I went to see The Who last night.

Danny Himself · 07.07.2006, 11:10 AM

Man, it was great. They played like half of Tommy as an encore.

My Generation, too. They closed with Substitute. You didn't even notice the absence of two members with Zack Starkey on drums (Ringo Starr's son). Maaaan.

So discuss the Who, I guess.

porkmarras · 07.07.2006, 11:41 AM

Did they manage to explode mid-gig?

Danny Himself · 07.07.2006, 11:43 AM

Nah. The crowd did though- I was standing next to an old guy and he just started screaming and doing air guitar. Must've got to him.

krastian · 07.07.2006, 04:30 PM

Cool man.....tix pretty expensive? I wouldn't mind going if someone paid for me.....ha ha.

nomadicfollower · 07.07.2006, 04:43 PM

Hah, Pinball Wizard used to be my favorite song. I haven't heard it in some time.
I wouldn't mind seeing The Who if tickets weren't too expensive.

Toilet & Bowels · 07.07.2006, 04:54 PM

how come that book pete townsend was writing hasn't come out yet?

Savage Clone · 07.07.2006, 04:58 PM

I'll go see The Who when they invent time machines.

krastian · 07.07.2006, 06:09 PM

It's a stretch without John too....again I'd go if "some dude" paid.

jon boy · 07.07.2006, 06:14 PM

pete townsend managed to shrug of that peadophile thing well didnt he?

krastian · 07.07.2006, 06:37 PM

Ha ha....yeah good point. You had to know SOMETHING was up with all his "booty shakes" and all.

Savage Clone · 07.07.2006, 07:08 PM

He didn't shrug it off as easily as Billy Preston.

CHOUT · 07.07.2006, 07:51 PM

'Who' played bass? To replace both Keith Moon and John Entwistle is inexcusable. That was a rhythm section.

They'd probably be one of my favorite bands if their stuff was more raw like Live At Leeds.

I'd say The Who Sell Out would be their only studio album I enjoy all the way through.

h8kurdt · 07.08.2006, 06:25 AM

It's not the who anymore. Just like Queen aren;t queen anymore but yet thay still parade around saying they are.

About £20 a ticket I think. They were going for £50 each from sellers outside the venue on the night.

The only who songs I like are My Generation, Magic Bus, Pinball Wizard, and Substitute. Did they play Magic Bus?

No, they didn't, sadly. They played all the other ones you said though.

Some spanish guy, though I forget his name. He was pretty good.

i always though that was fair dodgy... i was.......researching

i never really like The Who, but i'm glad you had a good time at the gig.

porkmarras · 07.08.2006, 12:05 PM

Did they sell nappies on the t-shirt stalls?

porkmarras · 07.08.2006, 01:06 PM

Good for them.............and their current fans i assume.

Toilet & Bowels · 07.08.2006, 01:09 PM

gary glitter is gutted that he didn't think of them first.

CHOUT · 07.08.2006, 07:39 PM

Did they change the lyrics to My Generation to 'I hope I get old before I die'?

I've always wondered that.
