Gehe, so reallyPete Townshend? Tell me what did Roger got thrown at his body and where @ hyde park calling? And how did the press liked that show?

good job with your mix of 1st and 3rd person perspective

Quadrophenia needed this, IMO. it really brought the album to life. The Who did this because they could not do it in the '70's, and full performances of Quad were soon scrapped because the backing tapes needed and musical granduer necessary simply made it impossible for The Who to do. These performances fixed all that, IMO. And Quad got the treatment it has long deserved. Its really exciting for me to watch. And the DVD looks and sounds great.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that's what The Who will say, and that's what Who history says, but have you actually heard Quadrophenia from that time period? With Daltrey in top form, Moon singing Bell Boy like a champ, and Townshend being more prominent, the performance just blows away the 96 show. Regardless of what the general attitude is to the early Quadrophenia shows, they DID have some good ones.

So you're trying to say that the Tommy DVD is better because the older Quadrophenia performances were better than the performance on the Quad DVD? You mentioned yourself that the Tommy tours from 1969-1970 blew away their other years, so I don't see the point you're making.

wow, a Who thread. They're my favorite band of all time.

No, I was responding to his point that the Quadrophenia shows in 96 were somehow superior to what Quadrophenia live in the 70s was, which I disagree with. I don't think they needed the extra band and the backup singers to pull it off.

I think that the earlier performances of both of these rock operas were better, but that's given, and I already explained why I thought Tommy was better on the DVD.

Fair enough. I like Tommy much more than Quadrophenia, but still I just don't buy into the performance on the DVD. The Quad performance was just much more effective, to me.

Fair enough, for the record, Pete's performance of Drowned on that DVD is way cool.

Ooops


But it wouldbe cool if it really was Townshend

cool! They're my second favorite!

Second isn't high enough for you to post in here, sorry. I'm sure you can dig up the Beatles thread.

I've heard Drowned, Bell Boy, Sea And Sand, The Punk And The Godfather from '74. They are good. But The Who only performed Quadrohenia on one tour, dropping five songs after the very first gig. And from all reports Roger ruined the segment from insisting on explaining each song and the band didn't play well to the backing tracks. By the time they got 'round to what I've heard I'm sure they had things worked out.

I'm not saying they were bad. The Who were never bad. But I'm not such a purist that I don't think loud horns, percussion, and back-up singers didn't do this album some justice. You could tell The Who were playing to tapes back then. Bell Boy was embarrassing. They had to lip sync some of it. Good as it was, it wasn't all live. They had to play it by the numbers. I hear a really live and lively band on the DVD. I just think it sounds like Quad live should sound. Anyway, I'm reviewing it for sputnik, so I'll save whatever else I have to say for that.

Its wearing me down :(

:p

Moon and Enty are my favorite drummer and bassist, so there! I can post!

oh sure. over ringo and paul? tough choice...

and anyone who calls John "Enty" cannot post! :mad:

sorry :(

I feel so shamed now.

Though Paul was a damn good bass player, he did some cool **** from time to time. People underestimate him technically.

i like the beatles but coudn't tell you anything about them. i do know paul is a good musician, though. its obvious. and most likely even better then he commonly gets to show. i always saw him as the most musical beatle with his arrangements and ability to not just play any instrument (within reason) but also play it well. john is still my favorite beatle, though. his songs just have more impact overall, IMO. and i truly believe him to me the better songwriter.
