Have been A fan since 4 years old in 1965

[@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.

[@cherifshawky4846]

My friends and I had great seats for this show.This video is definitely from the palace in house video, the live mix was much better and louder.This was also the last timeJohn Entwhistle played Detroit before he passed away, so glad I got to see him on this tour.

[@acerjuglans383]

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

[@wk19781]

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.

[@234cheech]

[@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.

[@MrRedwing90]

I was blessed to have front row tickets to see the Who in Portland, Oregon in 2006. A shame that Mr Entwistle had passed. The finest Bass Player I have ever seen! The Who were Spectacular!!

[@goodwilj]

I got to meet and shake hands with John Entwhistle in 1999 in Clayton, MO where he was selling his artwork and he gave me this ultra weak handshake. He looked as he did here but half dead. I got this feeling sadly that he didn't have long for this Earth. John looked sickly here too 2 years before his death and notice he was playing old style normal bass with his thumb and forefinger not the 5 -finger thunderfingers style. Wow. My all time favorite band, The Who!!!

[@nicholasrosebush6182]

I was 9 years old at the time, my dad took me to this show and we had phenomenal seats near the stage. Will never forget it.

[@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.

[@goodwilj]

That was the BEST version of "Let's See Action" I have ever heard during the encore. Oustanding!!! Great Fucking Encore!!!!

[@seanod7157]

The main thing I remember about this show is Pete ripping, tearing the guts out of every guitar part in reach. Devastating, incredible and f'n loud. Rock n roll heaven.

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!

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!

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@nicholasmaloof4272]

This venue (The Palace) is currently out of operation and slated for demolition and redevelopment into an industrial park in 2019/2020. A great venue that hosted many legends of rock, Pistons basketball games and many ice shows, disney productions and other entertainment. It will be sorely missed in Oakland County, Michigan, USA!

[@user-bs8ku1db8b]

I watched this live on TV. The country was in ABSOLUTE TORMENT and the darkest place we had been in our lifetimes. But when these “Old Men” took the stage, they injected a conquered world with with fire of life and hope. I cried then and I cry EVERY TIME I watch this performance. They LITERALLY stole the show and filled a void that we all thought was lost. I’ll NEVER FORGET that show or that feeling as long as I live. Thank you gentlemen. The healing began at THAT MOMENT‼🇺🇸
