Last night I was fortunate enough to see The Who at the Liberty Stadium Swansea. Nigel, Gill and Martyn Evans were there and we all enjoyed a great show. I was suprised that the show was not sold out but to be honest it seemed like there had been a poor promotion.

No fanfares, no big introductions but at 8.30pm 6 men walked on stage and by 8.31 the stadium came alive to "Can't Explain." There were issues with the sound not least being that it kept cutting out as if there was a power cut. surely it was not the volume? because to be honest for a band that used to be the loudest in the world it was relatively tame! They lost the sound during "Who are you?". Undefeated, they tried again and get almost to the end when they lost the sound again. Pete Townsend then said "well there is no point in doing it again. I think we should all know who we are by now!"

The band ran through loads of their hits. The highlight for me, and worth the £50 ticket alone, was "Won't Get fooled Again" Daltery's scream has to be the best in rock!

A great start to my birthday weekend!
