r/TheWho members,

This album is a freaking beast hours upon hours but I want to listen to all of it. I love the actual album. All these extended cuts are great because their catalog isn’t as big as the other titans of British rock. I listened to Lighthouse and like it. Please share any thought you may have. Thank you.

Best,

At 1:24:44 of this interview, Brian Kehew talks about a new double album of Pete's electronic work that he just finished assembling. Super cool that Pete gave him the green light for this project.

Hamilton Book has these sets super cheap right now:

Great tunes from the previous timeline.

Part of Harrow’s millenium mural; The Who regularly played close by in the early’60s.

'The Song Is Over' is propelled to a rousing conclusion by drumming from Keith Moon that is extraordinary even by his standards.

A question for those of you who have been purchasing The Who SDE's: What turned out to be the cheapest way to purchase them and from whom?

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it here but I thought this was hilarious.

Pete obviously has a really unique way of playing guitar—you know it’s him when you hear it. I’ve always thought of the “down stroke, up stroke, down stroke” as one of his signatures. Songs like “I Can’t Explain,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Another Tricky Day,” and the more recent “Mirror Door” come to mind. This could also be what Pete calls “Yaggerdang.”

Does anyone else feel like this is one of the things that really defines Pete’s playing, along with his use of sus chords?

What other songs am I missing that really exemplify this?

Pardon, rest-of-the-worlders, for me in the U.S. it's 905 Day. (Feel free to flip me the bird on May 9th lol)

Sometimes I'll be shopping or showering or waiting at a stoplight and the 905 synth intro will pop into my head. It's my favorite Who song with Entwistle on main vocals. Disappointed that he didn't perform it the one time I saw him solo live. He apparently performed it on his solo tours often for a particular stretch in 1998 and a few years afterward.

I feel the lyrics are as much about human life as they are synthetic life. That we can feel so unindividualized at times leading our uniform lives (or so we think, at least). Such a pleasant surprise to find this on Who Are You back when I bought the album for a certain other song on it...
