[QUOTE=Obi One Kenodi]I [i]really[/i] wish I could go, but alas I live in America. Amagin if they had Flea come out to play a few numbers with, it would the closest to having John back they've come so far.[/QUOTE]
That would be wild with Flea kicking out the jams with the Who. If Pino wouldn't be insulted. And I'm sure he wouldn't. He's a real pro. Just the thought of Flea going nuts with The Who makes me tingle in a very special place. :)

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]T in the park is in scotland

You will make it for The Who. WTF Sting at the sacrifice of The Who, WTF? :confused:

It probably will be 7 july sting
8 july plain to scotland, arrive there before chili peppers, and watch them

Yup, it'll be a great trip ^^ :)

Sting, RHCP and The Who in 3 days :P could it be better? :P(Yes live 8 :P)

I don't care about Sting or the RHCP really, but it would be cool to see them anyway. And the Who finishing it off would be incredible.

I think it's about time I start posting in this thread.


After having, and loving the album [I]Tommy[/I] for awhile now, I finally saw the film. It was pretty weird.

Yeah, so this Concert In The T or whatever sold out in an hour. Good start, I say....

Get the hell out. We've been happy here. :angry:

I don't really like the film all that much. Which is saying something for me, the biggest Tommy whore around here. I heard the musicial was awesome though. I've heard the soundtrack and it was great.

I want to see the Quadrophenia movie, I've heard promising things about that too.

Edit: Have they released any dates yet?

Nothing solid for the tour. They are getting busy, though. Pete and Roger are set to play some dates at a Liverpool shindig (not as the Who) and I believe the band is set to play another Princess Trust concert. Or whatever it is. Pete's website has more info in The Who section. It's a members only thing, so I'm gonna copy and paste later, as I have to leave my house for a moment.

Ok cool. Make sure you keep us updated if we don't get the info.

@JohnXDoe, idd one hour, there me was in time through the waitline on ticketmaster.co.uk and than all of a sudden I couldn't order them from holland =S

Didn't realise there was a Quadrophenia movie.

/Has 4 tickets to T In The Park.

:smoke:

That sucks, man. I hate when that happens. I mean, I've been shut out before because of a sellout, but never because I couldn't order from my location. What's up with that?

Meh, you can still see them sometime this year, most likely. Hopefully Holland orders will be accepted. :p
[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Didn't realise there was a Quadrophenia movie.[/QUOTE]
Yup. It's very good and I highly recommend it. It stands on it's own as it's own film, too. It's not a musical like the Tommy film. It's a straight drama and it tells the story straight. It's got it all. Jimmy, the Face, mods, rockers, rioting on the beach, uppers, downers, all arounders. GS Scooters. The whole mod thing. And it's got a remixed (by John) Quadrophenia soundtrack that perfectly suits the film. Do check it out.

Yeah, well, enjoy your smoke. :angry:


/envy

I heard the remix for the soundtrack was great. Although I never really cared much about the whole mod thing, it would still be interesting.

Liverpool next?

The Liverpool Echo have announced today that the band will be playing two dates in Liverpool in early July. The story runs:

Guess Who's coming to the Pops? Feb 17 2006

EXCLUSIVE by Joe Riley, Liverpool Echo

ROCK legends The Who are to play Liverpool's Summer Pops.

And not once but TWICE Ringo Starr's son Zak Starkey will be their drummer for the double whammy in July.

Today, Who frontman Roger Daltrey told the ECHO: "We can't wait to be back in Liverpool.

"It's been almost 40 years." Daltrey and fellow original Who legend Pete Townshend play the 4,000-seater big top on July 5 and 6.

A quick sell-out is expected when tickets go on sale at 9am NEXT Friday, February 24.

Prices range from 34.50 to 42.50 (pounds sterling). The concerts are the band's only dates in the north.

It will be the first time they have performed in Liverpool since a date at Liverpool University in October 1971.

The gigs come as The Who prepare to release their first album of new material for two decades.

But the emphasis of the Liverpool programme will feature back catalogue mega-hits such as My Generation and Pinball Wizard.

Roger Daltrey said: "Liverpool has such a great musical history. I can't believe it's been almost four decades since we played there.

"We're really looking forward to the show"
* Ticket hotline: 0870 151 4000.

As far as I know this show HASN'T yet been confirmed but I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Matt

yes I know :) it's good to see that many dates

*still hoping for holland dates*

Now if they only would vary their setlist that would be great but I guess that's why they play Europe.
Great way to justify to themselves playing the same ol tunes in same order each show with no varaition of any kind.

Hey, I'm just happy they're able and willing to tour again at age 60+. Cut them some slack.

John: Looks like good news, I'm just waiting for those U.S. dates.

Edit: My local CD shop has the deluxe edition of Who's Next (the one with the live disc and the bonus material) on sale for $20, so I might try to pick that up soon. It's still expensive but obviously much better than $30, and I want that live disc.

I've been wanting that live disc for a long time. I've never seen it for less than $30 though. But I'm starting to think it might be worth that much.

I know, I was on the verge of thinking that too. Live Who from 1971 is too good to pass up at any cost.

Woah, theres a delux version of a Who's Next with a Live Disc? Get it Lunch, and the upload it so I don't have to pay thirty dollars. ;)

Send me some money. Donate to the live Who fund.

[QUOTE=Lunch]Send me some money. Donate to the live Who fund.[/QUOTE]
hahahaha......Ha!

Not in a million years, Lunch my boy. :smash:

On a related note, that Who sure can rock, amirite? Yes I am. :)

I never did get that deluxe version of Who's Next :cry:

But yea, it's a scientific fact that the Who can rock.

John, have you heard the deluxe edition of Who's Next, the one with the live disc? It looks awesome.

^I have not heard that. I wasn't even aware one was available until I read the news from you. I checked my music service for it and they have the regular deluxe version with Pure and Easy, Water, Naked Eye, I Don't Even Know Myself, etc. A few of the tunes sound like they were recorded "live" in the studio, but no, it's not a live disc. Just bonus stuff. I also checked where I buy my music (allofmp3.com) and they have every single Who album under the sun but no Who's Next at all. Even the standard version, wtf?

I went shopping for the new U2 Live DVD tonite and thought I might pick up the Tommy/Quad thing, but they still want $35. I was hoping for a sale price. Not that its not worth it, but damn. With tax it's a $40 deal. I have a hard time paying that much for a DVD. So I picked up the U2 [I]and[/I] a 30 song, two hour twenty minute recent live Bowie disc (A Reality Tour) for $25 dollars combined. Now that's what I call a deal. :)

I think this is the one I have. Some of the bonus tracks are really nice, they show a lot of different sides to the Who; they were definitley versatile. With the whole ambitious idea of the Lifehouse project, Townshend wanted to connect with the fans, so the band played quite a bit of the unreleased songs in a local venue. That's where the live cuts came from.

Yeah, I'm listening to it right now. It's pretty freakin good. Even the familiar cuts sound like different recordings then were released over the years. And yeah, the live sounding stuff is great. Could be a club, like you say. For instance, at the beginning of Water a small audience sounds on hand. It's good stuff.

That was kickass. The Who are my favourite classic rock band, and Quadrophenia is my second favourite album of all time.
