Monday, November 3rd at Verizon Center in DC. I left work to drive acorss town to the Shady Grove Metro Station only to turn around and go downtown for the anticipated concert. Along with the Redskin fans also taking the train to FedEx Field for a Monday Nite Game. Yippie!!! But I ventured out to go see Roger Daltrey and Peter Townshend and the rest of the gang play DC. It started out with a band from Canada who said "What the fxxx man, we are opening for THE WHO!""" The center applauded but really just wanted to get them off the stage and bring on THE WHO. So around 9 PM, Roger, Pete, and the others came out on stage and started their concert. They actually played until 11 so we got quite the show. Who are you..... Behind Blue Eyes......Pinball Wizard....My Generation....The Seeker.....Amazing Journey.....See Me-Feel Me.....Sister Disco..... and many more. I kept thinking "Boy they look old". Then I realized they ARE old but they still put on one hell of a show!!!! Ringo's son played the drums. No one missed a beat. The bands coordination was excellent. Roger swung his microphone over his head during almost the entire concert, catching it as always!!! So for nearly 2 hours we ALL enjoyed ROCKIN with THE WHO. And I do mean ROCKIN!!!!! Young and Old alike, there was something for everyone. And without the smoke & smells from old days. They came out to do the encore to the light of cell phones -- no more lighters today. Even though I was in the nose-bleed section, it was totally worth every penny!!! Ro you HAVE to go with me next time!!!!!
