I think that we will go with Springfield and see how it fits/sounds with the rest of the material. The '98 version would have been perfect if it wasn't just an intro. PJ just wasted an entire "Generation" in '98.

Shame !

I bet you can't

To be honest with you, I set the track list in order of how The Who recorded the songs.

oh, so it's 'coherent' already ? :(

Gave the 'original live' a listen : it's really good !! Might become an Ipod regular... That is, unless I keep going back to Riot Act endlessly :roll:

Did I just see an eye roll smiley?

Good news is that I was able to complete the artwork while I was at work today.
Bad news is that I wasn't happy with it until after 15 covers.

Yeah, I'm 'eye-rolling' myself !
That's good news for the artwork ( if you're self-employed

), so we'll get it with the rough draft then ?

Yeah, I may send 4 or 5 of them and have you guys choose. The problem is that I had this idea in my head for a cover, but every time I would try to create it, the picture just didn't come out the way I had planned it. All 15 or 16 look pretty much the same.

Since we are all talking about The Who and their music, I thought that I would share something with everybody that I posted on my other blog.

The Who - Live: Philadelphia Spectrum (December 4, 1973)
http://rearviewmirrorbootlegs.blogspot. ... ber-4.html

Great show-- i used to have it on vinyl (Tales from The Who). I havent heard it in years.
Saw the Who a bunch of times -- from '79 to 2002. Always great in concert. And, of course, PJ does the best covers of Who songs! I had forgotten PJ had covered A quick one.

TheRealDanPatch · December 2010

Hey Tremors and Myra, The Rough Draft has been finished and a link has been PM'd to you. I am listening to it now, sounds real good.

Kahlua N Creame · December 2010

i adore love, reign o'er me. and even though it's not a PJ original i ALWAYS enjoy/can't wait to hear them perform it.

my absolute favorite cover of love, reign comes from the VH1 rock honors the who. there are a ton of clips on youtube if you haven't seen/heard it. search- VH1 rock honors the who.

my own personal opinion, while the mansfield preformance is great, i think the rock honors trumps. just listen to eddie. also, the rock honors one is kinda unique in that they have an mini orchestra accompanying them. it makes it more powerful.

can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Sounds great to me Cameron4President! It's kind of easier since there aren't such an enormous amount of choices

Once you've weedled out the SQ issues etc.... and this sounds great already!

What would you think about sharing the Rough Draft with people here, to listen to at this stage? and take any further discussion from there. Gives us a reference point. And like I say it's sounding pretty damned sweet already

Man it's gotta be great working on a project where the worst song is still a thousand times more magical than millions of songs from other bands.

You are right about that.

If anybody is interested in a copy of the "Rough Draft", they are more than welcome to PM me and I will send them the same link I sent you and Myra, but I really don't like to share it because it is a rough draft and not the finished project. I do not put a lot of time into piecing together a rough draft. There are a lot of things that could change between now and when we finish this project.

That song is great, and one of my favorite covers too. You will definitely be pleased with the final outcome.

PureandEasy · December 2010

Man I wish PJ had covered Pure and Easy at some point.

The Who remain my favorite band ever.

Makes perfect sense!!

What stage are we at? I'm gonna listen to the Rough draft again right now. Are we seeking a stronger 'My Generation'?

Maybe a stronger "My Generation", the problem is the the volume mix is real low and amplifying the sound too much will distort it. We may have to think about another version. In the end though, I would rather have a low volume version of that song, than no version at all. In short, "My Generation" has to be on this compilation.

If you can tell me the shows it was played at, I can go try and hunt around. Or should I just look myself on the 'Music' tab here. What do you say boss?
