The venues were actually pretty good.  The first Who was at Tanglewod.  
The second was at Saratoga.  Both have very good sound even out on 
the lawn.  They were designed for that purpose.

 RW> the wHo and could hear the Keyboad guy's monitors almost as
 RW> well as the mains.  tHis was iirc 1979.

The ones I was at was in c 1970 and 1972.  

 RW> the WHo from a good vantage point where the sound was still good. 
 RW> sTill got a lot of their monitor sound in that position.

 RW> Almost didn't get to enjoy that vantage point though as
 RW> house lights were going to be coming up between acts and one of our
 RW> party froze on the catwalk.  A bit of a fear of heights .

Didn't bother him when he couldn't see the abyss in the dark, did it!
