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

A friend had some tickets that he bought and forgot about- worked out in my favor- I would have definitely missed it otherwise. At the theater @ Western &Diversey there were maybe 30 Who fans...

Damn... had no idea about the one night thing. I just missed the LCD Soundsystem film on Monday night as well.

Not to highjack- but "who" saw the doc last night?

Was really interesting to hear Pete describe the process around the creation of the record. Really cool footage of Keith as well.

The discussion and conversation around the LP booklet with the photog was cool- had me checking out my LP- coolness.

Well done!

A scooter might be more appropriate.
 If not, perhaps the 5:15.

I am not a fan of the Allstate Arena but am a huge fan of Quadrophenia. That might tip the balance.  I saw them at the Chicago Statdium in December, 1975 and it was one of the best rock shows I have seen.

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!)

It's been done before, but not without injuries.

Please please please let the Allstate Arena close or collapse or something (with no injuries) and the concert be moved to United Center.

Dang, that link to the documentary has already been taken down by the user.  Anyone got another link?

I saw The Who probably 10 years or so ago at the Tweeter Center/The World, when Entwistle was still alive.  That place sucks so bad that I don't remember much about it.  But I'm a fan of this band, especially The Who Sell Out and Who's Next.

Well, I guess I'm due another Who gig. Last one I went to was as a high school junior at their 'Summer of 74' shindig at the Charlton Athletic football ground in south-east London, at the time the largest capacity soccer stadium in England:

Keith ('Moon the Loon') was in full swing then, and didn't disappoint.

It was filmed by the BBC, and I wish they would put out a DVD of the footage.
