| I saw The Who play live about a half-dozen times. I was also lucky to have seen Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle play live with their respected solo projects. |
| |
| Below is a quick list of my Who experiences. I will add more detail at a later date. |
| |
- Roger Daltrey - Under A Raging Moon Tour - This was in late 1985 or early 1986. My friend and I drove in a raging snowstorm to see Roger play at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, PA.
- The Who - Reunion Tour - The summer of 1989 final gave me the chance to see The Who play live! Yes! Two back-to-back nights of incredible rock 'n' roll at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, PA.
- The Who - Quadrophenia - July 20, 1996 - My 26th (or 27th; who's counting these days) birthday. Pretty cool - road trip to Madison Square Garden in NYC, see The Who play again, and then roam around the city that never sleeps. That's a great birthday celebration!
- The Who - Quadrophenia - I saw the Quadrophenia tour two more times (I think it was the winter and summer of 1997): at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, PA, and the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ.
- Pete Townshend Solo - 1998, A Day in the Garden - The best time I ever had experiencing live music, as I stated in the Poetry Cornered section.
- John Entwistle Solo - Summer, 1999, Atlantic City, NJ - the JEB band played a free concert outside the Hard Rock Cafe.
- John Entwistle Solo - Winter, 1999, Maddie's Cafe, Frazer, PA - the JEB band jammed hard at this cool bar just three or so miles from my house. John played the best live bass solo I've ever seen or heard!
- The Who - July 2000, Tweeter Center, Camden, NJ - This was The Who at their finest based on all the times I've seen them. Loud, tight, and a wild rockin' night!
- The Who - July 2002, Tweeter Center, Camden, NJ - A great show, but rather sad as John had died only a month before. Still, Pete and Roger played their hearts out that night.
- The Who - September 12, 2006 - Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, PA - opening night of their North American World Tour!
- The Who - October 31, 2008 - The Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ - The Who
- in Atlantic City - on Halloween! Are you kidding me! Talk about a great time seeing the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World! It was a pleasure to be able to see this live, one more time... :)
- Roger Daltrey - Use It Or Lose It Tour - November 14, 2009, The Music Box at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ. A cool expirence in an intimate setting. Fantastic show. Roger played Who songs, solo songs, and cover songs. I just hope at some point in my life I can sing as well as he does at his age. I'm ready for another!

| Some of the dates might be a little off, but I'm not sweating it. These were great, intense musical experiences that I will remember the rest of my life. |
