    Saw them last year on the Quadrophenia tour. It was class. Supported by that old James Brown impersonator who's made a very good career for himself in his own right. Something Bradly I believe.

    Well worth going mate. you'll have a top night.

    Didn't fancy them on the Quadrophenia tour but definitely fancy this one. Absolute legends.

    Truth be told I was a bit sceptical which ended up making it all the more enjoyable mate.

    Unbelievable pal. I didn't know a lot of the stuff as I'm unashamedly a singles man. It blew my mind.

    Nice one mate. The thought of them playing the likes of Baba O'Riley and Behind Blue Eyes is a huge draw. I'm very tempted.

    saw them in 2000 at the arena - Entwhistle was still on the go and Joe Strummer's band was the support band - brilliant night all round

    It was worth the money just for the support band - anything after that was a bonus but what a bonus!

    I quite liked them but they are a bit old now, so I would not pay good money to watch them live..

    Saw them at the Locarno just after Tommy was released.
