I've definitely heard that term used to describe kids in the 60s. But back to the point, the Who's music was a little too far on the pop side before Tommy. At least that's my opinion.
Not in the UK. That's my opinion.

Get the skins out JTM
They are out, ready for Ronnie on the snooker at two thirty. I don't mind watching Ronnie O, he gets on with it. The garden can wait until it cools down a bit.

The video for this song looks awful. Not that I expected Jimbo or the Stones to make an appearance, but it still defied my expectations. Anybody seen it?
Yes, it's alright.

Yep, and he’s killing a cash cow by not coming out with a ‘warts and all’ autobio like Clapton did. But, when you’re selling autographed pictures for upwards of $2k, why bother? I doubt he needs the cash.
Jim doesn't want a warts and all, the questions it would pose, best keep those doors closed. As for the cash cow, maybe thirty years ago but not now.

Going to get rid of some weeds in the back garden and jet wash the patio. Watch some snooker too.

I have to disagree with that one. I'm not much into their stuff pre Tommy as it's too teeny bopperish, but I won't deny the giant leap they made into rock genius with Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Who's Next.
The Who did not attract Teeny Boppers. That expression came about in the early seventies, it was aimed at fans of T Rex, Slade, The Sweet, that slime ball paedophile Glitter, Suzi Quatro too maybe.

Meh…"Blueberry Hill" has been superseded by the evening show of September 19, 1970 at Madison Square Garden as the best bootleg of 1970 in my book. 1970 Montreux and RAH are in the running but the 9.19.70 evening show has the superior setlist and dynamic energy and vibes.
I downloaded a version of that show years ago, I wasn't impressed with the sound quality so never really gave at a full listen. After seeing your post I thought I'd give it another go. Rather than go through half a dozen external HDs and a box of USB sticks looking for the show I went over to Dime to grab it again. Grabbed two versions, the first one has the same poor quality as the one I listened to years ago, the second one titled "Storming the Big Apple", wow, what a difference, night and day, very good sound quality. As you posted, the set list is superior, the energy and vibes are there for definite. For me this show has been lost along the way, when Broadband Internet came along I went download crazy, grabbing full shows in half an hour instead of a few days like happened with 56k dial up, so many of them I'd never give most more than a quick scan. Thanks for the recommendation Strider. I'm sure if I'd heard this show in the early seventies I would know like the back of my hand just like BBH, Going to California, Mudslide etc.

No, on there now in another window. Edge browser.

There is already a thread about this book. Wait, I thought there was, maybe I read it @RO or SHMF, or both.
I am tempted to buy this, I bought many TMOQs between 73 and 76 (other labels too) Should be an interesting read.

August 4, 1979 Knebworth Festival & Faire.
Given the time difference between California and England, Led Zeppelin should have been on the Knebworth stage by now 41 years ago. And JTM and chillumpuffer were probably already three sheets to the wind.
Not until the 11th, but yeah, I was running out of skins by the time Zeppelin came on.

Snooker.

It seems he is alive? But its not a sure thing. He did not have much money. Very strange, the whole thing. The motive is just crazy. I hope they catch the bastard if he is alive. They wanted to get this out in the USA and Latin America. Obviously the interest is huge in France. As far as a thumbs down? Its a crime investigation. It is what it is. Its not art or entertainment so I do not understand your harsh criticism on a crime show. It is what it is. I thought the French did a pretty good job of passing the info along. The way this guy took off is very baffling. He did not have much to live on. So if he is alive, i agree with the woman that thinks he may have boarded a ship in the Riviera. But he could very well have killed himself also but it does not look that way given how much he went through to cover up the crime.
I don't think it's strange at all, guy murders his family, hides the bodies, makes it look as though they all went away and then goes on the run. His motive, well he was clearly a fraud, (seemingly so was his father) been living a lie for years, living above his means. When it all finally came crashing down he probably had some kind of mental breakdown, in desperation murdered his family, he couldn't take the shame. People do strange things when they are mentally ill. As for the thumb down, that's the Netflix rating system, I didn't like what I saw of the series so I gave it thumb down, if they still had their previous star rating I would have given it three stars out of five, neither liked or disliked it.

This recording just popped up on Napster. I'd never heard it before, and I've never known Napster to put boots out there.
I apologize if this topic has been posted before, but this seems like a very welcome surprise.
I don't know anything about it.
I downloaded Blueberry Hill (very slowly) from Napster in around about 1996/97, before they went legit of course. The first thing I ever downloaded after discovering P2P file sharing in fact.

They were liked so well that they were kicked off the Sabbath tour for “outperforming them”.
R😎
They didn't get kicked off the tour, extra dates were added on to the tour. VH had other commitments and were unavailabe for the added shows. For the Liverpool show I went to I knew well in advance there would be no Van Halen.

Belated birthday greetings man.

Thanks for this Steve, an interesting listen, not made my mind up yet, I do think the drums sound a bit odd though.

I'd have to toss a coin, who would be heads who would be tails ?. There is no winner, both were great in the 70s =s in my book.

That is the tour, yes. It was disappointing that VH could not stay on as support for the added gigs on that Sabbath 78 tour, never got to see them.

Cost of groceries recently is killing me. Bacon is twice as much as it used to be.
My favorite album is still Tommy--- but recently I've been listening to Thick As A Brick a lot.
I love the Tommy album, played it yesterday and the day before (LP's) Today I might play the Blu-ray or the SACD for the surround mix (both different mixes), maybe I'll play both. TAAB could do with a listen too, it's been a few months....

Hey man. Have you caught the Sky Doc on Laurel Canyon? Part 1 was last Saturday with Part 2 this weekend. An excellent insight into 60's California
I have, I watched both episodes at the weekend, both on catch up (fewer adverts). Enjoyed them immensely the first a little more than the second. They are on my Sky+ box so I'll watch them again. So many artists featured that I love. I did feel that the odd one out in there was The Mamas and Papas, part of that Canyon scene but their music is definitely middle of the road compared to the other acts, not my cup of tea, one of the few acts I own nothing by.
Can't wait to see this.

I agree about the husband. He no doubt paid someone because he would have had a tough time doing it alone given the 13 minute time line? The other girl was killed by her bitch mother. The French one is the best by far. Dupont de Ligonnes. The most wanted man in France. You really need to watch the rest. That one is like Jon Bonet except we know who did it. But the ending is very strange. Its a great job by Sophie the French journalist who is the narrater. Her and the cop who retired are still on this one. They want to know what happened to this bastard and so do I
I finished the "French" episode, the only real mystery is the prime suspect is still on the run. Did not think much of it, gave it (the series) a thumb down rating. I'm not going to bother with the episodes I've not watched.

+1, never liked it either, in fact I find the art rather off putting and nasty.
It got worse when somebody coloured it in.

I don't think DW will ever get the re release treatment. Im pretty sure the Stones and most Stones fans would rather forget that album was ever released 🤣
I didn't buy it first time around, borrowed from the library instead. Didn't think it worthy of even being taped. No way would I buy a reissue.
Rolling Stones vs. Led Zeppelin- year to year, who wins out?

Nah sorry, don't agree, a blip in the early seventies who had a few hit singles. Nothing more than a novelty pop music act. Comparing Quatro to Patti Smith is like comparing a scribbled shopping list to Shakespeare.
