For my money, the Floyd did a set that sounded almost note-perfect. Not exactly easy to do if you haven't played with the other guys for the best part of 15 years. Much respect, etc.
The Who... I'm still shocked that they played the full version of Behind Blue Eyes - I was wondering how that high pitched wail towards the end would come out, but it sounded great to me. Notice Daltry's mike was really taped to the cable....the rodies know of his 'mike swinging' habit! Ahh.. memories!

the who are a fantastic group but sadly never had a number one single :shock: hell knows why they made some gr8 tunes
Maybe because most Who fans bought the Albums?

No point, really; the singles market wasn't the right medium for them. They did release some - how else would they have got into jukeboxes in Croyden Cafe's otherwise?
I've never bought a single in my life, but I own the better part of 400 LP's and CD's - do they even make a CD single? I have no idea!
Interesting generation gap here... Most people over 40 cheered for the Floyd and the Who, and most people under 30 went mad for Robbie Williams.
I watched part of the show in a student-friendly pub, and the concert didn't get much attention from the patrons (most of them about 20yo) until they heard the first notes of 'Angels' - then all of a sudden they were all singing along like crazy :shock:
The Who elicited polite appreciation mostly centred around the fact that they were still able to put a physical performance 'at their age'
