The Who fans.... (videos, band, drum, player)

[KoobleKar]

About all I can say is DAMN!

Some kid on YouTube has a playlist for fans of The Who which is a MUST SEE.

He took all the best video available from The Who's 1970 concert in Massachusetts' Music Shed (aka: Tanglewood) and synched it up perfectly with the best steareo Hi Fi audio available.

This concert not only was the last time they played the rock opera Tommy live, but Pete Townshend said it was their best live performance ever.

The link to this guy's channel is: http://www.youtube.com/user/thebigguyconnor

Watch the entire playlist. BTW, he's made the playlist into a DVD that you can download online if you ask him for the link in a PM.


Here's one of the videos from the playlist to give you a taste:

+1 here! They rate right up there with the best of them in my opinion. I bet I could post thirty or more favs.

It's easy to forget that they were a 3 piece band and each of the musicians were among the top at their respective instruments.

Moon played as if he were doing a drum solo throughout an entire piece.

The Ox was one of the greatest bassists who was also practically soloing every song.

Pete the genius writer and power chord player extraordinaire. Not to mention his solos are magnificent.

And the amazing vocals and range of Daltry.

Ok, so you tempted me! Great thread by the way! This short list by no means is all of them!

Here is the pick-up toggle switch technique in 1965. That's way before 1968 and Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Lenny Kravitz, Slash and a list of other guitarists from 80's hair bands borrowed it from him. Pete was the first to do it and here is the song!

This is a clip of the Monterey Pop Festival held June of 1967. This was the first time Jimi Hendrix played as The Experience live in the U.S. As a matter of fact, this was "the" first song. He takes the stage right after The Who. The Who had been destroying their equipment for quite some time prior to this. As you can see in the clip. They liked to wreck s***! lmao Jimi stole their act in an attempt to one up them. Not Jimi, oh man!
