Another "The Official The Who" Thread
Comments

The Kids Are Alright documentary/cd has in my opinion the best version of Baba O'Riley that I've ever heard. Keith Moon is bashing on a Gong for part of it, and John Entwistle's bass is just sooo stellar. And Pete's windmill is in full swing. Rogers is swinging the mic like nobody else can.
Another great topic Brian, thanks for starting another great topic.
Here's that's great to version of Bubbahttps://youtu.be/_iYqXvht3uQ

I will never get into The Who.
Who's Next is a nice album though."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

Last night, I finished Pete's autobiography, Who I Am. I was hugely sad to have that book end and even this morning feel at bit out to sea. It's one of those books I almost wish went on forever. I've read many, many music biographies and have enjoyed so many of them but this one I have to think is the best of them all. Townshend spend years writing that book- it's anything but dashed off. The writing is excellent and the book is full of energy and compassion. It's honest, engaging, and full of heart. I love this book. I love Pete Townshend.

*But now you have gotten me into a Who mood this week. Although I do not have the new and improved version of The Kids Are Alright yet, I think I'll pop the one I have in tonight.

Here's my favorite photo from the 1968 San Jose Civic Auditorium show some friends and I went to. My friend Paul took this great shot, along with a few others."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I'm enveous of all of you who have gotten to see The Who.
I saw Rodger Daltrey and Eric Clapton double headliner show 'bout 10 years ago.
It was neat to see those two guys just because. Rodger went first.
It was ok, but I can't say that it was any kind of a great show.
They didn't collaborate at all. ok fine. But for some reason neither one of them had any energy to speak of at all. Daltrey sang a few of his greatest hits for about 1 hour,,,,,that was it for him. The crowd was lame not really into it. The crowd all sat on the're cans the whole show even during Roger's grand finale closer Bubba. It was like pulling teeth to get people goin' ( my buddy & I were rockin, but not too many)
Clapton played for 1 hour & mabey 15 minutes. Claptin kept looking at his watch between every song, never got up from his stool once I don't think. They both looked like they'd rather be playing checkers.
Oh well0 -

Oh wellCool that you got to see Daltry and Clapton! Too bad it wasn't a great show. I think that was probably around the time Roger was having some serious health issues including pollips on his throat. He had them taken care of and seems to be doing pretty well lately having put out a record earlier this year and doing some touring.

So glad this thread was made.
The Who's role in my life is that band that you don't necessarily forget about, but don't listen to for a period of time, and then gloriously almost rediscover periodically.
This thread helped me do that again. What a band!!"Red Rover, Red Rover, Mike McCready – Take Over!!" - E.V.

(Sorry the curser got stuck in your comment I hate it when that happens) Rodger Daltrey is fantastic and just a great human being. Thanks for posting that article. 74 years old same age as my dad lol.0 -

You got me goin now Brian, So I was listening to The Who Hits 50 cds today while I was driving around doing errands.
This is a tune that somehow exits my mind completely, I forget that it exists until I hear it again. Its a just weird catchy indescribable song. And I'm instantly intrigued by it again.
My dog even likes it....https://youtu.be/qkEpopoiqtw
