The Who 50th Anniversary Tour: 2014-2017 and more! *

I hear ya!

 

I don't bother with the fan club presales etc,i'd rather take my own chance.
Heard too many gaurunteed rubbish seats are sold this way.
And struck gold today with my own devices.
I got a 3rd row from front directly in front of Pete for £70 at Leeds arena.

 

UK leg of the 50th Anniversary tour coverage has been officially delegated to Quadboy from Leeds.

 

i will be happy to provide coverage of this show,but unlike last years Quad tour where i followed them across England for 4 shows,this wil be my final and only Who show of this tour.
i hope someone tapes it...........my own cassette recorder is average.
i also hope an Encore series is again utilised.

 

For Oakland Ticketmaster is offering the same seats for the last hour and a half. I won't get fooled again ... not that I ever have but this is a waiting game for the seats I wish. Sales not that great buy this gauge.

 

That is the impression I got from the Atlanta onsale. I figured I would have to wait awhile to get anything but got through rather quickly and saw the same seats appearing over and over again. I imagine that since the shows are so far away they will eventually sell by then but definitely not during this initial onsale.

I'm going to see them for the first and only time so my excitement level is high. Maybe the long time fans less so.

 

Me too for UK coverage haha! I'm going to London! Haha got some spare tickets too as got excited and over ordered!

 

Throw in "Love Reign Oer Me" and "You Better You Bet" (which I'm sure they will) and you have 2/3 of the show right there.

 

I Can See For Miles
The Good's Gone
A Quick One
Run Run Run
So Sad About Us
Circles

I'm not holding my breath that they'll play any of these.

 

I'd love any of these as well, particularly A Quick One. Would love to hear that live, with this version of the band. I'm guessing it won't happen. One can hope though.

 

The Philly sales are looking fine. Seats that were available earlier today are not now. I was checking the May show just as an example.

 

I'm hoping for "I Can See For Miles", also. Hopefully they'll live up to the PR stating that they'll be getting into the whole 50 years of their existence.

But no matter what, I'm looking forward to the concert.

 

They could play it since it was played a lot back in the day. I would prefer Relax.

 

Excellent, please feel free to contribute any thread updates/news at anytime. I know your a big Who fan as are many folks reading this thread.

 

Quite a nice, but short interview. I wish they'd have dropped some hints as to what they are rehearsing....

 

Good for you man... I'm sure you'll dig it, if for nothing else than seeing Pete and Rog for perhaps the last time. I've seen them many times since my first in 1982 and you should have seen me last night when I got home from work (after purchasing two shows during presale)... I was as excited as I was back in '82. Thankfully my wife understands my Who passion.

 

They did play "I Can See For Miles" 12 years ago, I think only one time however (Mansfield, Mass.). Time to bring it back for sure !!

Just got my tix for Forest Hills, NY (NYC) May, 30. This is a very small venue for them, very excited !

 

Joe Louis Arena didn't sell out for Quadrophenia '12 but it's come pretty close today. Not bad for a concert that plays A YEAR FROM TODAY!

 

Got my tickets for Raleigh today!

 

I am an Ultimate VIP: Section 3 (in front of Pete), row H, seat 11 @ Verizon Center in DC. Come say “hi!” -E

They've had the more regular version of 'TKAA' down in concert in its poppy folksy/rocky roots since Pete stopped doing the extended vocalising extending the song past its due date, imo. I don't mind, , hearing the short take on that one. Lily is always welcome too, as is ICSFM.

 

Taking my wife to see them at the Verizon Center as well. Her first time.
