Am I the only one here who thinks that the Who peaked 35 years ago and should have disbanded after Keith Moon died?
I wouldn't knock anyone for going to see what's left of the Who.
But I definitely did not care for Kenny Jones when he drummed for the Who. He was alright for the Small Faces, but his style was too stiff for the Who, when I saw them around '79 or '80. And they've never really released any new songs with the younger drummers.
Now with the Ox missing, I feel like they've lost their most distinctive & exciting instrumental voice.
At one time, the Who were a Raging Bull. Unfortunately, that Raging Bull has had it's 2 balls cut off.
What goes out as the Who today sounds more like a Pete Townsend solo album, with Daltrey sitting in, than the Who of old.
Some bands can replace lost members & still maintain the spirit. The 2 guys gone from the Who are just very difficult to replace.
