Please can someone post updates about tomorrows game, how the new players are playing etc, I'm seeing the Who at Wembley sadly missing the game,
Thanks in advance.

I saw the Who too instead of Orient. Wrong choice, very wrong choice. Poor, Daltry can’t sing anymore and too much reliance on the orchestra and weak songs. Like amateur night sometimes. I’ll remember them as they were not as they are.

What a waste of a few hundred quid. Feel cheated

Really.. I thought Daltrey was superb & was amazed a 75 year old man still had it, plus he looked flipping fantastic, thought sound was good too & the orchestra was great especially as most songs were from Quadrophenia, obviously it wasn't as rocky as as we wanted but it was billed as the who & orchestra so it wasn't a shock, my only gripe was police closing surrounding roads due the friday night murder I expected to get there in an hour but it took me 2 & 1/2 hours to get there, got a buddy who lets me park in his drive he lives very very close to ground, so missed the Kaiser Chiefs & saw only half of Eddie Vedder set (who was really good)

Thing is Jagger is 77 Daltrey 75 & McCartney 77 & I remember a few years back McCartney not being able to reach the notes so this is a new learning curve for all taking a risk seeing a mid 70s rocker sing but disappointed, how could I be ! these are OAPs & Daltrey blew me away with the power & melody of his voice, this is the first time I have seen the who & I honestly play most of their albums regularly, I also like Entwistle solo stuff & dare I say it
I love Moonies double album too.

Maybe I'm easily pleased but thought they were awesome (for their age) sorry you felt cheated.

On a different note Charlie Watts of Stones(drummer) is 79.

I saw the recent Stones concert, it was fantastic. Would definitely go again. Old or not those guys know how to rock.

Maybe I was expecting the Who, a punchy rock band (obviously plus replacements) supported by an orchestra, that is not what we really got, too much orchestra. Sure the guys look good for their age but I was more interested in their music and bar a few numbers for me it failed to deliver. Daltrey's voice is far from what it was and I felt the structure of the evening was geared around protecting it with long rest periods. Townsend was very entertaining.

Maybe where I went wrong was playing their CD's on the way to the gig. Great stuff. Perhaps set my expectations too high. Eddie Vedder was very good.

If I were offered free tickets to see them again I would decline.

Disappointed. I'll remember them for the way they were, not the way they are, an average middle of the road band offering nothing exceptional. Certainly not the Who.

Shame it was a poor gig, maybe a case of one to many?

Paul Mc can’t sing anymore either, age waits for no one.

At 70 don’t I know age waits for no one. But on the bright side watching the Stones and Who, they are older than me. Though Jagger, that guy moves well for his age and has so much energy. I’ll have some of what he is on. Wonder what it is.

A guy who ages really well, voice wise, is Jeff Lynne of ELO. One of my all time favourite bands. Seen them many times from years ago to recently, his voice is real good.

Love going to concerts, aging disgracefully, get a real buzz from rock music, love strong beats and pounding base. Maybe why I was disappointed by the Who. They have lost the raw energy and become old age gents.

Definitely worth mentioning there are phrases in who songs which would make McCartney, Jagger (not really a great singer tbh) & Jeff Lynne wince so you have to cut him some slack however I still believe he was superb & had no problems,
He sang Won't get fooled again effortlessly.
