Went to see this last night at the Concert Hall, Nottingham, and must say I was quite impressed.

There were a lot of empty seats, so you could just turn up and buy a ticket but the show was quite good.

As long as you don't expect the film on stage, you won't be disappointed. It took some working out why there were 4 guys playing Jimmy, but you do get a good selection of Who songs.

5.15 was superb, as was Love reign over me.

Ah... I remember being at the first live performance (apparently), Hyde Park 1996:

The Who
Bob Dylan
Eric Clapton
Alanis Morisette (Whom I'd never heard of at the time)

And a few others besides. A day to remember and only £8!

I remember seeing them play pretty much all of it in London supported by Kilburn & the high roads 1973 at The Lyceum

Officially "National Music Day" which somewhat sadly didn't become an institution.

Roger Daltrey got smacked in the eye by a mic stand wielded by Gary Glitter during rehearsals and performed the show with a "target" eye-patch.

Saw it at The Opera House in Manchester a few weeks ago. Wasn't expecting much, but it was pretty good tbh.
Quadrophenia has to be 'one' of my all time favourite albums, just brilliant
