Being a huge Who fan, I won't get my hopes up until I hear it. I just can't see why they couldn't manage to do this ten years ago? There are a couple of demos on Another Scoop that were suppose to be for the follow up to Face Dances. Oh, I can't remember the name of the track at the moment, but it's a killer and was probably beyond the abilities of the band in 1982. I'd just like to think having Rog onboard might keep some of Pete's excesses in check. That said, I loved the "music only" version of Psychoderelict. I would also hope that "The Who" includes Zac on drums. We should talk more about this if it actually come out.
