Kanada Kev Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sweet. I'll go if I can get a cheap ticket. I missed the last go around where they played London, ON I think. Anyone go to that? Was it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Looks like prices for the US shows range from $75-$150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Dylan next month, then the Who in Oct. Glad to see Copps getting some decent shows again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The Roger & Pete shows are only good if Pete is in form. Unfortuately, Roger is looking like an aged Diane Keaton and his vocals get shredded pretty quickly in concert. But for that price, seeing Townshend and his guitar will be well worth it, although not at $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irie Guy Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The Who remains one of the bands that were a MAJOR influence on my upbringing that I have not had a chance yet to see live.Hell I remember watching on TV the "Final" show from the Gardens waaaayyy baccckkk.Maybe I should finally see what remains of probably one of the top 5 musical acts ever.

Jaimoe Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hell, just key in on Townshend. Pete is one of the few guitarists of his era (Jeff Beck also comes to mind) that has over-hauled his style over the decades. Pete's lead playing is quite intricate while his acoustic and over-driven strums remain stunningly powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Stop calling it the Who. It should be called "Who's left".I like Townsend's playing but he's a huge baby in interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Townshend can be a "baby", self-rightous, arrogant, a prick, funny, insightful, thought-provoking, challenging and a pop culture historian. All this amounts to the spokesman for his generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Those prices are atrocious. I hope they tank in their sales (like the Bills) and end up begging us to buy tix. Can't see the Hamilton area audiences ponying up that kind of bread for a half-Who gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol'Hickster Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ticket prices were like that for the show in London, Like I said reason I went was because I ended up being able to get some free tickets, but I mean, the Labbats Center was packed, So there are people out there willing to pay that price(crazy bastards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I had a great time seeing them at Scotiabank Place a couple of years ago. I though that the tix were expensive back then. We paid something like $100 for second tier seats half way back on the floor.Starting at $100 - that is indeed just nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm in. That is really expensive. I'd rather pay to see them in a decent venue but whatever. I saw the last tour and it was actually quite good. Pino did a great job on the bass. It's still the same keyboardist that's always been in the band too isn't it? That being said, it's still The Who.

Jaimoe Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's still the same keyboardist that's always been in the band too isn't it? That being said, it's still The Who.The keyboardist is John "Rabbit" Bundrick. He's been collaborating with Townshend since 1977 and he's been a ghost member of the band since 1979. Pete fleshes out this current incarnation with old faces and family to partly hide the fact that he's the only one left. Roger should be put out to pasture. I'd pay big dough to see Pete front a band with Pino, Rabbit and Zak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hell I remember watching on TV the "Final" show from the Gardens waaaayyy baccckkk. still have a scar on my right hand from picked up tickets for that (was 14 years old) when I got stabbed by a broken wine bottle weiling bleary eyed reveller right after getting hit by a gold trans-am with a huge phoenix covering the whole hood... 10 hours waiting in a line full of adventure and tragedy... all that to end up with "Greys" seats which ended up being behind a bunch of tv cameras (besides at the back of the hall) but I saw The Who ("Final" tour was indeed a exagerated stretch of linguistics) perhaps its time to apply for a part time job at HEFCI, can quit as soon as I'm in the door that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
