Another band that should have called it a day a long time ago.
I saw The Who back in '79 on their first tour after Keith Moon died and I thought it was an excellent show. But since then, I've seen hours and hours of footage and official releases with Moon when they were at their prime and I realized that the show I saw was merely "ok" in comparison. When I saw them again in '82 with The Clash opening, I thought they were tired old dinosaurs putting on a half-hearted stadium show who were doing the right thing calling it a day when they did. I occasionally hear comments from people who've seen them over the past decade they're as good as ever and I gotta wonder wtf these people are mainlining. They're the very definition of rock n' roll cabaret.
