a few years back, i co-produced/co-directed a nine camera live performance of the who at carnegie hall here in new york city for cable (ended up on disney of all places!)
in dealing with roger/pete and their management, it was clear that they were concerned that their music would not be heard by the then current 16-24yr old music buying public.
the show turned out rather well (it had more to do with their talents than my own) and i'm not surprised that they have attempted to make their music available thru a myriad of venues. if licensing hit songs from their glory days allows then to continue to play music, i'm all for it.
once again, it's my-my-my gen-gen-generation.
be well
