OT: the VH1 Rock Honors - The Who

[Monstro]

pretty much kicked a s s

[tkg2627]

Excellent show. The Foo Fighters are such a great band, Pearl Jam were incredible, not much of a fan of Incubus, but their version of "I Can See For Miles" was spot on.

[slackjawcomics]

It was a good show, it is hard to go wrong with such a great line up of bands.

[jools&jim]

Yeah, I'm not a huge Pearl Jam fan, but they simply CRUSHED it on the two Quadrophenia tunes...energetic, passionate, inspired, and clearly loud as mess! And Eddie Vedder proved again that he's got one of the greatest voices in Rock...when he's not using it to brood or preach, that is. Loved it!

 

The Who themselves, by contrast, seemed lethargic and bored. Perhaps the latest feud between Townshend and Daltrey had something to do with it...dunno. And Daltrey's voice is pretty much shot these days. Still, anytime you see stuff like that on mainstream music TV, it gives me hope that Real Rock and Roll ain't quite dead yet, and that lots of us out there (of all ages) still care...

You should hope you die before you get old.

Too late...

i saw them the last 4 times they came through but i think im passin on this tour, rogers voice has finally started to slip

[Ringfinger]

Rogers voice is bad, I will give you that. And this spat has me concerned. They have announced only a handful of dates. They have been so close since John died. I am concerned. This may be it for them.

 

Now, the rock honors, the Poo Biters were great as much as it pains me to say it. Eddie and the boys nailed it, they are the reason that there is hope in rock.

So true!!!

 

 

LONG LIVE ROCK!

 

[Ringfinger]

They along with Oasis and U2 are the biggest fans of their work.

...don't forget Paul Weller, Sting, and Rock critic Dave Marsh -- MAJOR Who fans all!!!

[Mephisto]

Was this a dating show?

I finally had a chance to watch this after recording it on Thursday night. What a great show. Pearl Jam's performance of Love Reign O'er Me was one of the greatest single live performances I have ever seen. I can't believe how Eddie Vedder can still wail at 43 years of age, after so many years of doing it. He is simply a rock god. The rest of the show was amazing as well. Loved it!

I didn't know they were in another spat. What is it this time?

[Ringfinger]

Setlist issues. They can't agree.

[Ringfinger]

Dave Marsh, great book on The Who I read years back. Paul Weller for sure. Sting as well. I was just taking a sampling.

[jools&jim]

Dave Marsh, great book on The Who I read years back.

 

(thumbs u Fantastic book...still the best one ever written about the band as far as I'm concerned...

 

[Ringfinger]

It has some great info. Read it in High School. That was where I got my 1st Who knowledge, long before the internet and such.

[rob_allan]

I absolutely loved this show. Talked to my mom on the phone and she did as well. We both agreed, as has been stated here, that Roger's voice was not not good. We also both agreed that Pearl Jam killed it (and she hates Pearl Jam.)

 

The Flaming Lips weren't horrible either, although I'm still not a huge fan of theirs. (I did like that one song years ago that got kinda big but the name eludes me.)

 

Hopefully rock will come back in a big way sometime.

 

I was REALLY hoping Noel would take the stage with them again. I saw a couple shows where he played with them and it was cool. Oasis and Noel as a solo artists have had a lot of influence on me over the years. Love them too.

[Underdog]

The program made me think of the Cincinatti show where the kids died. I was at that show. Didn't even know about it til I got home to some very worried people.

Loved the Who then, love em now.
