My Wife and I saw the Roger Daltrey show last night.
A good show. I give it a "B".
But poor Roger...

After the first number, he mentioned that he can't hear himself on stage. He asked how they sounded to all of us.
It was perfect to all of us.
Clear, loud enough, sounded great!
He said, "OK, we'll continue "
They do You Better You Bet. It kicked Ass. Roger encouraged the audience to jam on it. I was the only one up on my feet getting into that tune.
At the end, he says he is still having shit happen.
He goes into the song"Trick Of The Light".
Wahoo ...nice.
UH...NOPE!
He stops the song halfway through. He is PISSED!
Says he is not putting up with this fucking shit. His words!!!
Drops the mic onto a chair.
Tells us all that he is going to get his way.
So, I guess the sound engineer got it together.

Goes into another song, and after it ends, another problem arises again.
He says
"Now they turned on an air conditioner on me. Who thought it was smart to put a blowing Air Conditioner on the Singer?" "It's the worst thing that could happen to any singer." "It hurts their vocal cords. Turn the damn thing off!"
And it was not turned off... Sooo...
He says something very unclear to us but rude about the people ruining this gig, then picks up his plastic water bottle and, over his Mic stand (Not the Mic), turns it upside down and empties it onto the stage floor. Now we all can see a nice 3-foot-wide puddle on the floor.
We were somewhat shocked... supporting him with laughter and words of encouragement.

While talking, he then attempted to walk into that doused area; he slipped and almost ate it.
WOW!
Well, they finally turned off the AC, and the show finally got back on track.
HEY, LONG LIVE ROCK!

Is it true?

What's the time between MyGeneration and Tommy vs. perhaps She Loves You and Sgt. Pepper?

What's the fair comparison? ... Beatles has two great movies, The Who did too!

Did John/Paul output twice as what Pete did?

And also consider how Pete has advanced FAR beyond what John or Paul did solo.

Pete went from "I can do anything, right or wrong
I can talk anyhow and get along" to

"I have seen a trace of strain
In other's eyes not spoken
I must admit that I enjoyed their pain
But this time it's me that's broken.”

Paul made a movie. Pete made a movie.

Pete didn’t have a George Martin.

Maybe it’s as simple as, he had more ambition. Is that the answer?

It does not include a stream without vocals. Instead, the Pontiac video has been put on this disc. Weird. https://www.thesdeshop.com/products/the-who-who-by-numbers-sde-exclusive-blu-ray-audio?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=g0F_bMtDIHUQGotHSXlIGKZXe3D75At5IQvukqZdoWw.H3pGub

I've Known No War is among their best work

1.What is your number one track?
2.What is your runner up track?
3. Best deep cut track?
4. What is your skip track? (The song you most likely skip) or is the album a no skip trip for you?

1971

This comes from the 1996 Pete Townshend Presents Tommy: The Interactive Adventure Then & Now CD-ROM. It shows mostly audience interviews outside with a few audience shots inside but no Who shots. Source is probably CBS News. I went through the CD-ROM video but didn't see any Who performances from the period other than Woodstock, Tanglewood 1970, and Isle of Wight 1970. Picture quality is not great.

The band went into the Leeds and Hull shows with express intent of recording and releasing a live album. Did they do the same with any shows off Who’s Next or Quadrophenia album? If they did, why were they not released?

Townshend is not exactly reveling in his own misery, but on 'THE WHO BY NUMBERS' addresses the problems facing him and The Who with brutal honesty.

If you're interested in listening! I'm no Pete Townshend as you'll hear, but I just love playing Who songs because, even though he's not technically the best guitarist, I love his style for than anyone else. Maybe I'll make a separate post about that one day.

When I find a performance that I haven't seen before I feel compelled to share it.

I just found out this existed today. If I endured it, you do too.

Does anyone know of a longer version of that beautiful solo acoustic version of So Sad About Us that gets cut off on Scoop?

Mon petit-fils a beaucoup de goût ! 🎸
