Who are the Who fans here?
Pete and Roger taking Quadraphenia on the road this fall "before we drop dead:"

Making of Quadraphenia documentary in theaters next week:
I'd be 100% there for the show in October if it weren't at the G-D-M-F Allstate Arena.

H - the show is November 29.
Did not get the chance to see them in '97, but did have fortune to meet Pete when he was in town. (wow!)

Was really interesting to hear Pete describe the process around the creation of the record. Really cool footage of Keith as well.
The discussion and conversation around the LP booklet with the photog was cool- had me checking out my LP- coolness.
Well done!

If not, perhaps the 5:15.
I am not a fan of the Allstate Arena but am a huge fan of Quadrophenia. That might tip the balance. I saw them at the Chicago Statdium in December, 1975 and it was one of the best rock shows I have seen.

Permalink Reply by h' 1.0 on July 26, 2012 at 4:55pm Yeah, I just read about that the other day when someone I was talking to was trying to claim (and very insistently) there was previously an "Allstate Arena" in the south suburbs that she thought had been renamed to something else sometime in the past.
Didn't the Who play House of Blues last time they were in town?

I saw The Who probably 10 years or so ago at the Tweeter Center/The World, when Entwistle was still alive. That place sucks so bad that I don't remember much about it. But I'm a fan of this band, especially The Who Sell Out and Who's Next.
