On June 6, 2000, the Who launched a full scale tour of the US and the UK. You could say there was just a touch of irony in the fact that a band which had played their farewell tour in 1982, and whose lead singer had once written “hope I die before I get old, was still on the road in the new millennium. Of course, reunions and post-farewell tours were nothing new for The Who. From their appearance at Live Aid in 1985 to their 1989 tour in celebration of the band's 25th anniversary to a 1996 tour performing Quadrophenia to additional shows in 1997 and 1999, the Who had continually found their way back to the concert stage. The 2000 tour featured The Who as a 5 piece ensemble, with original members Roger Daltrey, Pete Towshend and John Entwistle joined by John Bundrick on keyboard and Zach (son of Ringo!) Starkey on drums. The tour, which stretched into 2001, also was the last that included John Entwistle. On June 27, 2002, just days before their next US tour was due to begin, Entwistle was found dead from a heart attack at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Cocaine had played a role in triggering the fatal attack. This soundboard recording, therefore, from September 24, 2000, 14 years ago today, captures the band on its last ride with its original bassist. Download this one, then come back on 9-30 for part 2 of this “Same Tour, Different Show” entry

A small correction....
The 1989 was the 25th Anniversary of the band but only the 20th Anniversary of Tommy.

I never saw them with Keith or after The Ox.

On a side note.. The Quadrophenia shows weren't an anniversary divisible by 5 but followed a one-off show in Hyde Park (where The Stones and Blind Faith had historical moments) for the Prince's Trust Charity. Highlights were on HBO a couple of days later. I believe Master was in the show's title since MasterCard sponsored it (probably covering production costs and possibly a donation). I believe Gary Glitter did the tour as well as the one-off while David Gilmour only did the one-off. Those shows were a couple of years after the 30th Anniversary box set -- meaning they missed that anniversary as well the album's.

Thanks for the show (as always)
