God, could they rock. I only saw the Who live once, at the Buffalo War Memorial in 1975 (opening act: Toots and the Maytalls!), but jeez... still among my fondest concert memories. What other band could open the show with their =first single= ("I Can't Explain"), get the crowd on their feet, and lift matters to a higher plane from there? Mercy!
Ken, beware of any cut of Won't Get Fooled Again that actually says "Extended Cut." I bought a greatest hits entitled
Who's Better, Who's Best which says "Extended Cut" but is actually only about 3:30 min instead of the normal 7:00min -ish (?) album version. That pissed me off immensely when I first bought it. I wound up buying
[U]Who's Next[/U] later anyway.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
