I'd be 100% there for the show in October if it weren't at the G-D-M-F Allstate Arena.

Oh, I'd go to this even at the Allstate Arena.

It seems the beards have all grown longer overnight. 

my first rock show ever : the Who at Bloomington , IN. 1974. I was very young and snuck out of the house to go. awesome show. but that was after they stopped destroying the instruments after each and every show...boo hoo.

Im SO GOING!!!

H - the show is November 29.

Did not get the chance to see them in '97, but did have fortune to meet Pete when he was in town. (wow!)

Wow, you must have been like what, 11?  Do you think breathing the same air as Keith Moon at an early age had an effect on your subequent development?

 

I was at this show:

Thanks.  I did cross-reference the dates/cities with Eddie Vedder's fall tour-- no overlaps.

As long as Kieth Richards is alive no one else will die.

I'm too young to have seen Moon, but I did get to see them twice on the 96/97 tour and once in 2000, when Entwistle was still with us. This is absolutely my favorite album of all time. Since I have no expectations that this will be the real Who, I expect Pete and Roger and friends to do a great job and put on a good show.

I had the opportunity to do a tribute night at Reggies and perform the entire album a few months back. It's a real challenge. Here's a link: http://soundcloud.com/charlie-short/quadrophenia-live-may-31-2012 I'm playing bass and singing the Roger parts.

bike ride there?

Love the Who (the band not the brand) and Quadrophenia is in the top 3 of their albums for me.  But the band ceased to exist when Keith died, plus I won't go to any venue that seats more than 3,000 people and much prefer 300.  I don't mean to rain on your parade if you're going, sincerely hope you enjoy it.  Just wouldn't be the same for me.  Would love to see a Quadrophenia/The Kid's Are Alright double feature in a real movie theater.  Saw them both when they were released, and seeing them again on the big screen with an appreciative audience would be great.

That could potentially be a pretty miserable bike ride.
