Thanks for the interview links bye bye johnny.
"But they (Stones) also don’t seem to see much sign of creative development. I’m also very friendly with Mick (Jagger),
and I know he’s frustrated about the fact that it seems very difficult for them to come up with new material". - PT
Bummer.
"I’m hoping that Endless Wire will line up a little better now that we’ve put this album out.
I think people might go back and listen to it now and find it less awful than they originally thought". - PT
Lol...been a while since I've listened to it, but maybe I'll give it another chance and there will be some newfound appreciation...or maybe not.

I'm finally getting the chance to sit back and spend some quality time listening to this. I'm very impressed, there are no tracks that make me cringe, and many that really move me. How I have missed Pete's songwriting. Interesting chord changes, bridges that catch you unexpected, and loads of Pete backing (and lead) vocals. The production is just sparkling too, with so many little touches that catch your ears on different listens.
If the Stones could produce anything even half as moving as The Who album I would be happy (and surprised).

Am I the only one who Thinks Endless Wire pis*es all over the new one? EW is a wonky record in the same vein as Who By Numbers and Who Are You. The new one sounds like U2, and as Dandy pointed out, that autovox thing going on makes me cringe. Mike Post Theme, Marty Robins,,Black Widow's Eyes and the EW opera are up there with the best of The Who, the new one doesn't have one track standing up to them, unfortunately.

Just remember, it took Chuck Berry many years to put out his last album.

Pino was in the band for the 2015 shows, but had other commitments in 2016, so they used Jon Button from Roger’s solo band. Rog decided that he likes Jon better as he sounds more like Entwistle, so he’s stayed on. Pete says Roger really wants to be in a Who tribute band.

Pino was in the band for the Desert Trip shows in 2016, and pretty sure all of other shows leading up to Desert Trip.

a lot of things seem to go on in Kingston.
anyhow: isn't it strange that the Who are much cheaper than Ronnie Wood?

Hoping this is filmed, The Who never did a proper unplugged-type release.
Really bad optics.Quote
