Why do people always wish that anyone over 30 should just quit playing their music?

9. YES!! Thank you!!!!
I stopped reading the shit here. I LOVE the Who and would much rather hear them again than any new shit that has no chance of comparing.

11. I love "progessives"
The ones who think anyone who is too old should stop doing what they love.

14. too true
maybe next year they can have some 20 year old pop band that sounds exactly the same as all the other boring shit out there. But at least they'd be young!!

12. I don't like Daltrey's voice now,
but the band sounded adequate to me and the light show was well-done, I thought.

13. Roger Daltry toured not so long ago, and
being that I am recovering from a long period of unemployment, didn't go. So sorry I missed it. Eddie Vedder showed up to help Roger with the high notes, and it was a killer show, so I am told from my friends that went. This was in a VERY small club. Roger opened with Pictures of Lily, and closed with Baba O'Reilly, and did a lot of rare Who in between.

I don't care that they are old, they are the music of my youth. I would feel privileged to attend any show they did.
