BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I can't wait for the return of smart, ballsy, songwriting. The people living through the Dark Ages didn't realize they were living through the Dark Ages at the time, either: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 This era of widely spread "new information" gave us access to Who demos with Pete singing all the songs and we can open up the discussion over Daltrey's honest abilities to interpret what was on Mr. Townshend's mind. -------------------------------------------------- For the 1,000th time, that's what "that song is called" by Wire...

SinceThe70s Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Maybe I missed it, but are we really 12 pages in with no Hendrix? This one is NSFW due to mammalian protruberances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Love XTC, sucks that Andy Partridge has/had such a bad case of stagefright, they are probably a bucket list band for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Someone did this Grateful Dead/Soul Train mashup and it's quite entertaining, that segment of Soul Train was always one of my favorite things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete wanted the other members of the band to interpret the songs however they wanted. On the demos, he'd play all the instruments (and vocals) pretty blandly, so the guys would have just the basic framework on which to build. Pete's lyrics resonated with me when I was a teenager, and now, in my mid-50s, they're just as relevant to me as ever. He perfectly captured the joy/anger/love/disillusionment/hope/fear of life. Quadrophenia is nothing short of brilliant; a complete masterpiece of lyrics, music, and performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I opted out the live version for one with Strummer's excellent lyrics. He takes on phonies, hipsters, sell outs, record companies, conservatives, racists, capitalism, junkies.......not bad for four minutes of music.

The Poojer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Went to the Who show at Rich Stadium in '82 for the sole reason of seeing the Clash. Really didn't care about the Who at the time, i was focused on the Clash. Turned out to be an all around great show, but seeing the Clash live was really something special 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the Who's first ever farewell tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Back in the day when we bought CDs, Naxos hit the classical market with excellent performances dirt cheap. at the purchase counter for the 2CD package of Mahler’s 2nd symphony, The Resurrection, and a song cycle, the vendor told me that even if it totally sucked that it was a lot of music for that price. i smiled thinly.

The absence of Mr. Moon was made a million times worse with Kenny Jones (??), The Who live with the originals was a very worthy admission fee.
