We saw the Who in concert last night. It was a great show! I don't much like the acoustics at the ipayOne Center, but the Who are sufficiently loud that it doesn't matter. We were six rows up off the floor, house left, a couple dozen rows from the front. They really rocked the place, and seemed genuinely happy to be in San Diego.
It's interesting how the idea of rock concert misbehavior changes with the times. All the aging boomers were tokin' up, passing around a king-size doobie. The folks my age, on the other hand, all whipped out their cell phones to illicitly memorialize the event for posterity on YouTube.
Ahem. Anyway, they finished out their regular set with "Won't Get Fooled Again," and every voice in the place was belting it out. That song is depressingly timeless. The encore was a selection from Tommy, which turned out to be a pretty long set.
"Hope I die before I get old," indeed. Yesterday was Roger Daltrey's 63rd birthday, but he shows no signs of even beginning to get old. Rock on, guys!

You post before 8am about a concert the night before. What did you have to get up to pee, old man?
"Hope I die before I get old", huh? I wonder if you can really call the band you saw last night 'The Who'. I mean, aren't two of the four of them already dead?
Get up? Maybe I was still up! Well, okay, I wasn't. The show started at 7:30, presumably because the band are a bunch of old men. As for half the band being dead already, I'm young enough to only really consider John Entwistle as "the dead one," since Keith Moon died when I was six years old. ;)
Wow, you were alive when Keith Moon died? You are old!
Bah, get off of my lawn! *waves cane menacingly*
