Vic didn't consider it was a original idea (S.K. is already pretty derivative :wink: ) -- more interesting as an exercise to see what names would pop into mind. obviously too many, esp if I keep going on jazz and blues.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-who-and-half-time/paged/3/#post-347741 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-who-and-half-time/paged/3/#post-347739 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:26:52 +0000
About the Who: I was delighted to see Roger & Pete alive & onstage. That was the big issue. Live vs. prerecorded? The band has played to prerecorded backup tracks since before Keith died. I was watching Pete's hands closely -- not during the windmills, which are pure theater, but during his little breaks between vocal phrases, & I saw no reason to assume those were prerecorded. If they were going to prerecord anything, they should have prerecorded Roger's vocals. He sounded pretty bad in places.

Operatic sopranos routinely sing ingenue rolls into their 60s. Blues/jazz /classical cats keep playing right up to the edge of the grave. If Pete & Roger want to push on, more power to them.]]> Opinions and Polls Crow https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-who-and-half-time/paged/3/#post-347739 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-who-and-half-time/paged/3/#post-347737 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:03:37 +0000

The songs are good enough, but the show itself lacked the energy and sheer joy of last year's Springsteen show.

And the stage show itself struck me as ludicrously self-serving. "The Who" constantly dancing around the light show -- as if no one knew who the band could be? And if that's the case why have them play at all? Then we get the graphic of the classic windmill stance, my only thought was "Gee, a little more self-referencing please, I'm not sure I get it."

I found it to be mediocre at best.

However, I really didn't expect more than mediocre so I can't say I'm disappointed.
Almost exactly my thoughts, though I admit I did have high hopes before the show.

I hear that next year they're going to do a Yardbirds reunion. Page, Clapton and Beck will dance around Keith Relf's coffin. Which will be mic'd, of course.
