OK, Kenney Jones is not a drummer with the kind of power and personality of the late Keith Moon. And the addition of keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick and a horn section were unexpected. Nevertheless, The Who proved Wednesday night that it is still one of rock's premier bands.

For those who didn't get a chance to see Pete Townshend's patented windmill guitar technique and Roger Daltrey twirling a microphone like a lariat, there's one more chance tonight. The Who perform again at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Paul Civic Center Arena. Hopefully with a day's rest, the band, which seemed a bit tired Wednesday, will be more consistently inspired.

As of Thursday afternoon, there were a few hundred tickets available.
