i was very impressed with pino palodino's bass playing. entwisle's shoes are tough to fill in, but i believe pino did a good job, especially because he didnt try to play exactly like entwisle played.

I would say the same thing about Zak. He's a very good drummer that doesn't get much recognition because everyone immediately draws their attention to Pete and Roger (rightfully so, but still). Very talented rhythm section still with the Who though.

I found that Zak kept everything solid but not flashy or lead-like, like Keith's. Is this because he doesn't want to copy Moon?

I would say there might be some of that involved, also there's the other aspect of him not wanting to steal the spotlight from Pete and Roger. I just think it's an awkward spot to fill in for a dead amazing member of a rock powerhouse like the Who. Both Zak and Pino deliver without trying to overdo it, which is great.

And judging from what I've heard from Zak, he may not be all over the kit all the time like Moon, but he does have some tasteful fills and clearly some ability.

Yeah, he definetly has the ability, and showed it. It just seem a little bit....whats the word...subdued? But yes. It's probably because what you said.

Also there was a track on Wire and Glass where Simon plays Mandolin. Anyone know the name of it?

Zak reminds me more of Keith Moon than he does of his father. He's not an animal like Moon, but he is much more upfront than his father ever was.

Yeah because Ringo was a joke...

*waits for Seafroggys to come defend his boyfriend*

****ing assholes...

Haha pwnt.

Edit: Damn Seafroggys do you have a radar or something that lets you know when Ringo is being attacked?

Haha that only took 1 minute.

kekekeke just got back! Really good show. The set list (as best I can remember it) was:

I Can't Explain
Anyway Anyhow Anywhere
Black Widows Eyes
Who Are You
Behind Blue Eyes
Sound Round
Pick Up The Peace
Unholy Trinity
Endless Wire
We Got A Hit
Dream Come True
Mirror Door
Relay
Baba O'Riley

ah **** i can't remember right now... really good show though. The sound from where I was sitting (right by the sound mixers hehehe) was pretty decent, but the bass guitar could have been a little louder. I nearly creamed my pants when they came on for the encore, and did Pinball Wizard=>Amazing Journey=>Parts of Overtures=>Sparks etc. Then we got them to come back out after. :cool:

I think I saw Julianne (blue3) on my way back down the stairs after doing a pee pee =]

Where were you RNR?

Sorry, no pics. And maybe I will remember the setlist tomorrow. I'm in awe right now. :D

Hah, I totally saw you.. I think. I'm not really sure..

My friends took a ****load of pictures and I barely took any cause my camera phone sucks. One of them got a guitar pick and I didn't :(

They played The Seeker, Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me, Won't Get Fooled Again, Man In A Purple Dress, Tea and Theater as well. I can't really remember the rest.

edit - omfg I forgot My Generation and You Better You Bet. They had an awesome long setlist.

so what did you guys really think, though? i mean did they sound like The Who? did they meet your expectations? what do you think of rog and pete? how was pete's playing? roger sound good? how was the crowd, etc...

how is the new stuff live? how did it go over? details, please...

They definetly sounded like The Who. They are the only ones in the world that can :p

Pete's playing was great, and Rogers voice was in really good shape. They looked like they were having a hell of a time too, in typical Who fashion. :cool:

I'll write some more later. Last night I wanted to go to sleep, and as I write this, I just got up (late too >_>)

Man they were ****in amazing here in Winnipeg.

Definetly kicks Audioslave down a spot as my second favorite concert I've ever been too.

could anyone tell me the song by the who, which is the tribute to elvis, where the chours is

"He was a beautiful boy"

or something to that effect.

real good looking boy. its on the "Then And Now" compilation...

My favorite member of the Whos is Tommy.

oic..

My favorite member is Roger! I could make man love with him all night!

Somewhere after that there were some more killer tunes and then a few songs off of Tommy :). I can't really remember either.

No Love Reign O'er Me :(. Probably because they didn't think that Rodger could do it anymore. I wouldn't have cared.

My seats were near the back of the left side on the 2nd balcony. I could see sort of well...

edit: and yes, they were superb. It was everything that you would expect The Who at any age to be.

In the A&E section of my Newspaper today, they had a huge 3-4 page thing on the Who. The concert, the new CD review, local musician's opinion on the whole thing. It was really cool.

They were the cover story as well.

On the second page of the article there was a picture captioned 'The Glory Days' which has an awesome stage shot of them circa Who's Next (judging by the facial hair and Keith's set).

They played it where I was+Drowned+Mike Post Theme+My Generation+TheKids Are alright(I think) - The Relay - All other wire and glass stuff :p


And I'm glad you all had a great time :)

Sounds awesome guys.

[QUOTE=JXD;13394666]real good looking boy. its on the "Then And Now" compilation...[/QUOTE]

thank you, such a nice diddy.

alright. here is a fan review of the Edmonton show that someone posted at the band site. the reason i'm posting it is because pete has been having rig problems the entire tour despite using one of the top guitar techs in the business. and apparently last night it almost did him in :eek:

[b]This was a mind blowing concert, and almost literally for Pete Townshend who may have been nearly zapped to oblivion.

Townshend was having problems with his equipment all night. He was constantly harrasing the tech crew about this and that. And then during Won't Get Fooled Again he was adjusting something on one of his amps - and ZAP! Townshend at first looked at his hand and then staggered to the back of the stage. Once there he appeared to be collapsing, but managed to stay upright with the help of the crew. Meanwhile, the rest of the band looked on in horror. It was obvious they were considering stopping the show. However, within a minute Townshend stumbled back and finished the song. The incident, perhaps oddly seemed to re-energize him as he played the rest of the song like a wild demon.

Despite Townshend's equipment problems the Edmonton concert - close to a sell out - was fantastic, mainly because Townshend was on fire all night, perhaps not happy with his so-so performance the night before.

The band opened with I Can't Explain, The Seeker and AAA. And then it was Fragments - the one song on the new CD I am still struggling with. The rest of the set list was pretty much the same as Calgary's except Unholy Trinity was dropped. The band opted to play a gorgeous version of Really Good Looking Boy in Edmonton.

One of the advantages for the band in Edmonton was the crowd. Unlike Calgary, they were pretty much into the show right from the start. But like Calgary the crowd began to explode at the start of Baba O'Reilly, became unglued during another great rendition of My Generation and possitively out of their minds during Won't Get Fooled Again - even during Townshend's trials with his equipment.

Daltrey had some problems tonight. He had trouble handling the higher registers of Who Are You, and I think he was very much aware of Townshend's equipment problems.

Pino was again great. I took special notice of his beautiful fret work during the six-song set of Wire & Glass.

The crowd was appreciative of the new material, especially once again for Man in a Purple Dress. All and all, a great show.[/b]

I saw, the WHo live in toronto in the store today, but I didn't bought it, I bought so much other stuff :)

he better not have amp problems by the time he gets to Portland!

Pfft. Looks like you got the better show.

Yeah, I was kind of pissed that they didn't do anything off Quadrophenia, but their Tommy set made up for it.

He didn't have any amp problems here, but Roger complained about the pot saying that he'd love to join them in a toot, but he's now allergic to it and it was affecting his performance. Pete then shouted some anti-drug slogan and I lol'd.

Pete was making cracks all night, my favorite one being "The last time we played here was 1967 and 1968. It was at the corral, in a big pile of cow ****."

pete is a pisser. funny guy. the Quad stuff has been lost to the new stuff. which is fine with me. fact of the matter is in recent years they have played for the most part Drowned, 5:15, and Love Reign O'er Me. in that order at the same place in the set. pretty predictible. sometimes they would replace Drowned with The Punk And The Godfather (that would be awesome even on its own) or Sea And Sand. and The Real Me hasn't been performed since john died. i would like to hear different songs from Quad. not likely...

I finally decided to upload some pictures. It turned out decent. Kind of.
