Who Concert Tonight At 7

Same for me.

Who?

lolololol

nice post, wanderer. glad you enjoyed yourself at both events. i catch the ITA clips on youtube. and thanks for those links. i'll be checking them out.

so far as apple pie and broken arrow are concerned we shall expect full reports on the show tonite.

i also want to remind you both and anyone else going to a gig that you ticket is a membership in The Who's online fan club which includes the "Squeeze Box" media player with a ton of content and more to be added. its free, the only catch being you need a credit or debit card to join because after a year its not free anymore and the card is auto billed unless you cancel in time. so make sure to mark the date and cancel in time!

you need a "promo code" to join. one you were supposed to get with your ticket. if you didn't get one just folllow the steps and they'll send you one, they also have an active message board full of Who fanatics. i have eight posts and the fanboyism is rampant (they even defend Its Hard!) but i'm working my way through it. nice diversion when this thread isn't active and i feel like talkin' some Who :)

I wasn't at shows, I just posted peoples reviews here and I would never give give credit card info to 'The Who's online fan club' considering what they do with it... that whole "fan club, we need credit card even if you have the promo code in order to join the site' is ****ed up system in order collcet credit card information and pass it around...

and there's already very good (best) messageboard for The Who.
Organized and moderated well.

Why wouldn't one defend It's Hard. Has few great classic songs that are way better than anything on upcoming record, minus perhaps God speaks of Marty Robbins and 2000 Years.

your link doesn't work, wanderer. and i don't care about giving my CC info. i do it all the time. i don't think anything sinister is going on at The Who's official website. i like the video (especially the live footage and tour stuff) and the most up to date news and reviews and setlists and stuff.

Its Hard is obviously mostly shi.t. sorry, but true. and you know that pete's solo work at that time was far superior. And I wish you would name me some songs off Its Hard that are "way better" then Endless Wire, Man In A Purple Dress, We've Got A Hit, Tea & Theatre, Mirror Door, Mike Post Theme, etc....i can go on and on. Cry If You Want and Eminence Front are just as good. But no more. And while their are maybe 3 more halfway decent recordings on the album, the rest is mostly crap.

sorry but true, your mentioned EF, CIYW are already better than all the new stuff combined minus Marty Robbins/2000 Years unless of course they are ruined by Roger doing the "singing" (mostly pretty flat barking these days. shame that Townshend waited too long)...
besides comparing to It's Hard is ridiculous, if one wants to do comparisons then it should really be done to previous Townshend record and truth is except couple songs new stuff doesn't come even close to that either, mainly because Pete has to try accomodite Roger hence songs like Uncerain Girl aren't on the record evetough it is clearly superior song that most tracks on the new record.

[QUOTE=Wikipedia]In 2003 Townshend received a police caution after acknowledging a solitary paid access of what was reported to be a child pornography website in 1999. He claimed in the press and on his website to have been engaged in research for "A Different Bomb" (a now abandoned book based on an anti-child pornography essay published on his website) and his autobiography. He was added to the British list of registered sex offenders for five years after police confiscated 14 of his computers and found no child pornography.[/QUOTE]

I'm really jealous of all you guys.

nope, sorry dude. not true at all. I have ears, i know enough about music and songwriting to know those two songs are not better then the entire new album "combined". thats silly. the new album is good, it is The Who, and everyone should just get used to it. :smash:


thanks for fixing that link info....
[QUOTE=fwqhgads;13357299]: ([/QUOTE]
yeah. i tried to bring that up as a topic of conversation here a long time ago when someone on the board used it against pete. he was vindicated, and as you can see no CP was found in his possesion or on any of his [i]14[/i] computers at home, in studio, or his offices. these were computers that were offically his and he had plenty of time after his initial access to download, etc...before the cops busted him some time later. so he is in the clear. completely. still very unfortunate. and really stupid to make him a "registered sex offender" after one brief visit to a website. using his CC for furthur access is what really did him in. perhaps a mistake, but hardly a serious crime, IMO.

Yeah, I just thought it was kind of gay that he's now a registered sex offender. That position belongs to Uncle Ernie and Ivor the Engine Driver. >: (

i didn't think Ivor was a 'sex offender.' He was just someone that kept the missus company, before she was forgiven (god I love that part)

meh

I always thought that the girl was a younger girl, and imagined Ivor as some sick old pervert.

"YOU ARE FORGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEN"

wow best show ive seen, the tribute song to elvis was ace.

[QUOTE=apple pie;13360645]wow best show ive seen, the tribute song to elvis was ace.[/QUOTE]
so do you have any details for us?

I've started to listen to The Who a lot after a pretty lengthy hiatus. Listened to Q the other day and now it's Tommy's turn. Last Thursday, I saw Almost Famous, and when they played Sparks I realized that I haven't listened to Tommy in forever. So I need to fix that now. And it's amazing.

np- Acid Queen

a hiatus from The Who? :confused:

makes no sense :(



/shakes head in bewilderment

how could this happen

its a stciky situation. we may have to revoke robo's membership. if we had memberships.

:smash:

I forced myself to take a break from them just so I could keep their albums fresh sounding, in my mind. I was listening to them too much so I had to switch things up a bit. But then last week they regained control of my top weekly artists on last.fm. Now all is well again.

this is worse then i could of imagined. the blasphamy of it all :eek:

I have veto power over you though.

It wasn't hiatus. I just went a while without listening to them much. It wasn't a concious thing.

/disgraced:(

You just said it was a hiatus. Make up your mind damnit!

[QUOTE=Lunch;13361940]You just said it was a hiatus. Make up your mind damnit![/QUOTE]

It wasn't! I just haven't listened to them very much since June. But it wasn't a hiatus. I went awhile without listening to much of The Beatles either. Kind of weird.

Erroneous! Erroneous on both accounts!

Okay so I saw the Who last night. I don't wanna type anything huge, mostly because the setlist was pretty reminiscent of all the others, still it was an amazing show.

Can't Explain and the Seeker starting off the evening and really got the crowd going with Pete's crazy windmills and such. They played alot of new stuff throughout the evening which I thought was pretty solid. I also really liked how well the EP flowed live, very well done. I was especially impressed with a song written about that spiritual advisor who's name escapes me right now, but you'll know who it was. It was a really chilled out song with the videos monitors showing videos of waves and oceans etc. SPeaking of the monitors they had some really cool stuff up there, much better than I'd expected. When they werent showing old footage of the band they usually had crazy trippy/cool animations and videos happening which were well done.

Highlights-Pete's Windmills, Roger's mic swinging, Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba, My Generation, Who are You, The Tommy set (I was so excited they played Sparks). The whole thing was amazing though.

Only thing I wish was abit better was for awhile during Sparks I couldn't really hear the punishing bassline. Which I like the best part. Well I could hear it but not as well as I'd like to.

oh yeah, I loved moe. too, I thought they had some really cool jams, and they changed variation often. They only thing is there lyrics werent great but who cares? They were awesome at playing, especially Rob, the bassist.

Also the performance was filmed and recorded for a DVD/CD and my buddy who also went to the show, floor seats (luck bastard) is gonna order it. So I'm totally gonna burn that off him.

I know I didnt cover shiiit in this so if anyone has any concert questions please ask. :)

Sounds awesome. I wish I could have seen them when they came here. And the bass is the best part about Sparks! But I suppose it can't be quite the same without John. Seriously, though the bassline carries that song. If I ever need something to pump me up, Sparks always does the trick. Especially the Live at Leeds version.

:smoke:

I've downloaded that one aswell. Great show indeed. I'm keeping mine in FLAC though, as it's now my codec of choice..

As for converting from FLAC, I'd recomend downloading foobar2000. You can add the FLAC files, and simply right click>>convert>>convert to, then pick your codec (use mp3 or I'll kill you) you can set up the kbps by clicking on the "..." button.

If you need any help with it just post here

FLAC has the win quality right?

It's a lossless codec that supports tagging. ^_____^

Also: As it turns out, it appears I may be on the floor when the Who roll into town! ^_____^

My friend got 2 floor tickets from an auction for a charity, and his mom said that if it was okay with me and my parents, I could give her my ticket, and take her place on the floor.

:D:D:D

Oh my.

You guys [I][B]must[/B][/I] download the Amsterdam 1969-09-29 show. It's the first ever live perfomance of Tommy. Not bad quality either.

where?

here, you n00b :p
