»I Can't Explain« was somewhat ragged but still The Who, but »Substitute« was
just plain awful. The song went from normal speed to slow to fast to slow
and then nothing. Keith was totally off-beat and the band looked like they had
no idea what was going on.

My friends and I met in Boston on March the 9th, 1976, all excited for another
great Who show.....we were down on the floor when they hit the stage and ripped
into "I Can't Explain", but something was off... Then "Substitute" started and
the beat was just not right ... we looked at each ohter and said, "what's going on here?"
... they stopped the show and Townshend came out, apologized and said Keith
had pneumonia, but we'll be back. Everyone was decidedly bummed out, but so it goes.

April 4th 1976 proved to be quite a return. I managed to get right down front , standing
10 feet from Entwhitsle - remember when he had the 2 "water" bottles on his
mike stand? - and they literally took the top of my head off. The highlight of the
night for me was when they were singing "Behind Blue Eyes" and got to the
part "....keep me warm, let me wear your coat!" and some inspired genius in the
front tossed his dungaree jacket, spiraling, onto the stage, right on cue, and Townshend
pummeled it with his boots and the band just exploded! One of those nights when you
go home horse from shouting at the top of your lungs! This was the last time I saw
Townshend smash a guitar.

I was left stunned and amazed by that band once again.
