Pete Townshend is the eternal teenager, just jamming with his band onstage.

[@gregcruse4647]

Saw them twice in Birmingham , England in 2000 and Townshend was astonishingly good

[@danielceo4694]

I was also at this concert with a couple of college pals. We loved it! This was a great concert. The Who were absolutely on fire that night! It was live. It was organic. It was spontaneous in the true tradition of great concerts. What more could you ask for? I was especially happy to see them play the classic hits, but I was overjoyed when they played Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere and Getting In Tune which are two of my personal favorites. These guys truly do rock!

[@stevecuzz8820]

Getting In Tune! Yes. Yes. Yes.

[@moniquedouglas2448]

Townshend is in superb form on this show. You can always tell he is enjoying himself when he turns and plays to the drummer intermittently.

[@glwendt]

Probably the best version of Magic Bus I’ve ever seen the boys play. Love this show - they seem to be relaxed and enjoying themselves.

[@johnmoesche3959]

Its a fun, new, song, as only The Who could do it.

[@smwrbd]

@John Moesche it's not new. It's pretty old actually.🤔

[@moniquedouglas2448]

Zak Starkey is the only drummer who satisfactorily replaces Keith Moon and who can also play with John Entwhistle. Excellent rhythm section behind the inventive guitar-playing of Townshend and one of the best frontmen in Daltrey.

[@rodneylee4026]

@@chinosator6027 That was probably pretty boring after playing with the Who.

[@destroythenarrative7941]

Well said. Before Zak they had "replacement" drummers for Keith that didn't contribute anything outside a backing rythm.

[@allanjones6415]

Zak it's not a official member, good drummer, but not official.

[@Pibb99]

@@allanjones6415 Official or not, he's been playing with them for nearly 25 years...and with only two surviving original members, "official" doesn't really matter at this point.

[@allanjones6415]

@@Pibb99 The fact that a additional musician has been in a band for many years does not change anything. The same happened to Pink Floyd, who had to put a hired bass player to replace Waters. Darryl Jones been playin' bass with Rolling Stones since 1994, not included as a official member also. Both good musicians.

[@seanod7157]

Man, how much do I love this band....first they lose Keith in 78, and then in 2002 John, and the more I watch and listen to them the more I admire and respect their strength and survival. It's very sad to lose Keith and John but Roger and Pete have too much music and talent to stop what they're doing. Keep rocking fellas. Thank you for posting.

[@stevecuzz8820]

It just sucks (imo) that Pete won't be fully appreciated as the Musical Genius he is until he passes away. There is a DVD entitled Who's Next. It's "the making of" type of video. It shows Pete endlessly getting the intro sounds to Baba O'Riley. Way before Digital. It took him forever to loop the sounds together. I found a copy at my local library.

THIS WAS THE GREATEST WHO SET LIST EVER! Roger Was In GREAT VOICE! Peter T Had His Guitar Cranked & John was AMAZING as he ALWAYS WAS! I've Seen The Who some 20/25 Time since 1979....& NO SET EVEN COMES CLOSE + John Alec Entwistle was with them for the LAST TIME!! R.I.P. Both JAE & KJM Cheers!,Henry"MEDAC"Ponds #FaveWhoGigEver!

[@robertbykowski1398]

Not the best Who set list by a long shot, even though it's a damn good performance. Take a look at the set lists from the 1979 tour, especially the 12/8/79 show in Chicago or the 9/79 shows at Madison Square Garden in NYC for a comparison. This set list, with a couple of exceptions like "I Don't Even Know Myself" and "Let's See Action", is too much like a nostalgia act reliving some of its highlights. That's fine in itself depending on what you are looking for, but don't pretend that it's an exceptional set list because it isn't.

[@rpoberhausen]

I was here. Saw them in a watered down performance of Quadrophenia at the same venue in 1996, and was so blown away to see them fully plugged in here. The audio here is taken directly off of the sound board and does not compare to the live sound at The Palace which is a supreme venue for Rock.

[@smwrbd]

74 at Cobo was the initial quadrophenia tour. It was amazing.

[@Dafuqusay]

I was at this concert at The Palace of Auburn Hills and my third time seeing the band. Such raw power coming from Pete's guitar and Zacks drum playing. Magnificent concert and my absolute favorite show of all eight times I've seen them live.

[@shawnmaher5011]

Super funkin duper

[@junkshin2]

[@stevecuzz8820]

Damn Booze took Entwhistle, Moon, and Bonham from us. People, please heed this and learn from this.

[@done1675]

2000 was in the sweet spot - Entwistle was still alive, Zak was in the band, and Townshend was able to play electric again. The last version of The Who that was really fun.

[@ChimozuFu]

Totally agree

[@harrykadaras9459]

Can't agree more. This is a great concert. Roger sounds awesome, and Pete is right on his A game (crisp guitar but dont like his Fender Stat sound). JOHN still the beast, and Zak is great too. After John departed, they lost the magical Who sound after this - just dont care so much for Ox's replacement Pino P never even tried to learn John's parts, but just stays in key and keeps the tempo...zzz

[@iainholmes2735]

@@harrykadaras9459 Yes, you can hear the strat twang (longer scale length). It looks a nice guitar. They do sound different from his SGs and Les Pauls. I think the extra knob is to blend in an acoustic sound.

[@simoneric8183]

@@iainholmes2735 Amazing : no more than 1 minute ago I just placed a comment about that. But I'm not convinced your interpretation is right because no extra piezzo or any sort of extra pickup can be seen on the body of the guitar... Anyway I must say I'm a huge fan of Pete's erratic wanderings on electrics, whatever the sound of the guitars ! (Always listen at hi volume of course)-

[@mcdaniels6188]

Agree'd. I saw them last night at the Garden. As I watched the intensity of their playing it dawned on me this could be the last night they were to play together, as if they'd decided to break up. I'd seen them several times before (always sans Moon) and this night was the best hands down.

[@asdfghjklkjhvbvcvjhvlyhb9957]

I saw this tour in Manchester UK the week before the Albert hall show which was released on dvd. They were great, I always remember early in the show pete took his guitar of for another and put it down aggressively and it bounced on the floor upright against a rigg cabinet and he lurched back to catch it and the audience gave a cheer/jeer of satisfaction. During johns bass solo on 5.15 I heard a guy near me tell his mate " that`s an active bass player", I thought yeah too right. I missed Kenney jones but still couldn't believe what I was seeing

[@seanod7157]

Hilary Keegan I agree, I was at this Detroit show. So much better than I thought it would be based on previous shows. A pinnacle.

[@robertbykowski1398]

The fact remains that, with the sole exception of their 2006/2007 performances when they were promoting their brand new 'Endless Wire' material along with the standards, every Who tour from 1989 going forward has been a nostalgia exercise. The Stones are equally as guilty. Sure, both bands still sound great on stage and both bands are better than 99.9% of music that's been released since the mid-'80's. But unless the sets include new material, don't pretend that it's not nostalgia. It is. And to call 2000 the Who's best year ever is ludicrous. Better than 1969/1970 when they released the brilliant 'Tommy' and toured it ? Better than 1971, when they released and toured 'Who's Next' ? Better than 1973, when they released and toured 'Quadrophenia' ? Or better than 1979, when they proved that Keith Moon's recent death wouldn't stop them as they gave a series of ferocious shows that featured their most varied setlists ever ? Nope, don't think so. 2000 was enjoyable but not exceptional. While I don't like Led Zeppelin anywhere near as much as I do the Who and the Stones, I will give Zeppelin credit for one thing: they went out while remaining a top creative entity. No nostalgia touring for them.

[@dustzza123]

It's been some years i've been wondering about what could be the use of this additional knob on Pete's strats, just near the bridge... my guess would be that it controls the bridge pickup's tone... but I could be totally wrong... I'll know eventually someday.

[@humanbeing2420]

The guitar has a piezo pickup inside the bridge itself (ie, you can't see it), for acoustic-like tones. That knob is the volume control for that piezo pickup.

Since Ringo was Keith Moon's best friend (or one of them), Moonie taught Zak how to play the drums while Zak was still a young kid. True story. So it's no wonder Zak picked up some of Moonie's drumming technique.
