I was at the front of the stage on the left. F'N INCREDIBLE 😲 😮 ❤️ and for the reasons of the show blowing me away, I literally took maybe 3 photos. I wish I had more now! 😪
I saw them on this tour Jan. 30th, 2013 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. I had lost my job a month earlier for missing work the morning after a Bruce Springsteen show. (probably didn't help that I wouldn't shut up about it the day of the show? Lol) So by the time I got to this show I was almost broke and about to lose my apartment. (my heroin/meth/vodka problem was getting totally out ot control). I went alone and so high that I couldn't feel my body and was sweating buckets on a cold winters night. I began to get a little nervous. But figured like the song says, "uppers and downers, either way blood flows". The Who came on. I had last seen them in 2008. I was surprised at how good they sounded that night. Before they even got halfway through the show I was already in tears. I'd forgotten how much this was a part of my growing up and how much I related and still did in my 40's. The Who took me on an emotional journey that night as well as rocking the shit out of the place. Just saw them again two months ago and they still kicked ass!!! Long Live Rock, Indeed!!!
I couldn’t stop crying through this set, still makes me sad watching it through now. Grew up watching Quadrophenia, hearing this live blew me away. I can relate to Jimmy in some ways, I think we all can.
CAT Mechanic he was having tendinitis during the tour. He eventually had to leave the tour and Scott Devours (from Roger’s solo band) took over. Scott is the drummer on the live cd/dvd from the tour as well (and did a phenomenal job!).
