I’ve also grown to love the two Quadrophenia outtakes, “Four Faces” and “Joker James” (Pete’s Demo version is the best)
Steve Howe still *is* a fantastic artist, I saw Yes a few months ago, and it was quite a good show. And the young guy they’ve brought in to replace Steve Howe is worthy. And Steve was still great right to the end, I saw him with Yes less than a year before he died.
Barry Manilow more to your taste, no doubt?
No. Amoeba is overrated and you cant even park around for cheap. We talked him up at a record store in Los Feliz, I forgot the name but it’s along Sunset. Pete Townshend does the same in the area. He even said you cant even “find this sh*t in London” XD
True about parking. True all over Hollywood. Still a great story!
I always loved the onstage banter between Keith and Pete.

Pete Townshend’s Classic Quadrophenia US shows, including September 16, 2017 concert at the Greek Theater, Los Angeles, were in support of a very special cause. Pete is dedicated to helping teens and young adults with cancer. With The Who bandmate Roger Daltrey, he co-founded the Daltrey/Townshend Teen and Young Adult Cancer Program at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. Private wealth advisor Rebecca Rothstein was instrumental in expanding UK’s Teenage Cancer Trust to the US and helping make Teen Cancer America a reality.

I was there :). “almost” as good as Clapton at the Forum but still worth it. I think I was the only one in the crowd who didnt have white hair XD
LOL, I wonder when Pete wrote “My Generation” he could have ever imagined this 50+ years later.
Idol was alright but he seemed kinda tired. He has a house show in Vegas at one of the hotels so that could explain it..
I hear tell that the Stones Rock and Roll Circus collected dust because the Who blew the Stones off the stage. Out of all the performances on that film the only one worth preserving is the Who. A must see. Jethro Tull was pretty good also.
Yeah, Tull was good but the guitarist was Tony Iomi the guitarist from Black Sabbath. I also really liked Lennon and his super group doing “Yer Blues”. The Stones were a bit anti climatic and that’s why the film was in the vault so long. They finally released it but it wasn’t the Stones best effort.
Is it me, for a moment?
Vinnie is a great guy. I saw the Fudge, less Tim, about six months ago here in PHX. They were, of course, awesome. Carmine had never been better, and Mark hit all the notes. But it was also sad that there were, maybe, 100 people in the little club.
I remember them opening for Hendrix in front of 10,000 at the Colisseum.
Huge fan. The group that started my expensive music collection hobby 38 years ago. Sold off my 7” original (who) UK Fontana 1964 High numbers single Zoot Suit/I’m the Face three years ago for a couple Grand. Still have my Decca USA WL promo LP of My Generation.
I had never even heard of this. Thank you for drawing my attention to it.
RE: Chris Squire’s Swiss Choir
Chris Squire’s love of music began singing in church as a young boy, and his love of harmony developed from that. Love of harmony is what brought Chris and Jon Anderson together to form Yes.
Though originally conceived as a Christmas album, this album allowed Chris to revisit his roots, as well as perform with Steve Hackett that laid the groundwork for a later collaboration, Squakett.
All in all, I think CSSC is an awesome album, not just an awesome Christmas record. I listen to it all the time.
