Just got back from seeing The Who. They were totally awesome. And they played Baba O'Riley, which is one of the greatest rock anthems of all time.
I am weird. I get nostalgic for time periods during which I was decidedly not alive. During the concert I really wished that rather than seeing them in 2008 at the Fleet Center (I am too young to think of it as the Boston Garden and too old to think of it as TD Banknorth Garden), I wished I could have been seeing them in a dirty English pub in the 60s.

never saw the Who but i did manage to catch Guided by Voices on their Isolation Drills tour (not a favorite, by any means, but...) / seemed like they played the entire album , then prolly a full hour of "hits" / then they cap it off with "Baba O'Riley" with Captain Bob in all his high-kicking, Bud-fueled glory. there's a certain something about seeing a full.on "Arena Rock" moment in a small club !

And I can totally relate to the nostalgia bit. Even though a band like the Stones is still, technically, "alive," I listen to my father's old vinyl of Beggar's Banquet and wish I could have experienced them at that point.
