The Who Shake Off the Rust as ‘Moving On! Tour’ Kicks Off In Grand Rapids
www.billboard.com
Pete Townshend and his surviving bandmate Roger Daltrey kicked off their 'Moving On' tour with a hit-and-miss, two-hour-plus outing.I had SO MUCH FUN with the people, but the sound was SO BAD in the front. So bad. We were standing right in front of Pete, but we could not hear him.
I was born in 78 and grew up with a deep appreciation for “Classic Rock Music”. Thr first time I saw TheWho was in 1996. They came to town performing Quadrophenia. I was lucky enough to have been front row, the second time I saw them was in 2000 and I was 22 rows back. John Entwistle was still alive both times I saw TheWho… but now I think about going to see Roger and Pete performing TheWho’s music and when I watch any of their current performances on YOUTUBE I feel nothing but sadness because they sound Horrible.
I thought the show sounded great that night. The picture is from after the show. We sure got lucky!!!!
Thank you, $25 concert week tickets for this show!

On May 7, 1967 The Who play a late show at MFF-Stadion in Malmö.
The performance sparks a "fan-crush" as attendees rush the stage during the opening song "Substitute," only to be shoved back by police. At least 20 fans have to be carried out, some unconscious.
The Who will not return to Sweden for five years.
