Pete Townshend's Tinnitus May Mean End of the Who

Hey, there are way more of us Boomers than there are of you!!! You will just have to wait until we all die before you get your turn!!!! We also have all the money...and money talks!!!

They were ass-kicking in the 70's!!! Oh my god...I saw them on their "Who's next" tour in 1972 or 1973, (can't remember...ha ha!!!) Anyway, that show ROCKED!!!! What a killer light show they had!!!
I didn't see their half time show...heard they weren't too happy with it. But.....they can't be any worse than some of todays so-called musicians!!!!! Most music today sucks!!!!

at 2-22-2010I am 54 and was lucky enough to see the Who at Madison Square Garden complete with Pete Moon. That was an experience I will never forget!
But also like you, I have had hearing loss for at least 6 or 7 years now. I tried real expensive high tech hearing aids for a while, but no matter how they adjusted them, they sounded tinny and just plain awful, so I gave up on them.

Kieth Moon was awesome!!!! what a loss. The Who was one of the greatest bands i ever saw live!
However, I agree with you about the hearing loss. I haven't tried a hearing aid yet, but my kids tell me my ex-husband is suffering from tinnitus!

I'm not into rock bands like most of you are, but without a doubt that was the worst half time show I've ever seen. I couldn't watch the whole thing. You can continue to pay for tickets or buy their music, but they really SUCKED at the half time show. Perhaps they were great in their day but they SUCK now...at least they SUCKED on superbowl sunday. Maybe they are better at a real concert but they REALLY SUCKED at half time. They should have not been allowed to preform with the whole world watching. They should stick to their fans. Te half time show made me want to throw up. What a bunch of crap. Now was it me or were they really messing up on some of the notes. I know I sound mean but they SUCKED. Stick with their fans and real concerts. This way people who have never seen them preform will perhaps get a look at how they really are. No group stays around this long if they SUCK, so they must have really been great back in the day...but they SUCK now. You van agree or disagree, but you have to admit they SUCKED in front of millions on superbowl sunday. Now I've said mine.

The Who were not afraid to say what needed to be said. I was sad to see them at the Super Bowl it was insult to them and their fans. I thought Zack should have distroyed his drumset at the end, and then state he had an equipment malfunction. Now that would have been the real Who

WHO AM I? devoted 56 yr old fan & thankful to have experienced The Who-then & now! All the rest is BS...

Geezer Rock. Next thing you know we will see tour busses with Walker lifts on the side, backstage wheelchair ramps, drugs and women replaced with prunes and Matlock. Will it ever end?

I WENT TO ANOTHER CHANNEL WHEN THE WHO CAME ON. I'VE HAD ENOUGH WIERD IN MY LIFE.
