Saw The Who yesterday and it was great! More to follow. Pino played all the melodic parts of Quadrophenia nicely on a Jag Bass and his CS P with T-bird pickups through some Super Bassmans.
They inserted the 5:15 solo of Entwistle from '00 into the song, with drummer Scott Devours (best drummer since Keith) jamming along. Nice. Almost emotional when JAE put off his bass at the end of the section. Because he was on the screens, like the rest of the band, you almost expected him on stage.
-
BTW: it was done very good and a good tribute to The Ox. They did the same with Moon on Bell Boy with '74 Charlton footage.
-
Nice to see the touch of remembering them...
I wished I'd seen the '74 Charlton show (there in '76) as they had Montrose and iirc Lou Reed...? '76 support was SAHB and Little Feet
-
I was born in '76 so unfortunately unable to see the real Who. Didn't saw them with JAE in 1997 either, unfortunately. I was 21 then, but hardly familiar with the band.
-
I saw them last year for the first time (Zak Starkey on drums & Simon Townshend on guitars) - I had a great time and I enjoyed the nostalgia/tribute aspect of the show. It was amusing to watch Pino watch JAE on the big screen during 5:15.
It is what it is - JAE and Moonie are gone and this was the lineup they brought - some folks need to get over the fact they some of these bands from our youth have been impacted, but they continue to play their music for us.

Right. Can't bring back the two deceased members, enjoy it for what it is or let it go.
-
Amen.

Well said. Most bands change members as time goes by, and it's not necessarily a reason to avoid them.

True up to a point ;)
But I sure ended up disiking the Doobie Bros. with Michael McDonald!
-
Agreed about Michael McDonald...absolutely killed the Doobies for me.

Up to Stampede were some stellar recordings, but...
-
they stopped being the doobies. more of Mike MCd solo album with the doobies just being in the studio on some of the tunes... total change
-
i was never a big db fan but would always listen when they popped up on the car radio. when mmc came along i thought this must be really embarrasing for the test of the band. and that was that...
oh yeah, i saw the who in 1973. opening band was lynyrd skynyrd. ;)

Well, since you mentioned The Who. Here is an early video I just became aware of. The Who (then still called The High Numbers) live in 1964 at the Railway Hotel. Entwistle is playing his Ric.

There's a Who tribute band opening for my band this Friday. Should be fun! I'm going to try to shoehorn my monster rig into the SUV. 8)

Interestingly, the clapboard(or whatever they're called) held by Kit Lambert says The Who.

Holy cow that was amazing! Please note dear sound man (not that they had one) where the bass is in the mix!
