They should have taken Chris Squire who could have also helped in the backing voc department. He has time on his hands too as he is currently touring with a Yes tribute band I believe.

My take on the performance was why didn't they have some backing vocalists off to the side to help out. For the TV audience, I think that would have helped a lot.

I think it wasn't that the performance was that bad but whoever mixed it for TV screwed the pooch. Almost as bad as the old Monterey Pop clips before they cleaned up and remixed the sound for the recent re-release.

Apparently Daltrey and Townshend were not thrilled with the whole thing either. Daltrey complained about the lights, cameras and lack of crowd interaction - while Townshend bemoaned the lack of cheerleaders. Both felt the set was too short. Like Townshend's shirt.

Possibly the best one-liner on this forum in the last 90 days!

Why not throw McCartney and Starr into the Who! A complete rhythmsection, and a complete frontsection.

The "Beat-Who'lls"...!

I'm gonna guess the second guitarist (the guy who looked like The Edge meets Joe Satriani) was Pete's son?

Dave W · February 23, 2010, 03:47:29 PM

Simon Townshend, Pete's younger brother.

Simon's quite a good player!

Unlike his dad when it comes to playing lead!

And now, unfortunately, The Who's four string lead guitarist is no longer with us.

Older brother, not dad.

I mailed a contact at Fender's about Pino's bass. My contact mailed an important Custom Shop person and he said, roughly, the following:

'Pino lets the Custom Shop make basses for him personally with different (*) pick ups. These basses are for him only and we don't replicate them for others.'

(*) Nothing about the whereabouts of the pick ups.

This bass seems to be the first real official Fenderbird:)
