The Who returned to Nashville for the first time in many decades. In fact the last time The Who performed in Middle Tennessee was when they had the original lineup including Keith Moon and John Entwistle. That was “The Who By Numbers” tour in the mid 1970’s. Today there are only two original members still living and they are still performing with the energy level and playing ability they’ve always had, even though Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are now in their late 60s. The Who is currently on tour celebrating the anniversary of the Quadrophenia album. Brian Hasbrook and Mike Arnold were looking forward to seeing The Who again, but preferred a greatest hits show instead of a album concept show. Enjoy Mike Arnold’s concert review of The Who in Nashville, TN.

This show was mostly a greatest hits concert with a few of the older FM album cuts thrown in for fun (as it should be). Enjoy Mike Arnold’s concert review as he takes you through the set list to describe Styx’s Nashville concert.

Elvis - The King of Las Vegas
Written by Mike Arnold
Back in the late 1960s Elvis Presley started a trend in Las Vegas that still continues today, rock music at casinos. This trend seemed to work for the casino business, although I personally never understood the mix. If you are visiting a casino, it seems to me that music would be the last thing on your mind, unless you are celebrating a huge payoff! If I wanted to attend a concert at a casino, gambling would be the last thing on my mind, but I’m not a gambler.
