May 29 was the first time the Who played Tommy in its entirety but after following Joe Cocker and Buddy Rich's incredible sets, they seemed nervous. The set was uneven and not up to the previous two. The Chicago Tribune wrote about the success of the Tommy album a year later and recounted the story that I remembered the same way. But the article noted that at the following night's show the Who killed it. I've often wondered whether I would have preferred a great concert over seeing Tommy for the first time, and have never really answered that question.
