This has been one hell of a week.. Three rock concerts, a job application, and a thunder storm that even Thor would be proud of. Talk about an experience.

Episode II: who are you?

Well after having a great time at the Tori Amos concert my week was off to a brilliant start. Monday dis have a serious not to it though: Job application. Right now I work at Heinz on an agency basis. It's not a bad situation, but it could be better. Specificly by getting a job with Heinz itself for which there is now an official vacancy. The interview went pretty well I thought. With only four applicants (and a work situation where we really need three extra people) I'd say my chances are fairly good. This being Heinz however I won't be counting my chickens just yet...

With the interview out of the way I had a couple of free days to enjoy. Something I had no problem doing Tuesday night.

It was simply put the mother of all concerts. I have seen some great ones, some TRULY great ones, but nothing beats The Who.

They were just sheer fucking awesome!! I have never enjoyed a concert so much in my life! Since their last album Endless Wire (2006) was their first in 24 years the old material greatly outweighed the new. Since it was that we had all come to hear... there were no complaints

They played so many great songs.... The Seeker, Baba O'Riley, My Generation. The only one I ended up missing was Join Together... but you can't get everything right? The show was well put together and the opening act (The Cult ) got the crowd well warmed up despite being a generation ahead of most of their audience! And that Zak Starkey on drums...damn! It was also nice to see The Who, widely conciderd to be the most influential rock band of all time, pay a little tribute to the man who had influenced them. Dedicating the song Good Looking Boy to Mr. Elvis Presley.

The new material that came by held it's own against the old classics (especially Man in a Purple Dress) and there were many songs I had not yet heard. Being a recently new Who fan I haven't had the chance to deeply immerse myself in their work. But I most certainly will now! The whole show just blew me away... and the the encore!

They played a good chunk of Tommy, Pinball Wizard (of course!) and the last bits of We're Not Going to Take It, before closing the show with an acoustic song (of which I have forgotten the title unfortunately ). Total brilliance!

You want to see Rock 'n Roll at its best.... go see The Who! I know I will go again next chance I get!
