Yep. Will be on my download list for later.  

Have you seen the Neil Young one from around the same time?

"Now thats..... music"

I have them both on dvd. I love the 'innonence' in both performances, there's a real purity there

Where'd you get them on dvd!!?

I've downloaded a load of live Neil gigs (videos) recently. The gig from Berlin in 1982 on the Trans tour is hilarious. Some of the stuff off that album played "live" with Neil and Nils Lofgren dancing around with just the headset mics on and all the robot noises!!  

His new album is streaming online by the way. Very impressed. Its like a really f**ked up version of Pink Moon by Nick Drake. Some mean mean riffs in there. Particularly "Angry World".

Jim Morrison. Died 40 years ago today. Pity we cant go see a 67 year old Jim sing these days.

Just been to see Roger Daltry touring the complete performance of Tommy.  Superb.  Great band including Pete Townsend's younger brother (Pete's now deaf and doesn't tour).  Great stage presence and what a wonderful body of music.  A 10 out of 10 on our Glasto scale.  Can't recommend it highly enough.

Tommy, without Pete, is unthinkable

I saw it last week, great gig. But not The Who obviously. Roger approached it as a fan of the band and as the album where he found his voice for The Who.

In other related rock new, L.A. Woman by The Doors is being released a 2 CD set later in the year. Alt takes of songs, studio chatter etc. Great for Doors nerds.

The "whos idea was it to put thunder on Riders?" argument finally settled too. It was Jim.

Saw it myself and it was brilliant. Pete does still tour as he's said The Who are touring Quadrophenia next year, its just that it was Daltreys idea to tour Tommy but Pete wasnt up for it but gave him his blessing to do it by himself.

The Who should be a band that I love, but they do absolutely nothing for me.  

Apart from Substitute, and possibly the Real Me.  They seem very two dimensional compared to Zeppelin.

Recently discovered Led Zeppelin footage from Paris in 1969 here.

Can't disagree more.  I love Zep and have also enjoyed seeing Percy in various other collaborations but The Who produced some great anthems and some spectacular live shows.  I appreciate that this is a very old performance at Woodstock but it was a classic.

Agree 100%. Some of Townshends lyrics/themes etc, although wacky, are timeless. And as a live band, their telepathy on stage was second to none.





This performance below was so good, it showed up the Stones who didn't release this concert for 30 years as a result. Also because the Stones were totally off their tits. Brian Jones and Keef in particular were a disaster.

And now ladies & gentlemen, dig The Who.

No, not buying it.  Dunno what it is.  Don't have the depth or the nuances of Zeppelin.  And Daltery is too small to be a classic rock front-man.

It's nowt to do with pedalo Pete either.

It's all about the material, I guess.  Just doesn't work for me.  Lord knows I've tried, but those clips don't do it, the Live Woodstock performance doesn't do it, and all that Pinball Tommy Quadrophenia concept stuff doesn't do it for me.

They excite me about as much as Deep Purple.
