      When Pete Townsend gets up and does one of his solos on an acoustic guitar you wont be worried about how much the ticket was. I guarantee it!

      Remember seeing The Who at Royal Albert Hall in summer 1969, after being at The Stones free concert in Hyde Park, magical day. Keith Moon had a box of drumsticks as he regularly threw one in the air but seldom caught it.
