"Too much singing in the rain"

I saw The Who live a week ago. They were fantastic, even if Roger Daltrey had some problems with his voice (hence the subject). I knew that might be a problem from the reports from Roskilde, but thankfully it wasn't that bad. Pete Townshend was absolutely brilliant. And the video screens worked perfectly, I've probably never seen anything so impressive visually in a concert before. I don't usually go to such big concerts, so I'm not that used to big screens like that, but wow!

I think their new album is very good, but I have to admit that the old favourites worked better live, the crowd seemed to love best the songs famous from CSI. There were quite a lot of young people too. It was one of those cases when I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to just sit down peacefully and enjoy the spectacle, or dance around and sing, but I took it rather quietly. I hope the band still knows how much we loved them.

And did you know that Pete Townshend is blogging too?
