Seen them Live.
Loudest concert I've ever been to. My whole body was vibrating, my ears was ringing. Is it possible to even feel your insides vibrating???? IT WAS THAT LOUD.
I loved every second of it. :)
John Goodman's character in the Big Lebowski would have something good to say in response to this....

I heard about that too. XD
I haven't! Enlighten me.
Seriously? He was supposedly doing research for a book on child paedophilia which he wanted to write because he'd been supposedly abused himself as a kid a la Tommy by Uncle Ernie. Anyways he's currently on the Sex Offenders register (actually maybe he's off it now I don't know) for stashing pictures of child porn on his computer.
Oh and I appreciate Pete Townshend very much. Great guitarist...fabulous and so on...
Sigh. He didn't stash child porn on his computer. From Wikipedia:
Police caution
As part of the Operation Ore investigations, Townshend was cautioned by the police in 2003 after acknowledging a credit card access in 1999 to the Landslide website alleged to advertise child pornography.[9][10] He claimed in the press and on his website to have been engaged in research for A Different Bomb (a now-abandoned book based on an anti-child pornography essay published on his website in January 2002), his autobiography and as part of a campaign against child pornography. The police searched his house and confiscated 14 computers and other materials and after a four-month forensic investigation confirmed that they had found no evidence of child abuse images. Consequently, the police offered a caution rather than pressing charges, issuing a statement: "After four months of investigation by officers from Scotland Yard's child protection group, it was established that Mr Townshend was not in possession of any downloaded child abuse images." In a statement issued by his solicitor [11], Townshend said, "I accept that I was wrong to access this site, and that by doing so, I broke the law, and I have accepted the caution that the police have given me." As a statutory consequence of accepting the caution, Townshend was entered on the Violent and Sex Offender Register for five years[12]. This would normally prevent travel abroad, but in Townshend's case such restrictions have been waived, making possible his numerous concert performances with and without The Who since receiving the caution.
A later investigator stated that he was "falsely accused".[13] After obtaining copies of the Landslide hard drives and tracing Townshend's actions, investigative journalist Duncan Campbell wrote in PC Pro Magazine, "Under pressure of the media filming of the raid, Townshend appears to have confessed to something he didn't do." Campbell states that Townshend accessed a single site which was not connected with child pornography.[14]
Oh yeah, I'd like to register my appreciation for FUCK YOU TOWNSHEND FOR NOT COMING TO AUSTRALIA.
.....
Man, that felt better.
Seriously though; the Who are my favourites at the moment. What a pity I live on the Arse-hole of the planet..
