After an hour of music from the opening band, the members of the Who walked out on stage and immediately began rockin' the house with "I Can't Explain".  They played 17 songs and a 3-song encore in a concert that ran over 2 1/2 hours.  I expected the music to be similar to their live recordings, consisting of songs that were faintly similar to their studio versions, but was treated instead to a line-up of songs that only had a little variation from their studio recordings.  Their selection of songs were also different from those on their live recordings.  In addition to the standard greats "I Can't Explain", "I Can See For Miles", "Substitute", "Pinball Wizard", "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere", and "My Generation",  they added "The Seeker", "I Can See For Miles", the great "Who Are You", "You Better You Bet", 4 songs from my favorite recording, Quadrophenia ("The Real Me", "I'm One", "5:15", and an "unplugged" version of "Drowned" with Pete alone with his guitar), and four from their best work, Who's Next ("Baba O'Riley", "Bargain", "Getting In Tune" and of course "Won't Get Fooled Again").
