Product: The Who - The Vegas Job (2003)
Rating: 5.0
Short set = incendiary performance
I was there. I was blown away. From the opening chords of I Can't Explain, to a (then) unanticipated Anyway Anyhow Anywhere, through a sneering and funky Magic Bus... the Who played like they had something to prove, but also with a lightness of spirit that always characterized the band but seemed to have gone missing post-Moon. Roger and Pete seemed to have rediscovered the rivalry that drove the band-- notice as one constantly tries to upstage the other. The set was shorter than what morphed into the 2000 tour. But it was perfect. The best show in the post-Moon era that I have heard (and I've listened to and been to a lot), and possibly the best since Charlton.
