This song from LIFEHOUSE was always one of my favorite Townsend songs that I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) ever was released on a Who record. I first heard it on the Scoop LP back in the early 80's. That this song wasn't included on Who's Next just shows how good that album is. In case you've never heard it: Mary - Pete Townshend - YouTube
What I do not see there, sir, is everything except what you did.
The last time I saw them was on the Farewell Tour of '82 in Orlando. One of the warmup bands that afternoon was the B-52s, but one of their band members got hit with a [insert a phrase that meets with forum police approval], thrown from the crowd, which brought their set to a screeching halt. It was quite clear that the audience was there for maximum R&B: not new wave.
When The Who finally got to take the stage, in the late evening, John got to step up from behind his stand-mounted brandy bottles and do "Boris the Spider" and "My Wife," and the whole band, including Kenney Jones, was in rare form. The entire audience was one that night, especially when the band did their anthemic and thunderous rendition of "See Me, Feel Me" ... and the obligatory transition into "Listening to You" -- a song that has always floated on the Ox's bass -- did its magic by lifting everyone off of their asses. A beautiful scene that I was very proud to witness.
Snood was a real young Hi Skoo Snood back then
Now you're talking... The Capital Center. That was my "home" arena. I probably saw 50+ concerts there between 1977 and the time it finally closed. Good memories.
I was at that '82 Who show. The guy in front of me went ape-shit for the entire David Johansen set and then slept through the entire Who show...
the whole throwing things at their opening act was probably a "must have"... I saw them in Philly in Aug 25 1982 and someone threw a beer can at Joe Strummer or Mick Jones, who , without missing a beat, DRANK the almost full can and threw the empty can back at the crowd..The last time I saw them was on the Farewell Tour of '82 in Orlando.

-- but seeing them with The Clash would've been even better. Man, that really sounds like a killer concert!
Actually, I'm sort of glad. Spreads out the spending a bit more.
Yeah, just in time for the Christmas shipping logistics nightmare like last year.It seems like with the lack of pre-order announcements for items mentioned, such as Turn of A Friendly Card, GGs Interview, Holidays in Eden, Red Noise and others makes me think a lot will be released in November- I hope
