Notes:
The Who in 1989...the Who on ice...the vegas show...Many things have been said about this tour, most not good. I enjoyed these shows though. It was a celebration of the Who's career played out in stadiums mostly with a great band that was, for the most part, The Deep End with John and Roger on board. The great Simon Phillips on drums, the great Kick Horns, Jodie Linscott on percussion. The only weak link in this band was Steve Bolton on guitar and the tour's finest moments were when PT took over on electric. The shows were comprised of two sets, which started out totalling about 3 hours before being pared down after about 3 weeks on the road. Roger was in great voice, John never better on bass and Pete alternated between acoustic guitar and electric guitar and sometimes really PLAYED the electric guitar! I recorded these shows on a new Panasonic dat deck I bought for this tour. With the exception of my car it was the most expensive thing I had ever bought. Tacoma was my hometown show, and was going along great until the end of WGFA, when Pete impaled his right hand on the whammy bar of his Stratocaster. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital for some mending work. Roger was lost without him, struggling to get through the band introductions and a anti-climatic encore after Pete had left for the hospital. At the end of Born On The Bayou you can hear Roger say "How do we end this fucking song?" Pete would be alright but would have to play the rest of the tour with his hand in a ace-wrap.
