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!

:lol:

[QUOTE=fwqhgads;13390957]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[/QUOTE]

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.

HOLY CRAP, Blue! Great pics. If I had personal pics of The Who like that I would shi.t myself. I mean I have some you took now, but to be there and take those myself? That would be the way to go. You had great seats! Must of sounded terriffic.

Dragon Prince I like Bowie, Mac, Gabrriel, and Oasis from your list. BOC, Genesis, and Floyd I can live without. Hacket and Ros I have not heard....

Great pics, Julianne.

Makes me jealous that you were so close to Townshend*.

Also, I am so ordering this:

EDIT: *God

^ Damn that is SWEET! You know i'm getting myself one. I might get an Irvine Meadows DVD, too. The show i went to in 2002. It was only the second one with Pino. Good gig. Probably just get the DVD. And that's a great deal.

So Jeff, a little more about the gig, perhaps? Were you completely satisfied? I read Pete was again having big problems with his rig and it affected his playing sometimes. Did you notice? How was Zak, etc....

k

He didn't have any problems with his rig that I know of when they played here, although I know that he had major problems in Edmonton, and also almost collapsed.

I had seen Pelican just the night before, and maybe it isn't really fair to draw a comparison between the two, but that's what I did. When put next to the act that I had seen the previous night, The Who did come up a little short, but not by much. The new group is still really strong, and tight as a musical unit, and each musician was really playing hard.

The thing that bothered me about the show is that most of the time the stuff playing up on the screens really stole the show away from the actuall performers. I think alot of people felt that.

Still an explosive live act, they didn't dissapoint me at all. For their age they really did put on an excellent show. Roger's voice obviously isn't as good as it used to be though, and it showed.

Maybe I'm just a little sad that they didn't play anything off Quadrophenia, but meh.

Their new stuff really was the best part of the show for me. I've listened to the Wire and Glass EP for hours, and it sounded great live.

I don't think he had huge rig problems, cause I didn't notice. And he almost collapsed in Edmonton? WTF? I didn't know Roger was allergic to pot, but everyone was still smoking it anyway. Some guy beside me actually left for awhile to smoke outside and came back.

EDIT: *God[/QUOTE]Well, maybe if you said hi, I would've stole my friends ticket and gave it to you! ..or not. But it's really easy to get up front for any concert. I'm definitely buying that cd/dvd.

I was really quite pleased where I was, because the sound mixer mixes for himself you know, and that's really where I was sitting.

That's where I was for Tool. I had to stand on my seat to be able to see the entire stage though. I found this - [url]http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/entertainment/blog.html[/url]

i've seen that. that review is a piece of shi.t. and the reviewer should be embarrassed. the entire paper should. very unprofessional. he doesn't even know Eminence Front isn't a new song. he and his crap review should be shot...

that guy's an idiot.

People go watch older bands because they want to hear the hits. From a musician's standpoint, playing the same old **** sucks. New material is where its at.
