The Who at Capital One Arena 23 May on Goldstar

Sections 101 and 110 $60*
Sections 102 and 109 $42*
200 section $25*
400 section $22*

*Plus fees

Does this indicate it's not selling well? Would it be cheaper in Stubhub day of?
100% not selling well...possible they would be cheaper day of

I saw that an think I might try to nab a 200 section, never seen the who (or at least 1/2 of the who)

This is my thinking and I might go. Maybe I'll wait and see it it gets cheaper around the show date (and if I miss out, no big loss.) I guess I'll have to find a friend or go it alone, as this is what my wife said to the idea:


You keep gravitating toward stuff that's annoying crap designed to take your money and be a hassle...
large stadium concerts of senior citizens older than us? lining their pockets while we're stuck experiencing something you know is going to be not worth it

I was going regardless.  Last show at Jiffy Pop was great.  Now that prices have come down- even better...but will they continue to come down and how low will stubhub get to close to date of show.  Will probably hold off.

It is NOT The Who

There can’t be The Who without OX and Animal

They really should have changed their name to The Two

And Wilco needs to bring back Ken Coomer and Leroy Bach. And a hologram of Jay Bennett.

Don’t make me laugh…

Ox and Moon are two of the greatest of the great…you can’t compare them to Tweedy’s hired hands..no disrespect to Jay…

The rhythm section of The Who was The Who! With Pete’s slashing guitar over it.

You take away the rhythm section you ain’t got the band

I don’t think I am saying anything controversial

Let's not get into this debate...okay lets.  So The Rolling Stones should've changed their name when Brian Jones died, ok, maybe not, well then when Bill Wyman left, no, okay how about when Charlie Watts died? No?
What about the Eagles in the 70's losing founding members.
Allman Brothers losing the amazing Duane Allman.  Literally they were not Allman brothers.
Fleetwood Mac when Lindsey Buckingham left in the 80's and recently got kicked out?
E-Street Band when Clarence died?

Yeah Zeppelin stopped completely when Bonham died, and Grateful Dead changed name when Garcia died but those are exceptions.

With regards to The Who - The primary songwriter and two most famous members (and front men) can call themselves whatever they want.  Townshend and Daltrey were/are the only irreplaceable members of The Who.

for the causal greatest hits fans, yes

Bands do stuff all the time

I think as long as you have Wood who is not original, Keef and Mick you have enough of the essence of the Stones…it works

Without Entwistle and Moon you do not have enough of the essence of The Who

Of course they can call themselves anything but I couldn’t see them live and think “this is The Who “

Daltrey and Pete are legends.

Eagles? Who cares
Allmans: they never came close to being the same band..I mean they stopped recording great new music one year after Duane died! Of course Dickey is great and they could bring it live but Eat a Peach features last great studio stuff

Fleetwood Mac with dude from crowded house is a horrible joke

E Street Band? It’s Bruce Springsteen so who cares who is in it or not

There is a caveat though


Zak Starkey, The Who’s drummer I think for 25 years , and ringo’s son supposedly learned to play the drums from Moon so ….

Just not enough for me to think it’s The Who

But Daltrey and Pete is not A bad thing

I think people don’t appreciate moon and ox enough..watch some isolated tracks of them playing live..mind blowing

Part of issue is for a while Ox was replaced by Pino Palladino who I cannot stand
