Big fan of The Who here.
Who’s Next and
Quadrophenia are by far my Top 2 albums, by any band. I think I burned out on
Tommy when I was back in my classic rock phase, as it hasn’t held up as well as the other two. I’d include
Live at Leeds in my list. Man what an awesome live album. Their version of ‘Summertime Blues’ is amazing. And good songs like ‘Happy Jack’ and I’m a Boy’ become great ones.
I normally dislike remastered albums that include ‘bonus’ tracks, but the 1995
Who’s Next includes the following, and they are all awesome songs, that are nearly as good as anything else they originally released.
"Baby Don't You Do It" (Holland-Dozier-Holland)
Previously unreleased. Marvin Gaye cover.
"Naked Eye" (Live)
Recorded live at the Young Vic on April 26, 1971.
"Water" (Live)
Previously unreleased. Recorded live at the Young Vic on April 26, 1971.
"Too Much of Anything"
"I Don't Even Know Myself"
I don't know how they are today (Pete & Roger that is)…
They are old. I mean, really. Actually, during the last Super Bowl show, I thought Pete was rockin’ like a kid jamming out in his parents’ garage, while Roger looked like he was underwater, or moving in slow-motion.
