I am soooo with you on this one!  The Who went through Calgary a few weeks 
ago, but they didn't do "Love Reign on Me."  But after hearing Ann sing it 
in Seattle I am really happy they didn't.  What a great track....and altough 
a wonderful track for Daltry; what an amazing vocal tribute Ann actually 
performs to great song.  After hearing, what I think to be the best lyrics 
in the world - "SeeMe, Feel Me" at The Who.   I would hate to have (to 
attempted) to have compare the two vocalists.

Same in Seattle - without the tears.  There are very few songs which bring 
tears to my eyes - Dreamboat Anne isn't one of them - for me.  But, I can 
certain see why!

"The kick" was missing in Seattle...not certain why.  My only complaint was 
the show was too short...but, I was there.  And that was what blowing money 
in a foreign country was all about!  :)  For that short period of time.

As for shaking the rafters - yup, and them some.  That song was more than 
worth the price of admission!
