Well, I'm a sheep dipped Beatle fan. And I found Scott's comments prety much spot on. Not taking away anything from their dues paying, George Martins guiding influence, etc. but when you think of the originality of the material on Revolver, the white album, Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Peppers, and all the rest of their group output, this material in the studio is just drivel by comparison.

(And BTW Scott, last year I actually got to see The Who in concert here in Melbourne. An outdoor gig at night in a sports ground after the Australian Grand Prix. That's a band I first took notice of in the 60's when I was just a kid and I heard "I Can See For Miles" on the radio. So it was an incredible occaision for me, very powerful. They took about 2 hours, basically played the Who hit songbook with a number of rarities, some excerpts from "Tommy", (delightful) and also a few songs from "Endless Wire". I'm not sure about the Superbowl lineup but here they had Zac Starchy on drums, (very different and younger sounding drummer from his illustrious dad) Pino Palladino on bass, like WOW! and Simon Townshend, Pete's brother also on gtr.- didn't seem to hear much from him. But a sensational night and interesting to see a cross generational crowd all groove to a band from the 60's and now in their 60's.
I felt sorry for Daltrey as he just cannot make the high notes anymore but gives it everything, lots of kudos from the crowd for his intense effort and left the stage visibly soaked in sweat so you know he's working it.

Also a brilliant light/graphic show and just hard to describe to see Townshend up there in person windmilling away at his gtr and leaping about with those bunny hops he does. The part of me that's still 18 was in raptures.

Definitely on my list of the 20 or so bands you must see before you die.

Hmmmmmmmmmm... now there's a thread idea...!?!?...
