WOW......over 200 shows ?? IMPRESSIVE !! However, your entry for "disappointing shows" left me with a lot of questions......so, you say you saw The Who twice (and, I'm assuming that would have been three times, if your mom had okayed your going in 1980?), and say that 'post-Moon you were not a big fan of the band'.......but the two times you DID see them, was that with Keith Moon, or without?? And if it was without, was that why the shows ended up in your 'disappointing' category (but if not, then why were the shows so disappointing??)......or were there other factors that put those shows there ?? SAVE FERRISKeith Moon died in 1978. A bit before my concert going days. I always thought the Who lost something when Keith died. They went from "Sister Disco" and "Who Are You" to "You Better You Bet" which was, to me, a slight step above bubble gum pop. But I still wanted to see them because, well it was still the Bloody Who. I was in the same building as Daltry, Townsend and Entwistle. For me, that was a lot of the joy of concerts. To be in the same place as Keith Richards, Ray Davies, Steven Tyler, Angus Young, Paul McCartney and especially ones like Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain.
I worked/managed a record store when I was in my teens. The store got complimentary ticket if we wallpapered the place with posters and sold tickets. First tickets went to me. If you were 18-22, working in a record store was the dream job. Got to listen to tunes all day, got to borrow the store copies and tape them, got my pick of the posters when they came down. Oh and the girls...
WOW, a LOT to digest there......THANKS !! SAVE FERRIS
