I've been helping my son with his homework and then we leave for a weekend camping trip so The Who have to wait.....
Or should I send him to boarding school now?

Listening now to the hard disc SHM CD Disc 9.
A little story I was at the infamous show, The Who at The Cow Palace, Nov 20th, 1973. It was the first show (12 Shows) of there Quadrophenia Tour. Keith Moon was too high and fell off his drum chair twice, Pete said he had jet lag, yeah right. They asked for a drummer to play from the audience, he did and played two songs, The Who split and fans where pissed off including me.
The best news of the night was Lynyrd Skynyrd opened the show, and blew everyone's socks off, we all bought Lynyrd Skynrd albums the next day. Free Bird was born in San Francisco and the rest was history. Glad to have been there.
So this concert Disc 9 DEC 13th 1971, was before that, which I did not go to.
The venue is now called Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
I was a long time rock concert poster collector and I could never find a poster listing The Who and Lynyrd Skynrd at the 1973 Cow Palace, but many years ago I purchased the news paper clipping from eBay, happy day to find it. Hangs in my garage now. This shot is just partial to show the dates. I also have the poster for the concert but only lists The Who.

Well, believe it or not, this is my first ATMOS listen from the hard disc Blu Ray. Listening at 80db.
I have needed to wait for the perfect moment and drugs.
I warmed up with the Blu Ray Atmos of Steven Wilson's Harmony Codex.

…so don’t take it TOO seriously 
Starting to dig through the box set CD’s.
Pete’s demos are nothing short of amazing.
It’s incredible how fully formed the songs are even as demos.
I had the same feeling after listening to the “Scoop” albums:
It can be argued if The Who were the world’s best band - but there is no doubt they were the world’s best cover band

Well that changed quickly!
LOL, Bastages!
My link redirects you to amazon uk.. probably cause I'm in Greece .try searching amazon us direct. I'm(still ) showing it at $209.
Nope. $226.16 at Amazon US. Same as before.
Weird .. here is a screenshot I just took .. I wonder why you don’t see what I’m seeing ?

Mine is showing -25% off for $226.18 here in Sacramento CA; perhaps there are regional taxes involved.
Possibly , Amazon can be funny in that way I guess..
Can't see from your screenshot; who is the seller?
When I look (I am in the US), I see the $226 price from Amazon. I see another seller has it for $209 without free shipping, but I tend to avoid third-party sellers on Amazon.
Doesn’t specify .. ships from Oxfordshire as best as I can tell ..
Maybe if I switch delivery to the US I’ll see what you guys are seeing ..

It does actually; the seller is listed as OxfordshireEngland in your screenshot. (The "ships from" is also specifying a company name, not a location.)
Personally, I'd avoid it.
Thanks I I think I will , plus I’m afraid I’d be charged VAT , value added tax once it arrives here in Greece , thanks to Brexit
I bought it from that seller for $210 yesterday. It went to $209 right after that. I'll let you know how it goes ...
