Absolutely. I saw the Stones in '76 and based on what I've seen on TV recently, I would not fork out the money to see them, even in the cheap seats. I had never seen the Who before (and frankly, had not been much into their music except for the very early stuff like Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy which was one of the first albums I purchased as a kid) and I have to admit with being very, very impressed. Daltrey is a superb vocalist and Townshend was an absolute animal at the show I saw (considering he's in his 60's-hell, even not considering that-I'm in full agreement with you-they were having a blast).Of more importance, as you alluded to, is the fact that Townshend and Daltrey had the good sense to surround themselves with other great musicians (Zak Starkey is a great drummer, unlike his father, and Pino Pallidino a superb bass player) to ensure a great performance. I was very impressed.
