What a great concert . I have liked The Who since I was a kid but never made the effort to go see them in concert but I got the chance to go see them tonight. Great dinner, seats in the skybox again, amazing view, amazing music...for two guys that are 72 and 73 I am amazed they went 2 hours without a hitch and with all out energy...This was their last concert in America this year. If you get a chance to see them I suggest you do....it is well worth it...

Tahoe concert series, what a big surprise that is for sure.

From Wiki...


After Townshend became weary of touring, the group split in 1982. The Who occasionally re-formed for live appearances such as Live Aid in 1985, a 25th anniversary tour in 1989 and a tour of Quadrophenia in 1996?1997. They resumed regular touring in 1999, with drummer Zak Starkey. After Entwistle's death in 2002, plans for a new album were delayed. Townshend and Daltrey continued as the Who, releasing Endless Wire in 2006, and continued to play live regularly.

Saw em at Angels Stadium back in the last 70's I'd guess. Even to this day, that was the most high energy concert I've Ever seen.

Have Foreigner, Cheap Trick and Nickleback still left to see this summer.

The old bands that are Still playing are still playing for a reason, they still know how to kick azz! :tbi

I have no clue who Eric Church is but it is the last show in the Tahoe Concert Series but we are still going back up...just got back tonight. If I can get 2 extra VIP tickets to the Dinner and the SkyBoxes Rob I will give you a call and get you +1 into the dinner and the show with us. All the food and drinks you want COMP...even though between my wife and I we had 2 drinks but the people behind us had roughly 30 between 4 people and were double fisting it...like they never had a free drink in their live or they were 21 lol...

He sings country/ rock music. He's pretty good one of my wife's favorites. We have seen him already once this year in Sacramento but I had a little to much fun and so I promised her we would go again [emoji23]. Thanks Greg
