On the Royal Albert Hall CD/DVD the solo is even longer in 5:15.

Yup I ment that one ;) I have both hea :P

I heard [I]Behind Blue Eyes[/I] on the radio yesterday. Pretty cool song. In fact I love it. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]they played this last show I like this list :) didn't think they would play love reign o'er me[/QUOTE]
I was just about to post that link so you guys could see the photos. So here it is:

I like the setlist ok. Very similar to what they have been doing for the last couple of tours, however. I hope this is just a change of pace kind of thing and they still intend to play the new stuff. Hell, the new stuff isn't even that long, so surely they might even include it in a set like this. Now who is going to see them soon? Dragon I think you are. We need full reports. :)

its a n00b's song :thumb:

naw, just kidding, I really like it. It used to be my favorite when all I knew I was Who's Next and Who Are You.

@JXD, I'm s excited that setlist is great just add Join Together and Docter Jimmy and then it's pure Who heaven

My Generation made a welcome appearance. I never get tired of that song live. Ever. It's a great one. And when they kick it into overdrive at the end it is fantastic.

They've done quite a few different versions of My Generation from what I've heard. In addition to the original version, they've done psychedelic versions, "My Generation Blues," and extended the ending into a few more minutes of feedback and noise.

That setlist is utterly boring. However, I'm not surprised that this playing "rarities" talk from Pete turned out to be load of bollocks....
Because this is the last tour, one would have tought they would do something
different than same stuff but as it stands it won't happen. One of Simon's
appearances on 'In The Attic' confirmed this too...

I must admit a change or two would be in order. Even if they play the new stuff. Happy Jack, I Can See For Miles, Pure And Easy, Squeeze Box, Getting In Tune, The Punk And The Godfather, and many more would be most welcome....

On another note [url]www.thewholive.tv[/url] (not a proper link) is completely up and running now and will be webcasting the entire Hyde Park Who set for 99 cents. Only up to 50,000 orders will be honored, so check it out. I watched the first one and it was like a slideshow. But the music came through loud and clear. Perhaps the fact that I'm in the States and the webcast originated from England had something to do with it? Maybe the server? I dunno? But 99 cents is a good deal even if just the audio comes through nicely. I would sign up again but won't be home and I will definitely be signing up when they hit the States...

omg I wish they were coming here. I would kill to see them. KILLL!

Is the show still as good even if it's just half of The Who?

^^That's what I was thinking, then I saw a special on PBS. The answer is yes.

I saw them two years ago, and yes, they still kick a[I]s[/I]s like you wouldn't believe. And it still feels like a genuine Who show.

IT WAS GREAT EXPECT A FUL REPORT WHEN I GET BACK

and everyone went crazy during my generation and and and I was standing front row ;)

^yay!

Get back soon. :)

Ok man, we're back up. WHERE IS THAT REPORT! :smash:

I finally got "Who's Next"!. I really like it. All tracks are strong but "My Wife" to me is a filler. "Going Mobile" is cheesy but i really like it. Best tracks IMO are "Water", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Pure and Easy", "The Song is Over", "Bargain" and "Going Mobile". Ive heard enough of "Behind Blue Eyes".

I really hope they play in Australia.

I think it's excused considering the site issues right now.

Just "edit" delete the extra posts. Welcome.

How late is The Who show tonight, I'm gonna watch uit du''hh ;)

K the report

first day, ai rrived at heathrow and went to my hostel ... If you cna call it a hostel it was damn ugly but it was really good situated near everything we needed. But we went to the shwo of Roger Waters ...
Well that was great the openerss were all good and Roger Waters was just mind blowing, amazing show, amazing hot weather and just great, DSOTM in t's entirely is just so good, bought a t- shirt there ... But I won't drag to long you wanna know about The Who ...
SO next day some things and The Who, I was in front(So I was with roger waters) and it was great again great openers. But then the who they kicked in and everybody was sining along, oew and almsot forgot, at the openers there were those giant ballons and me and a friend kicked 3 off them on the stage. But back to the who, they openend with can't explain which was great and they plaed all hits, one new song, Mike Post, was also nice, but the fun started during My Generation, the crow went nuts pits everywhere etc etc, and then won't get fooled again ti was fighting to stay at fornt so I couldn't enjoy the show that much, but it was fun in it's own way and all this pitting went trhough to the last song. The Who have a great team and a have a great show I say everyone see what's left of them, you won't regret it. And uhhm bought many cd's, POTC2 premiere was in town and have walked to almost every monument in london. :)

Sounds like a great time, Prince. I watched the gig on thewholive.tv replayed in full, as Pete wanted to make up for something that went wrong during the webcast. Oh, and I was wrong in my above post about the next few shows being played in their entirety for free. Just three or four songs, as I was mistaken but couldn't change or delete my post because of all the site problems the past few days.

I saw some pics of Hyde Park at the Pete website and I like the look of the stage set with the colorful screens. And pits at a Who gig? Fantastic! I to like Mike Post Theme. It's a good song. Mike Post I believe is known for writing musical scores of tv shows focused on middle age. So perhaps Pete is coming to terms with aging. And he did comment on how young the crowd was and how old The Who are at the gig. I think it's great the Who played a festival witha bunch of young bands and can still hold there own, musically and otherwise. And it's great to see people my age and younger embrace them.

Roger Waters I also enjoy. I much prefer Waters Floyd over any other, and The Wall and The Final Cut are among my favorite albums ever. I in fact consider them to be one work. Anyway, sounds like you had a great time at both gigs. Good deal, and it was good to hear back from you....

....thanks.....

Well, My Wife is an Entwistle tune. I've never heard it as filler, and a live version will definitely change your mind. Going Mobile is exuberant, perhaps even a bit cheesy. But if you get further into The Who you will come to discover they can be quite eccentric (or cheesy) at times. It's just all part of what makes this band go. Glad you're enjoying them.

Who's Next is for noobs :thumb:

heh, just kidding. My Wife is a good song, but I feel its one of Entwistles weaker songs. 905, Trick of the Light, Heaven and Hell, Boris the Spider, Fiddle About are all better.

I've always liked Success Story too. Heaven and Hell is my favorite Entwistle song though, it's such a monster live.

You an Quiet One are best song Entwistle did with the Who.....

BTW, Pete played whole AQO with acosutic guitar on ITA....
Show will be soon looped so watch it...

Yeah the who rocked hyde park it was awseome ,i got pissed off when someone through a bottle at daltrey though and i dnt think they should of ended with stuff from tommy,it didnt have a huge impact but i dnt care it was still great.

I like The Quiet One a lot. You, as well. And his stuff is the best thing about It's Hard along with a few Pete cuts. I also like Success Story and Trick Of The Light. I believe that one is his. But My Wife is still my fave. It's funny, and anyone who has ever f'ed up on a chick and has her [I]pissed[/I] can relate. And live it just blows everything away. Thanks for the heads up about Pete on ITA....

I really wish they would do away with the "Tommy Encore". They had moved it into the set for a few gigs and I thinks it's better there.

Roger looks mad ugly in that pic.

Entwistle was a terriffic songwriter. His songs were never predictable, and had original chord changed. His black humor is what turns a lot of people of to his songs, but I feel without the quirky-ness they wouldn't be John songs anymore.

[QUOTE=Lunch]I've always liked Success Story too. Heaven and Hell is my favorite Entwistle song though, it's such a monster live.[/QUOTE]
I love Success Story. Gotta love the fairy manager.

Plus, that song is in one of the coolest scenes in The Kids Are Alright DVD. I wish I had that many guitars.

[QUOTE=rockinbass17]Roger looks mad ugly in that pic. [/QUOTE]

Ack! 30 years ago, if you told me he was going to look like that, I would slap you and tell you that you were full of crap.

That's if I was alive 30 years ago...

All this talk of John got me searching on my music service for some of his work and I've been enjoying "Who's The Bass Player: The Ox Anthology and two live albums available only for streaming. One is The King Bisquit Flower Hour Presents John Entwistle and the other is the 24 track "Left For Live" (Deluxe). The anthology set has a whopping 38 songs. :)

And yeah, that black humor comes through. "Peg Leg Peggy", lol. And his studio stuff is interesting. Especially his own versions of the material he wrote for The Who. Heaven And Hell is really different. And his singing voice was thin but pretty good, as a matter of fact.

30 years ago, I'd go gay for Roger.

>_>

who wouldn't?

Oh for everyone who watched the hyde park show on the site of the who. Look when the tommy encore starts, the moment when Daltry gets those tamborines, don´t tae your eyes off him, he gets a bottle at his head.

GUYS! GUYS!

The Who just announced a tour date in my city!

OMG
OMG

I'M SO HAPPY OMGOMG

AS I'M TYPING THIS, I'M BLASTING LIVE AT LEEDS THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE HOUSE.

You can hear it clearly from outside. o_0

Haha.

I just found out they are coming to London Ontario (an hour away) and the presale is in 15 minutes. I'm gonna try to get a ticket so I can go with my cousin.

I too am blasting the LAL!

Live at Leeds is so good. Really, it's unfair to other albums.

Where are these tour dates? Help!

Yes! I got my tickets through presale. The seats are pretty far back, but they were $67 oppossed to the $128. Plus who needs to get [I]that[/I] close to the Who, they will rock my body from a mile away let alone inside the same arena.

Plus I'm not a major fanboy.

Damnit they aren't coming anywhere that close to me. And I'm going to be in the college so it will be hard for me to find a time to go. Why couldn't they just tour America in the summer like everyone else.
