Jahfin Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not everyone here believes Zep is the best live band of all time. I'd definitely put them up there (along with The Who) though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioservant Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I really like th Who, especially Pete is such a great rhythm guitar player and songwriter, also very intelligent from what I heard in interviews. He's really desillusionating all myths of rock ...and Tommy is the greatest concept album ever! What are your favourite Who - Bootlegs?

ZepFanatic Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Tanglewood is in the highest echelon of Who performances. Yep...just about as good (and different from) as Leeds... Have you heard the tracks from San Francisco 12/13/71 on View From a Backstage Pass? Holy crap, the sound is phenomenal...best live version of Bargain EVER!

I have the SF bootleg on silver CD...it's a SBD but is a rough sounding one...still great, but trust me the sound quality on VFABP blows it away!

Right now I'm listening to the Amsterdam 9-29-69 show. Sounds superb! Keith Moon is perfect for The Who. He's busy and brings a jazz feel, like Mitch Mitchell brought to the Experience.

Sounds superb! Keith Moon is perfect for The Who. He's busy and brings a jazz feel, like Mitch Mitchell brought to the Experience. That Amsterdam show is a killer...there a few goofs during Tommy but overall it's awesome. Little bit of trivia...when running up the stairs to go onstage at the beginning of the show, Moon tripped and fell and bloodied himself pretty badly...still played the entire show. This is a guy who played some gigs in 1969 with a BROKEN FOOT...just downed a LOAD of pills and played. The guy was a nut, but one of the best drummers ever!

It has the first full performance of Tommy in an indoor setting. The concert hall is one normally reserved for classical and operatic shows. Pete Townsend says how Amsterdam more represents a 'complete' European city, than London. Something like that. He says he just likes it. Moon rarely played a straight beat, more like a drummer with ADHD ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzovonludwig Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Listened to the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium show this morning(July 29 1971) Forgot how much I enjoyed this set. I'll try to put together a list of my favourites. Many tough choices to make.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepFanatic Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The real shame is that except for SF 12/13/71 and Young Vic in April '71, it's a year that was AMAZING for The Who but has loads of rubbish recordings, sound-wise. Same with 1972 and 1973 (which is a crime...Quad is my favorite Who album!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakdaddy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just picked up the current issue of Mojo magazine with the Townshend cover (Daltrey has a seperate cover too). Great article on "The Who Sellout" time period & a review of the newest reissue of that album. A must have issue for serious Who fans who love that period of the band (my personal favorite).
