I saw them in the 70's, and I've seen them on their last two tours. They've never let me down.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Quadrophenia in it's entirety.
No filler there!!!
It's all good in my opinion....
Yep, totally agree its a near perfect record. I'm going too next week, can't wait, although I wait to see of the drummer pulls things off - still Zack Starkey, does anyone know? - with baited breath.
Me too, I can't wait!!
I though Zak had an injury and couldn't drum for them and they had to get another drummer in?
Yes, thats correct. Scott Devours is the stand-in, excellent too.
I think you've totally missed the point of Keith Moon... or perhaps I have. To me he was an entertainer, often the role of a drummer is deemed to be boring to many. Keith took advantage of that notion and put it to bed by even just sticking gun powder in his drum kit. As for drumming itself, he's certainly not Bonham level, but who is?
As I said, I never saw Keith Moon as a drummer there for technically gifted reasons, same with the other Who members. Though Entwistle was practically a god on bass.
Daltrey - Great frontman, powerful vocal and swinging Mic;)
Townshend - Created some ridiculously good riffs and full of energy on guitar with the hilarious windmills.
Entwistle - Arguably the greatest bass player of all time (in the mainstream world)
Moon - Drummer, though unique as an entertainer... didn't get the tag Keith the 'loon' for nothing.
And it all clicked beautifully. One of my favourite bands for the sole reason that there was no passengers. Everyone brought something to the band. And widely regarded as the greatest live act of all time.
Each to their own though.
there was only 1 keith moon... he might not have been technically the best, but so what? the mischeif and energy he brought to the band was irreplaceable.
Oh dear, of dear.
Moon was the perfect drummer for The Who, and that is why he was so good. He wouldn't have been so good in The Beatles or Stones, but for The Who, perfection.
He did what they wanted, and when all four band members were on form, no one could touch them.
Both Roger and John had connections to my local area. A few years ago I was loading some rubbish into a lorry to go to the tip and the driver sprinted off because he'd spotted Roger Daltrey up the road and knew him well enough to go and have a chat!
But all they would do is copy Keith Moon's parts....case closed
Knock it off Paulie
great analogy
How many have you listened to?
so, because you dont like them, they are very overrated?...
do you realise how that actually looks?
Compared to who?
