Special Order | | | Risky if you arent a true fan. | I first viewed this very performance of the who on video and found that I really liked the sound quality. Keith Moon, as you know, is long gone by here, the drummer playing with the band here is Simon Philips, who is much better than Kenney Jones but still doesnt come close to Keith however, he delivers a superb performance. Roger Daltrey`s voice sounds quite good here for his age :)
Pete`s hand is alledgedly broken here so he doesnt windmill or anything but a back up guitarist does a good job doing the lead. John entwistle has never sounded better, he plays the rarely heard, trick of the light with flawless flair. This is convenient because so many songs are played. The tommy portion is extremely fun but muddled horribly by corny brass instruments, horns and trombones, it`s usesless to the who, anyway, that`s the only complaint. The rest of the songs are classics like wont get fooled again, etc. which sound very good and exstensive. | | | | Fantastic | | Why is this such an un-mentioned recording? It the the best recording of Tommy I have ever heard; forget the rubbish about it `not being the real Who etc.`, the music is bigger than that. Four musicians where never enough to do it justice live ... | | | | The Who as a Vegas Act | | Pete Townshend playing acoustic guitar on the wrong side of the stage, some imitator playing lead, and all backed with a brass section? Not a lot more needs be said to convince a *live* Who fanatic that this is *not* what you`re looking for. Buy "Live at:" Leeds, Isle of Wight, Royal Albert Hall, the 2002 Encore Series, or even the `82 `Rocks America`, but forget about this one as an example of The Who live. I`m young enough to have seen this tour (after having seen the `last` US show in `82, Cleveland a week after the Cincinnati debacle in `79, and an *unforgettable* `71 show) and it`s why I skipped all the later ones. In relative terms, it was awful. That said, this is *still* The Who and they were still better than almost any other band on the planet, even on a bad day. The `Tommy` disk is quite good as a slightly rougher (and unfortunately, shorter) version than the original album while the second disk is a collection of stuff you`ve rarely heard live in any other releases. Another reviewer mentioned it as a solo Townshend show with Daltrey and Entwistle along, and that`s not far off. This ensemble would have been better as a lounge act than trying to fill stadiums with this pale, bloated edition of The `Oo that I loved. If you`ve got everything else by The Who, you need this, too. If you`ve got nothing else by The Who, there are better places to start. | | |
