The Who - never the same after Mad Moon passed away</
Oh come on.....are you serious? They can still, to this day, fill any main stadium in the world as the headline band.....so how have they faded away? With all respect to Moonie, they are probably bigger today than when he tragically kicked the bucket.
Anyone who thinks The Who effectively died along with Moon and Entwistle obviously didn't see any of their shows at the Royal Albert Hall or on the recent mini-tour of the UK. They were on fire.

Or at the Shepperds Bush Empire, although Entwistle was still going at the time

They were fantastic at the RAH. They changed after Moon died but as I said earlier up the thread, Entwistle's death changed their sound more.

All their best music was recorded when Moon was alive. Creatively they have been dead since he died even if still a great live band

They only recorded two albums after Moon died and whilst there were a few gems in them, were miles away from their best releases. This was partly due to the era (early 80's) and the writing style of the tracks rather than Moon not being there though.
Edit. They did release Wire & Glass in 06 but was really like a Townsend solo album with Daltrey singing the songs. Still some decent tracks though

I think it's the fact that they were older. I'm pretty sure that most musicians are at their creative peak in their 20s. Ok there's the odd exception like Scott Walker who make more interesting music as they get older, but the albums get further and further apart
It was at the old Docklands Arena, mate, immediately before the Wembley date you went to, which my brother also went to. We'd beaten Chelsea at home on the Saturday and this gig was, what, on the Tuesday, and I remember thinking, what a week...

What happened there? On Your Toes is a favourite album of mine.
