One of the seminal rock gigs (and classic live albums) of all times was The Who's "Live at Leeds".
If you want to disagree, fu[Aqua][/Aqua]ck off. You're wrong.
So Daltrey & Townsend started their world tour back at Leeds University, and what I've seen looks & sounds impressive (even with Zak Starr on drums).

And what right does Roger Daltery have to still sport a buff 6-pack at the age of 62. Bastage.

Speaking of The Who, one of the best sketches I have ever seen was a cartoon parody of the Abbot & Costello "Who's on first" routine. Animaniac's Slappy the Squirrel did one with Skippy in episode 59 that was just priceless.

I own most of Who's vinyl, but Live at Leeds is the only one that gets needle time.
However, I don't think it's ever in the best interest of music to go about rehashing ones glory days and soil the great achievements of the past with waning talent.
******** up Magic Bus at Leeds would be tragedy.
95% chance this doesn't make it to the server. When are the hampsters getting put down?

Aye, Live at Leeds is the sh[Darkgoldenrod][/Darkgoldenrod]it. I've got the extended version where they also do most of Tommy. Good stuff.
However much I'd like to see The Who as they were back then, they don't have the same appeal to me now without Keith Moon and John Entwistle. If they came on a U.S. tour near me, sure, I'd pay to see them. But if they manage to find a way to resurrect the dead and decide to use it on rock stars instead of politicians, sure, I'd fly halfway around the sure and pay a couple grand or so.
Speaking of old-school British bands on tour, I'm going to see Roger Waters this September. Yay?

I saw The Who live at shea stadium in NYC in I think 1983, when I was a wee high scooler. It blew me away, it was so loud and was so awesome. I saw then again in the 90s when they did a farewell tour, and it sucked balls. I was in the fifteenth row to the right of the stage directly in front of one of the speaker banks and I was able to carry on a converstion with someone next to me during Wont Get Fooled Again and that is just wrong. In 1983 the ground shook, and it was grass and dirt. The early 80s tour was their last loud one, playing The Who at a normal volume is just not the same.
