Mike Patton I went to see them in Dublin last week. I went along hoping that I might see a bit of impressive/unique guitar work from Pete, but deep down I knew I wouldn't. Got talking to a middle aged who fan on the way to the concert who'd seen them two nights before. He said they were fantastic. I just thought to myself... 'you're a die hard who fan.. you'd say that anyway.' At the rate Pete's going, in a few years all he'll be able to do is swing his arm!!!! That never did it for me. 2007 was the last year he could sing this properly. On the rare occasion, he makes a proper impressive effort of the guitar solo intro to Eminence Front!

Floyd Collins Great insight brother. I think at this point, it's fair to expect that we will never see the Townsend of circa 65'-75' ever again. And now without Entwistle and those Godly bass lines dominating the subs, and of course, Moon, The Who is now sort of a novelty act with a bunch of sidemen. I love them with all my heart but I think it would just break my heart to see them live now. Peace.

RIP Alan Rogan, you just know he looked skyward when Townshend chucked that Strat and said to himself "Here we go..." I LOVE those modified Clapton Strats Townshend uses, well now they've no doubt had his name put on them since the Custom Shop released that signature model a few years ago. That preamp coupled with the Fishman bridge is just so cool, Townshend rarely uses it like Clapton does to get that faux humbucker compressed woman tone, instead Pete just uses it to drive those VibroKing amps' front end just a bit. Great tone. And Zak using that X-hat as high as a crash cymbal is badass. It's like he's always open when he plays, since he's not crossing his arms playing standard hats. Dude's just an ice cold drummer, one of the best.

It's not like someone was offstage saying "Crap! We need to find another guitar just like that one! You stall Pete and I'll look around!" No, they just grab another from the rack, put the capo on it, and run it out there. Cool video, always liked this song.

So yeah - you totally missed the point of my comments. And if we're going to split hairs, at least initially the Who's music WAS at least in part about "clothes and shaving" - they were a Mod band after all. "I Am The Face"/Zoot Suit" being the obvious examples.
