Departure of John Entwistle? Huh? John's never left. And the versions of "My 
Wife" on the last tour (2000) were amazing.

Granted, The Who hasn't released an album since '82 (and a great one since 
the 70's), but they're definitely back in top form live. If we're talking 
about The Who circa their '82 "farewell" tour, I'd completely agree with your 
take. It was a shell of the real thing. But in 2000 (and at the NYC show), 
they're back to full power.

They're both great.
