Excellent show. Pino had two Jaguar basses on stage, both black, one with matching headstock. He played the non-matching headstock all night. he ran them through s SVT's on 2 810 cabs.

The band sounded very tight. Played all their hits. Pete Townsend's brother played second guitar. Zach Starkey is an excellent Keith Moon replacement.

It was an outdoor festival here in Switzerland. They came onstage at midnight and played until 01:30. Really good show. They played two tracks from the upcoming, yet to be released and yet to be titled album that is scheduled to be released in October. Good tunes.

The Who is alive and well.

Pino's not using Ashdown anymore? Are you sure those were SVT's?

Word on the street is they will be embarking on another world-tour.

Last night he had two 810 cabs with two SVT tube heads. Blue grills, not black. I too was surprised. He's been using Ashdown/Bergantino's for a while.

As for the world tour, it kicks off in September/October
