The TP show was farking amazing... he covered the gamut, even playing a Traveling Wilburys song plus a couple old covers (I'm a man & Oh Well). In total a solid two hours of rocking.

The stage show was solid - excellent lighting and video screens. The crowd was just roaring along the whole way. The venue was probably 80% sold, which ain't bad considering they just put this show on the schedule a month ago, and already had gigs in Milwaukee, Chicago and Minny.  

I was a little bummed he didn't play Rebels or Even the Losers, but there were so many songs that I had forgotten about that I really have no gripes. He also did not try to endlessly pimp his latest release, choosing to only play two tracks from it.

Mike Campbell is so damn good, I really can't believe how little recognition the guy gets.

I do think this is it for the band. The show truly looked like a farewell.

F the Who. That band has been dead longer than Milhous.
