    Venue:

    Recording: BBC Radio 2 Broadcast
    Comments: BBC's Electric Proms sees The Who's one-off at the London Round-
    house. Though the show date was October 29th, it didn't air on BBC Radio 2 until
    November 4, 2006. Apparently there is also a DVD of the show that either has been
    or will be released.

    "Johnnie Walker introduces The Who to a crowd that can barely believe they're about
    to witness one of the best live bands of the last forty years in the beautiful and in-
    timate surroundings of The Roundhouse. The band proved to rattle off hit after hit
    as well as performing in the world premiere of their brand new mini opera Wire &
    Glass
    .

    "Baba O' Riley" really get the crowd in the party mood while Zak Starkey performs
    brilliantly on a Keith Moon esque double drum kit.Daltrey spins himself and his mic
    around on a wondeful "Pinball Wizard" while Townshend proves he still cut the mus-
    tard with some fantastic guitar playing on "see me feel me"

    By the end it's clear this is more than just a gig. It's a musical extravaganza that
    provides a fitting finale to the inaugural BBC Electric Proms."
