Talk to me. 

no, they can charge what they like while divs keep filling the arenas. most I spent was back in 2012 on radiohead. £70 for standing, fairly close to the stage at the o2. the band was as good as I expected, a brilliant show but still spoilt by far too many inconsiderate cunts with their arms constantly outstretched filming the stage. like the black mirror episode where you have all those cunts walking around constantly filming. it spoilt what should have been a 10/10 night. six years later, I went to see sparks in consecutive years for half the price and far fewer amateur cameramen/women

*though, I see even the cure now wanting over 110 for the cheapest tickets available next year. all these legacy bands can fuck off. support rising talent*

But their whole sound was defined by their utterly inimitable rhythm section. Losing Moon was bad enough, but when the Ox died they really should have packed it in.

Mind you, if people want to spend a fortune watching an overpriced, geriatric tribute band, that's entirely up to them.

Town Shend.
FMOB.

Shut up Swiss, you boring cսnt.

I do believe that Pete Townsend has not been shown the credit he deserves as a song writer and musician. 

But i like his views on bands like Yes and The Eagles 

Nothing to say bar they are magnificent and have been for a long, long time.

I think the album is terrible except The Real Me.

Apparently they did a "Farewell Tour" back just before Who's Next...and then a tour every few years after that.

So, bye, then.

I still remember Status Quo's 'End Of The Road' tour in 1984 (I think).

Possibly the earliest false retirement from touring ever!

Alan Curbishley’s older brother Bill was (maybe still is) their manager and his younger brother Paul is pictured on the cover of the album Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy

Had the original  Whos Next album loved the cover - recently passed it to one of my son-in-laws with all my vinyl
This track is definitely one of their best.
