CaledonianGonzo Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Speaking as one of about 3 people who enjoyed The Who in 2015, they need to take the knee this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the new tour could I corporate more of that. They seem to be splashing in new material already by the looks of it not listened to ball and chain yet, any good?

AlParkin03 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Feel like the 50th needs a full on singalong set from The Who if they turn up rather than new material and album tracks Edited September 20, 2019 by AlParkin03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to him, it's about Guantanamo.

It's all right. Very The Who trying to be modern. Listened to a live version on Youtube and Rogers voice seemed to have improved too. It's good. Although given their claiming their new album is there best since Quadrophenia, they're going to have to do better than that I'm afraid. 32 minutes ago, AlParkin03 said: Feel like the 50th needs a full on singalong set from The Who if they turn up rather than new material and album tracks You could get a sing-along with a couple of new album tracks thrown in for good measure.

Best since Quadrophenia is quite a sweeping statement so I’ll have to give it a listen. As long as it’s better than Endless Wire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was even doing it at the live debut of Ball & Chain (then called Big Cigar).... Got a round of flippin applause. Although it's people sitting he's having a go at so might not be a massive issue at Glasto.

Hugh Jass Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 The fucking Who are going to be nowhere near next year’s festival. They shouldn’t have been allowed back in 2015, yet alone 2020. Besides, they have a gig in Paris that weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 One of the more obvious signs of how I've aged over my years of following these E-Fests forums, while the gap between my age and that of the average poster on here has gotten bigger, is how incredulous I was to the negative reaction given to The Who headlining on here just 4 years ago ... or..as my sister texted me on my way to a Who gig earlier this month at Madison Square Garden "Watch out for the 'walkers' in the moshpit!!!"

Nah E Fest posters hate everybody. Near enough every band made it into the who was crap at Glastonbury 2019 thread. People here often like to be hipsteresque. You actuallybget to the festival and people havent got the same opinion than here by far. Most forums are like that tbf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) How are the who still going? Everything about them now is tepid, bland and gammon hued.

Are cinemas depressing? You never been to a bloody stadium for a football match? You stand the fuck up if you're allowed to in that section. Non-standing restriction's don't apply to music concerts as far as I'm aware, so I'd assume you can stand.
