy concert

61. This is why I prefer to see a good cover band instead

of the original live. I still have my CDs and old concert DVDs, and I take solace in them. I can't see paying $100 to see old timers struggling to perform. I prefer to remember them in their prime as intact bands. Also I can see some real good cover bands for free at our summer festivals. Smaller crowds. Just get the lawn chair out, grab a ribeye steak sandwich, and enjoy them.

The Who were magical once, and I have those memories. So much support is just trying to relive the past and not seeing what is on stage now. Of course a 60+ year old man is not going to be able to do what a 25 year old man can do. I won't begrudge Daltrey and Townsend making a buck. Folks don't have to pay for the tickets. The audience gets the opportunity to relive the past. Just count me out. I am going to watch The Kids are Alright instead, and think of seeing the movie with my good High School friend. Also remember seeing them live the only time in 1980 in Baton Rogue with my brother. Moon was gone, but they still had life. Seeing their "Final Concert" in my dorm cafeteria in 1984. I wish that really had been their last concert. Hearing Quadrophenia for the first time while eating pizza with my best friend. Those are great memories.
