I saw them at Jones Beach, here on long island. Great venue, water right behind the stage, never been there before tonight. First thing Pete says when he gets on stage, "I thought it was going to be by the f*cking beach!" Very funny guy that Pete Townshend is.
Great concert, although I think Pete could play one chord with that guitar/amp and I'd think it was awesome. What a sound. Great vocals by Roger and Pete, great bass playing as always, despite Entwisle not being alive. The drummer was incredible also. And by drummer, I mean Kieth Moon, cause the fellow basically played all the songs just as Keith did, thankfully.
The ending was kind of dissapointing, ended with a slow song. When I saw them 2 years ago they ended with a 10 minute jammed out Magic Bus, which was the best part of the concert, I was expecting that this time too, but alas.
The opening act was TERRIBLE. Well, maybe not terrible, but it was some sort of HEAVY rock, screaming, etc. I don't know if they are on tour with the Who, or if that was Jones Beach's fault, but it was obvious the crowd wouldn't appreciate their music. And the boo's reflected that. When I find out what band it was I'll let you all know.
Anyways, great concert. Pete and Roger rocked Long Island.
