Get The Who live

Here's a souvenir you couldn't buy at The Who's Honolulu and Maui concerts two weeks ago: CD recordings of both shows, direct from the band's soundboard. The Who has authorized full-length recordings of every one of its 2004 shows for fans to order online as two-CD sets.

At $27.50 each, memories of "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "My Generation" aren't cheap. But proceeds from all sales go to youth charities. Visit www.thewhostore.com.

FINAL WORD

Greg Morago | Hartford (Conn.) Courant, on the attention Hawai'i is getting from four current TV shows:

"It's not like Hawai'i has gone wanting for TV recognition. After all, there was 'Hawaii Five-O,' 'Magnum, P.I.' and more recently, 'Average Joe: Hawaii.' But maybe it was 'American Idol's' Jasmine Trias aloha spirit that got the lu'au going ... Whatever, King Kamehameha would be proud."
