[QUOTE=JXD]A few more albums need review, too. Including the RAH show. I'll be getting around to a couple. The RAH record pretty soon. Although I wish you would do it, as you might be kinder on the "special" guests...[/QUOTE]

No way I'd be kinder on the special guests. I don't think they destroy the performance or anything but I never saw the point in having them and to me I know the Who could carry on an outstanding concert without all the extra festival crap anyway.

Great bio you put up, Lunch. That's more like it. It's most likely the best one on sputnik. And it's three or four times bigger then the Beatles, Stones, or Zeppelin bio's. [I]Combined[/I]. We rock. :cool:

I found this pic while searching for one to replace the sputnik bio pic. It would of been perfect if not for one thing. You may already of seen this or have it in your big Who picture book. But maybe not. It's just so much is made out of an incident involving a couple of the principles in this pic, and I thought this was more like it. Real great picture.

I saw The Kids Are Allright this weekend. It was so good I couldn't belive it. I really think that besides perhaps the Woodstock DVD this is the best music dvd of all time. The part at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again when the lights come on at the "YEAHHHHH is one of the best moments in rock.

^That is a great moment. It's funny because if you listen to the Young Vic performance when they were first working out the song at the synth break Moon and Townshend are tinkering around during it, as if they weren't really sure if just quieting down was ok. And in the end it's that quiet that eventually came to the song in concert that builds the suspense and really winds up the explosion that begins with Moons drums kicking in and that famous Daltrey scream. It is amazing.

It is. I always say that that one moment, that scream with that slow motion slide by Pete, is perhaps the single greatest moment of Rock History.

Yeah if I had only ten minutes to show somebody who had never heard a rock song before what it was all about, I would play Won't Get Fooled Again from the Kids Are All Right. It was honestly the most visually stunning performance I've seen for except perhaps Jimi Hendrix's Wild Thing at the Montery Pop Festivle.

In fact I like that part so much I was thinking of printing this [url]http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/images/EamonnMcCusker/WhoMovie05.jpg[/url] out and making one of those homemade iron on tee shrits.

Such a great sight. Somewhere in my house, I have a tape of The Kids Are Alright, and recently having seen it for the first time in years, was awestruck. Won't Get Fooled Again live, the most definitive moment in rock and roll history?

I think so.

A local band did the same thing, albeit on a less impressive scale, a few years back. Got a bloody great cheer from the crowd.

I was looking for that yesterday to make my profile pic. Couldn't find it in a google search. Thanks, it gets the job done. I'm gonna rotate this and one of Pete windmilling. :)

Quick question for anyone Who knows or who has the Tommy/Quad DVD. On the Quad tour of '96 am I right in thinking Townshend played only acoustic guitar for those shows with the exception of a few songs and perhaps the encore? I'm pretty sure that is the case but I need to be certain. Any ASAP answers are greatly appreciated.

The encore is mostly accoustic to even Won't Get FooledAgain :)

Come to Calgary, damnit!

Give them some time, they aren't getting out of Europe yet.

Hey guys. I've just submitted a review for Live At RAH and someone has already down rated it. :(

Go to sputnik and throw some support behind this one. The Who deserve it. I don't care if you even read the review, go give this under appreciated Who album it's due. The Who will own sputnik yet!

:smash:

EDIT: And no one answered my question above, WTF? :angry:

That was a really great review John.

Edit: Over the last couple weeks I've noticed that this thread is really the part of R&M I'm into the most. I haven't been posting as much in the good ol' CR thread as I used to and this is the one I go to check first. For that reason I'd just like to tell all the regs here, for those of you who don't know, that my name is Mike. Some other users around the site that are familiar with me know that already, but if you don't there you go.

/Goes to CD reviews to support one of the greatest bands ever.

Geez, those rockin geezers need to get out of Europe and get over here. They especaily need to come to Detroit!

Thanks Lunch.

And yeah zabbit, they move slowly these days. I suppose the times of tearing through two sets a night are well past them now. By the time they make it to the states we'll be lucky if they can still stand, much less pull off a performance. I fear Pete might be half blind as well as half deaf, fall off the edge of the stage while leaping, and break a hip. :(

That's my new background on my computer now:cool:

:wave: 'sup Mike. I've known your name for a while now but for some reason I always call people by their usernames, not their real names. I'm Sam btw.

The best part about living where I do is that if anyone does a US tour, they always come to New York. Getting tickets is another story, but when (not if) The Who come over here, I [I]will[/I] be going.

NY ftw.

The problem with that is that tickets are [I]always[/I] more expensive here (sometimes by a lot) and they sell out much quicker. But I'm not complaining.

Speaking of the RAH performance you can see many songs from it live in the concert section of On Demand.

[QUOTE=robo2448]That's my new background on my computer now[/QUOTE]
I just made it The Who's bio pic at sputnik, too. :cool:


/goes back to listening to the RAH gig. Acoustic Drowned. Good stuff...

My parents said as soon as the Who tour dates are released they will pay for half of my ticket in the closest city. Can't wait, I hope I get tickets.

My only fear of seeing the Who is my expectations of their show will be so high I'm not sure with only two members left they will meet it.

I'm confident that they will perform at a high level and meet my expectations. This particular reincarnation of the Who has been playing together for quite some time.

Yeah I know well I just saw the Kids Are Alright and so the Who are like the god of live bands in my mind right now. I mean I always knew they were an amazing live band but now that I've actually seen how they play I'm just so blown away.

Yes, they are playing quite well together. Pino has settled in on bass, and Simon Townshend makes an excellent addition, as well. Plus Pete is excited about having some new tunes to play, and that is a plus. Hopefully they will re-work the setlist they have been sticking to for the last couple of tours as well.

I saw a performance from a late '94 gig they did in Japan on Towser TV at Pete's website, and they were excellent. The Japanese really went nuts for them and the band looked clearly pleased and a bit surprised by the reception. And they played like it, too.

The Who are not capable of putting on a bad show. You will not be let down.

[QUOTE=JXD]The Who are not capable of putting on a bad show. You will not be let down.[/QUOTE]

:p Those were just the right words to throw out any quistion that the show might not meet my expectations.

Hey guys. I have a 15 song sampler of The Who At Royal Albert Hall linked up and ready to go. Would of been longer, but I have a 100mb upload limit. Jeff, robo, and Tusk are already taken care of, as I had clear contact info for them. If anyone else wants it leave me your email in this thread and I will send you the link.

Would have liked to see some See Me Feel Me/Listening to You action though, as it is my favorite song, but its free, so who am I to complain?

You know John, always trying to put Tommy down.

Thanks John, downloading now.

I love having that pic as my background. It's nice to log on and see Pete sliding across the stage.

I usually rotate between the Who and Scarface.

Right now it's [url]http://pubpages.unh.edu/~ismith/Scarface.jpg[/url]

Here's my current desktop

I got a bunch of screenshots off of TKAA DVD, so I have like 4 pics of 'the slide'. Heh.

Pino is amazing bass players.. however with The Who his complete s*** and should not be on stage with them. For one, doesn't have balls to say anything anything about his sound situation, a person who supposedly is the definition of
professianal player but then again that's exactly the problem.

By the way, Pete played Let My Love Open The Door and Barefootin (with Chris from the Squeeze and his band) 'In the attic' show. It was great to watch...

^I saw that. And I believe it's still running for those who might want to catch it.

And give Pino a break, would you. He has big shoes to fill. So far as his sound, I'm not sure what you are talking about except for the volume he plays at. Which is lower then John's. But that is to be expected, I would think...

The Albert Hall gig is awesome. My only frown is John's voice, which seemed pretty weak on My Wife.

I just got done listening to Who Are You, next song's next, heh.

So as soon as I got home from school, I popped in a tape my dad has of The Kids Are Alright, and went to Won't Get Fooled Again. It's been a long time since I've seen it so it almost escaped my memory. All I have to say about that climatic ending:

:eek:
