Even though he used the particular sort of electric drums I seem to hear Roger saying after quitting singing that "there is no plexi/barrier..."

Quotemosthigh They have nothing but admiration for him but fired him for overplaying. If Moon were still alive they probably would have fired him for the same thing as well. Roger took over the band at some point and fired longtime keyboardist John 'Rabbit' Bundrick, and made all kinds of sound demands, while Pete just sits on the sidelines and shrugs and accepts it all.

Quotepeoplewitheyes Yep, Kenny indeed seems like a very decent guy, liked by (almost everyone), and, of course, he was put in a very unenviable position to fill Moon's shoes.

Quotepeoplewitheyes I was there last night. To be honest, it was a rather uninspired set list. At times PT seemed rather dis-engaged (possibly because of his recent knee op), and brother Simon did a lot of the heavy lifting, but Roger was in very impressive voice. The overall sound of The Who, however, was pretty lacklustre. Support act Level 42 (very very far from my favourite band) had

Quotesyrel Quotethecitadel I understand that the Stones have decided to self-insure for recent tours. That would explain why in the US last year they carried on even when Keith and then Mick were clearly suffering from illnesses. It also explains why there are more, longer gaps, in touring schedule - the extra cost of keeping the whole touring team on the road is clearly assessed to be less t

Quotetreaclefingers I gotta say that Seattle 2019 and Seattle and Vancouver 2024 were amongst the most memorable for me. Which probably in large part is that as I'm getting older, I'm forgetting the other shows I was at in '89, '94, '97, '98, '05, '06 and 2013. As Seattle ‘19 and Seattle ‘24 are the only two I’ve seen so far, I agree! Both great shows.

In my opinion, Zach seems to do a fine job with the Who tunes. It sounds like, in his nicest way, he's not saying
