THE REVIEW
October 13, 1982.
Second show. The temple of the Beatles awaits the Who. Topper Headon is missing, but the rain is not.
Kosmo Vinyl introduces the supporting band:
"Good evening New York City.. We ain't got no baseball! No baseball tonight.
We ain't got no football! They're on strike.
But what we've got is a little bit of what's going on in London at the moment".
Followed by 49 minutes of 'The only band that matters'.
For the listening experience, now as at Shea, just forget Townshend in the dressing room, clench your cheeks, and raise your arms.
Fist or middle finger, your choice.
