Definitely a different operation w/o The Ox. Never saw Moon and only saw
Kenney Jones on the farewell show from Toronto (on HBO). But I remember him
as a capable and solid drummer.
Zak Starkey is an amazing player. He's kept time for both Oasis and Johnny
Marr's solo band, The Healers. And may I just take a moment to stand in
defense of Pino Palladino -- one of the finest, but unsung English bass
players of his generation.

I don't know -- I saw the Who in 2006 and was quite impressed. Almost as
good as the Stones show I saw the same year. To each his own, I suppose.
Meanwhile, I saw McCartney in 2002 and didn't enjoy it so much, but that was
probably the venue (the Tacoma Dome is really rather poor, acoustically).
