Pete blogs that there'll be a new '- album in 2010...

24th August, 2009
UPDATE

I am writing a new musical.

FLOSS is an ambitious new project for me, in the style of TOMMY and QUADROPHENIA. In this case the songs are interspersed with surround-sound 'soundscapes' featuring complex sound-effects and musical montages. FLOSS will be a son-et-lumiére musical piece, intended for outdoor performance, or arenas. Several of the more conventional songs from FLOSS will be featured on a forthcoming Who recording for release in 2010. FLOSS will be heard in concert for the first time in 2011, at a venue and date yet to be established. I am already having talks with producers in New York.

The collected music and sound for FLOSS convey the story of a married couple whose relationship gets into difficulty. Walter, a straight-cut pub rock musician, is able to retire when one of his songs becomes the TV anthem of a big car company. He becomes a house-husband while his wife Floss devotes herself to a riding stables and stud. When he tries to return to music after a fifteen year hiatus, he finds that what he hears and what he composes evoke the ecologically rooted, apocalyptic mindset of his generation. Shaken by this and torn by personal difficulties, he and Floss become estranged. A series of dramatic events in a hospital emergency ward bring them both to their senses.

While Roger Daltrey exercises his ageing vocal chords by embarking on a two month USE OR LOSE IT solo tour, my focus is on FLOSS, which touches on the current issues faced by the Boomer generation. It also addresses their uneasy relationship with their parents, children and grandchildren. As a 19 year old – with My Generation – I wrote the most explicitly ageist song in rock. At 64, I now want to take on ageing and mortality, using the powerfully angry context of rock 'n' roll.

TOMMY can you hear me? If Pete thinks he can write another musical, than he should do it! Or is that a rock-opera?

Townshend's written a slew of concept pieces.
'Floss' is just the latest.

Pete needs to learn the concept of a lead singer who can actually sing.

Not quite.  But Roger can only sing decently about once a week or so nowadays.  A traditional tour should be vetoed.

Daltrey's upcoming tour sked is heavier than that.
Guess he hasn't been listening to the tapes...

A Vespa?

Where's the GS scooter?

" Where's the GS scooter ? "


left shoe shuffle .........

Look what I just found :


" The Mod(grand)father: Pete Townshend returns to his roots on Fifties scooter at age of 64  "



" He is perhaps the best-known figurehead of the Mod movement in the 1960s.


And it is clear that even in his 64th year, Pete Townshend has not lost his rebellious streak.


The former Who guitarist, once famed for smashing up guitars on stage and hotel rooms off it, is showing his lawlessness in a less extreme fashion nowadays.


Neighbours at his sprawling £15 million mansion on Richmond Hill in Surrey have been surprised to find the rocker eschewing the trappings of fame and fortune to pootle around the town on that most Mod of accessories - a bright red Vespa motorscooter.


Even more surprising to locals has been Townshend's bizarre habit of riding the 50cc bike not, as might be expected, into his garage, but right over the threshold and into the hallway of his home. The curious spectacle was captured by a Mail photographer this week.


As Townshend pulled up outside his house on the Vespa, he simply leaned across to unlock the door, revved the engine up and steamed right on in over the welcome rug.



Who lives in a house like this: Pete simply parks his Vespa inside

Earlier, Townshend, in sunglasses and a bright orange helmet, had left his house on the scooter through the same door before immediately breaking the law and riding 200 meters the wrong way down a one-way street.


What makes the strange parking arrangement even more intriguing is the fact that Townshend keeps a number of exclusive cars - including a blue Ferrari - off-street behind a high wooden gate just a few meters further down the road.


Townshend told the Mail this week that he had so much fun on the 125cc Vespa he uses to get around at his and his girlfriend Rachel Fuller's home in France that he decided to buy one for his English home.  


And of course, the Vespa must bring back golden memories of his Mod heyday when such scooters were iconic symbols of the movement, adorned with mirrors and lights and rode wearing fishtail parkas.


As the guitarist and songwriter for The Who, he wrote more than 100 songs for the band's eleven studio albums, including the rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia and the singles My Generation and Substitute.


He amassed a £40 million fortune from four decades in the business.


However, Townshend's wife of 40 years, Karen Astley, filed for divorce in April, prompting a fight over his million fortune.


Astley, who had been separated from Townshend for 15 years, hired Fiona Shackleton, the formidable lawyer who represented Sir Paul McCartney in his split from Heather Mills.


Court papers stated Miss Astley found her husband's behaviour 'no longer tolerable'. Whether that included riding motorbikes into the house is not known.


The divorce paves the way for Townshend, 63, to marry girlfriend Miss Fuller, 35.  "

Roger Daltrey Promises New Takes on Who Tracks on Fall Solo Tour

9/8/09, 2:57 pm EST

The Who won’t be hitting the road again until next year, but as Rolling Stone reported, Roger Daltrey won’t be staying home during their hiatus. “That’s a long time for me,” says Daltrey, “so I put a little band together. I’m going back to where it all began.” For his first solo shows since 1985, Daltrey and his own band (which includes Simon Townshend, Pete’s brother, on guitar) will be playing theaters in October and November. “Simon’s my mate,” he says. “And like me, he needs to work.”

The set list is still in the works, but Daltrey is promising “different versions of Who songs” — like an acoustic reworking of “Who Are You.” (”Strip away the synthesizers and it’s a blues song,” he says.) He’s also considering rarely performed tracks from Who albums like The Who By Numbers and Face Dances (”I always liked ‘Cache Cache,’ ” he says) as well as select tracks from his own albums, like “Walk on Water” and a few of the Leo Sayer covers from his 1973 album Daltrey.

Fans expecting solo hits like “Avenging Annie” or “After the Fire” may be disappointed: “Some of those might sound dated now,” Daltrey says. But the lineup — and the balance between solo and Who songs — are still in the planning stages. “The show has to be a journey,” he says, laughing. “An enjoyable journey or it could be a bumpy ride!”

When The Who do resume rework next year, Daltrey says he and Townshend are considering playing Tommy or Quadrophenia in full. “I’d like to do a stripped-down show — no staging, no big production, just play the bloody music,” he says. “The music is timeless.” Although Daltrey keeps his voice in shape with vocal warm-ups — and even calls his solo tour Use It Or Lose It — he’s also realistic about his singing future. Of the Quadrophenia songs, he says, “These are the last years of my life that I can sing that material.”

The Quadrophenia material might have already reached it's sell-by date.

According to Roger, 'Sea And Sand' gave him trouble on the last tour...

" When Singers Can't Sing Their Songs Anymore "


" While The Who is on hiatus, Roger Daltrey is going solo for his "Use It or Lose It" tour starting October 10. "Use It or Lose It" refers to Daltrey's voice, or as bandmate Pete Townshend puts it, "his aging vocal chords." In an interview with Rolling Stone, Daltrey was even more blunt, "These are the last years of my life that I can sing that material," he confessed.
I love The Who. "Quadrophenia" saved my life. Literally saved my life. Daltrey's wail was one of the most gut-wrenching, soul busting sounds in rock.
Was.
I'm sad to say that Daltrey has already lost it. Give the guys props for sticking with it but he ain't the Daltrey of days past. He's old and that youthful wail has turned into a croak. It's painful to hear. It's painful for me to say it out loud. I love the man. I owe him and his bandmates for rescuing my childhood. Still, I can't hide behind the romanticism of my classic rock past.
RELATED GALLERY: See singers who have NEVER been able to sing
The truth is this: singing over-the-top rock is a young man's game. At a certain point, a singer needs to either start making instrumentals or seriously reinvent his style. Sadly, most have trouble shifting gears and insist on singing like a twenty-year-old well into their 60s. Their ears somehow don't hear what the rest of ours hear. Those magic falsettos have crashed to earth.
As evidence, I submit two versions of "Love Reign O'er Me," the epic grand finale from "Quadrophenia." The first is from a 1982 Who concert. It's a tepid performance and Daltrey and Townshend are dressed like understudies for Culture Club. Still, by this point, Daltrey has been singing this song for almost 10 years and his voice is tight and focused.  "


Rubbish !!!!!



Absolute friggin RUBBISH !!!!!

I just viewed the second youtube clip again and Roger sounds majestic !!!!

Does Roger sometimes have an ' off ' night ?!  :

Yes , but Pete MORE than makes up for Rog.'s lack of vocal range these days by playing the friggin HELL out of his guitar . Word .

Pearl Jam?  Heart?  Joey, are you off your meds?  Much as I love to death John, Keith and Rog as players and singers, Pete needed the Who because he couldn't give a concert by himself.  Lifehouse demos speak for themselves!

You better make sure about that. Somebody posted this on IORR yesterday:

I obtained a ticket to his first solo show this Saturday. "Meet & Greet." I received an "Important Alert" e-mail message today from Ticketmaster advising no "Meet & Greet" (was advised that "we are no longer able to offer the Meet & Greet in its entire package for this event)." Got general admission instead, rather than preferred seating, and the etc. What's with that? Too bad, because I was looking forward to it, and now I am not going at all. I got a full refund instead (except for CDN $4.35 in Ticketmaster service charges)

Interesting. A whole lot more 'oo than Daltrey said there'd be...

Enjoy the show, GS!

Where's "Say It Ain't So, Joeykins?" :pukey

Or "Free JB"

" VANCOUVER — For fans of the Who, watching Roger Daltrey perform at the Commodore must be like a Catholic having the Pope say mass in their living room.

But at least a few members of the sold-out faithful weren't showing much forgiveness for indie-rock opening act, Paper Zoo, whose brief set one Daltrey disciple leaning againt the bar described as "possibly the worst s--- I've ever heard."

Well, everyone's a critic.

The fittingly named Use It or Lose It tour – billed by Daltrey as a vocal warmup for an upcoming Who album and subsequent tour – was a stripped-down affair that kicked off in Vancouver Saturday night featuring some of his solo work, a few covers and, of course, some crowd-pleasing Who tracks.

The lengthy set, which topped 100 minutes, kicked off with a polite welcome for Daltrey from the crowd and, perhaps not surprisingly, an acoustic/plugged-in hybrid of the Who’s hit, Who Are You, which probably reminded more than one aging rock fan in the crowd to PVR the tenth season of CSI.

Daltrey was accompanied onstage by longtime collaborator, guitarist Simon Townshend (who was celebrating a birthday); and a solid quartet of American players, including guitarist Frank Simes, bassist Jon Button, keyboardist Loren Gold and drummer Scott Devours.

He gave his pipes somewhat of a break when he slowed things down with A Second Out – from his solo compilation album, Moonlighting – and Tattoo. But he still seemed to labour somewhat through I Can See for Miles.

Interestingly, it was after that struggle he complained about the sound, calling it “weird”, though he’d already mentioned the echo was “worse than a stadium.”

Considering it was the tour’s leadoff performance, though, Daltrey sounded like he was in decent form, especially on less vocally taxing tracks like 2,000 Years and a decidedly countrified reworking of Squeeze Box, which the crowd helped out on during the chorus.

Daltrey could’ve used more assistance shortly afterwards.

After telling the crowd about the inspiration behind the writing of Days of Light, he then forgot the words about halfway through, stopped the band and tried again.

Of course, no one seemed to mind, since the show had a laidback, informal feel to it.

But, when he screwed up the next one too, he wisely chose to just move on to more memorable fare, which included a decent double-shot of Johnny Cash covers (I Got Stripes and Ring of Fire), an homage to a singer who Daltrey found quite influential as a teenager.

Then the guy next to me decided to give me his unsolicited interpretation of the opening act.

"Every song they did made me feel like I was having a baby out of my eyeballs," he said.

I see.

Back to Daltrey: he also performed Boris the Spider, a song he sang at the memorial for former Who bassist John Entwistle, who wrote and performed the song at the group’s live shows up until he died in 2002. “For the great bloke that he was,” Daltrey said.

Near the end of the main set, Daltrey belted out Baba O’Riley (don’t forget to PVR season six of CSI: New York!), which got the reasonably mellow crowd riled enough for a serious sing-along during the chorus.

That set the stage for the last song of the main set: A Daltrey-led sing-along of the timeless classic, Happy Birthday, which was dedicated to band-mate Simon Townshend.

Brother Pete was certainly missed. Still, on this night, fans certainly got their fix. Even if it proved that, while you can take Daltrey out of the Who, you can’t take the Who out of Daltrey.  "

Roger Daltrey's storied voice is reduced to a frustrating rasp by end of sold-out concert at House of Blues
By John Soeder, The Plain Dealer
November 04, 2009, 1:45AM

John Soeder, The Plain Dealer
Roger Daltrey performs Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009, at House of Blues in Cleveland.

Roger Daltrey brought his Use It or Lose It Tour to Cleveland for a sold-out concert Tuesday night at House of Blues.

He used it all right. Unfortunately, he lost it, too.

The Who’s frontman -- a shoo-in on any list of the greatest rock ’n’ roll singers -- had to cut short his set after 90 minutes when his voice gave out.

At least the evening got off to a robust start, with Daltrey up to the challenge of three classic Who songs: “Who Are You,” “Pictures of Lily” and “Behind Blue Eyes.”

It was a rare pleasure catching this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in a relatively intimate setting. Usually Daltrey, 65, can be found belting out classic-rock anthems on the arena circuit.

Early on, he told fans that his solo tour was an excuse to have some fun.

Mission accomplished, to the tune of a handful of worthy selections from his oft-overlooked solo career (including “Who’s Gonna Walk on Water”) and an intriguing cross-section of personal favorites by other artists. In the latter category, Daltrey salvaged a couple of songs -- “Freedom Ride” and “Gimme a Stone” -- from “Largo,” an obscure song cycle by members of the Hooters, based on Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony.

Roger Daltrey performs Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009, at House of Blues in Cleveland.

Daltrey didn’t downplay the Who, either. Alongside crowd-stoking renditions of “Squeeze Box” and “I Can See for Miles,” he even revisited “Tattoo,” an obscurity off 1967’s “The Who Sell Out” album.

He also fired off a few bars of “My Generation,” recast with a swinging blues arrangement. It segued into a partial take on the Muddy Waters standard “Mannish Boy.”

Daltrey had to draw the line somewhere, though. When someone called out a request for “Magic Bus,” Daltrey shot back: “What is it about ‘Magic Bus?’ One of the worst songs we ever did!”

He often strummed a guitar while he sang. His proficient five-piece backing band included Simon Townshend on guitar and occasional vocals. He sounded enough like his older brother, the Who’s Pete Townshend, to pull off a fun “Goin’ Mobile.”

Daltrey embellished the latter song with colorful bursts of harmonica. Ditto a rough-around-the-edges “Baba O’Riley.”

By then, his storied voice had been reduced to a frustrating rasp.

Signs posted around the venue stated that at Daltrey’s request, the air conditioning had been turned off. Despite such measures, as well as a steady stream of warm beverages in mugs for our hoarse hero, Daltrey slowly morphed into Tom Waits before our ears.

The frayed edges actually worked to Daltrey’s advantage during a ferocious “Young Man Blues,” the Mose Allison chestnut popularized via the Who’s seminal 1970 album, “Live at Leeds.”

Other numbers weren’t as lucky. A Johnny Cash medley and the Who’s “Blue, Red and Grey” were abandoned because Daltrey’s pipes just weren’t up to snuff, although he managed to get through a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Born on the Bayou” before calling it quits.

Daltrey was his own harshest critic, if not entirely apologetic.

“I sound terrible,” he said toward the end of the show.

“I had a very bad night’s sleep last night,” he added. “This is what I woke up with. So tough [expletive] [expletive].”

WHO Tops Rock Fans Wish List for Superbowl Halftime 2010
By Hildi @ February 11, 2009 6:17 PM Permalink | Comments (5) | TrackBacks (0)
Shawn from Deltona told me LED ZEPPELIN playing next year's Superbowl would be the Ultimate choice - especially if, somehow, they were able to keep it a surprise. Agreed! But Rolling Stone readers chose differently...see the list and give your opinion...


The Who have topped a new poll asking fans who they want to see at next year's Super Bowl halftime show.

I can only guess that most people think the prospect of Led Zeppelin playing the event is, well, not a prospect - or they would have topped the list.

Bruce Springsteen, who did a 12-minute set at this year's game, suggested that Coldplay are hired to play at Superbowl XLIV, which takes place at the Dolphin Stadium in Miami. However, the British band only came 15th in the new vote.

Previous acts to perform halftime shows include The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Justin Timberlake, Prince and Aerosmith.

The top ten:

1. The Who
2. Pearl Jam
3. Guns n' Roses
4. Van Halen
5. Dave Matthews Band
6. Foo Fighters
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers
8. AC/DC
9. Neil Young
10. Led Zeppelin


http://whtq.com/blogs/rock_news/2009/02/who-tops-rock-fans-wish-list-f.html

So WHO is performing at the halftime of Super Bowl XLIV on Feb. 7 in Miami?


" Who wants some breaking news? Who wants to know who is performing at halftime of Super Bowl XLIV on Feb. 7 in Miami? Who wants me to shut up and just get to it already?

Joey, I hoping all is well with you, however, I am troubled by an item within this post.
I notice the first line of "why's" are one character to the left of each of the subsequent lines.
In addition, the first line is missing a why.
These faux pas ruin the intent of the remaining why's in your statement.
We are looking to impress the new posters to Rocks Off, these type of errors
reduce the high quality of posting which Rocks Off is known for.
Kindly be more cognizant of such items in the future if you desire to achieve maximum impact to your intent in this type of phraseology.  

Towards the WHO @ the Super Bowl, this is another example of English Rock providing maximum entertainment to the largest television viewing audience in February.  This will certainly trump any of the paltry acts presently being hailed as "superstars", only to be lost in the abyss of time (see N Sync) who have performed at this event in the past.  Roger Daltrey would be wise to end his solo tour now to rest his voice for this event, he needs all the help he can get.  I will look forward to Pete Townsend windmills & Zak Starkey intense drumming while consuming several glasses of a fine merlot.  

I will refrain from entertaining any thought to the participants in this epic event, as there are many important games left on the schedule.  One game at a time.

Thank you for your cooperation & support.

Game's on CBS.
Cue the CSI Trilogy.

And don't be surprised if they follow the lead of Petty and Springsteen and put tickets for their 2010 Tour on sale February 8th...

" The Who: Super Bowl halftime performers
Last Updated: 4:29 AM, November 13, 2009

Posted: 1:10 AM, November 13, 2009 "



" The Who will perform during halftime at this year's Super Bowl, according to reports.

The band, led by surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, are all set for Super Bowl XLIV Feb. 7 in Miami, according to Sports Illustrated.

The NFL hasn't confirmed the booking, saying only that, "When we have something to announce, we'll announce it."

But the choice of the renowned British rockers makes sense, since CBS uses Who songs as intros for all three of its "CSI" shows: "Who Are You" ("CSI"), "Baba O'Riley" ("CSI: NY") and "Won't Get Fooled Again" ("CSI: Miami").

The Super Bowl -- which draws TV's biggest annual audience -- is traditionally a huge showcase for A-list acts during the halftime show.

In past years, the roster of performers has included Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson (and her infamous "wardrobe malfunction"), Paul McCartney, U2, The Rolling Stones, Prince and Bruce Springsteen.

CBS officials had no comment yesterday. "

No Mojo  .... NOT Joey Merlot !!!! :





"  Cono Sur Merlot 2008

A soft and serious Merlot. A wine of great tipicity and remarkable fruit expression. This wine’s colour is dark and intense. In nose, concentrated notes of black fruit and soft hints of sweet toasted oak. In mouth this Merlot surprises with its excellent structure, balanced acidity, fruit intensity and pleasantly ripe tannins. Undoubtedly to be drunk young.

Food Pairing

Merlot can be served with steaks, burgers, duck, lamb, and pork. It also goes quite well with rare tuna and foods flavoured with balsamic vinegar. This wine is also smooth enough to accompany a salad toppled with cheese or cold cuts. "

NEW YORK -- According to a report, the Who will perform at Super Bowl XLIV, marking their first performance in North America since 2008.

SI.com reports that the veteran U.K. band will take the stage during the halftime show of the 2010 NFL championship game, scheduled for Feb. 7 in Miami.

The NFL has yet to officially confirm the report, saying, "When we have something to announce, we'll announce it."

During a recent stop on his "Use It or Lose It" solo tour, frontman Roger Daltrey told Billboard.com that he and bandmate/composer Pete Townshend were working on new material for the Who's followup to 2006's "Endless Wire."

"Hopefully if this tour has done it's job, I'll be in really good form as a vocalist," said Daltrey. "And who knows, we might make our best work."

Townshend has also acknowledged working on two projects -- a new musical called "Floss" and the Who's next album, which he has said will include some pieces from the "Floss" project. "

That's a good setlist. Now if they can just find somebody who can play it well.

Daltrey's band includes longtime Who sideman - and Pete's little brother - Simon.
His playing and singing are spot on.

Guitarist Frank Simes has recorded and toured with a guy name Mick Jagger.

Bassist Jon Button has recorded and toured with several acts, including Sheryl Crow.

Drummer Scott Devours is no Zak Starkey, but he's no slouch either.

Sounds like a great Who tribute band. ::)

What's your point?

Townshend has toured without Daltrey. Was that a Who tribute?

Were Jagger and Richards' solo jaunts Stones tributes?

Friday the 13th turned out to be a lucky day.

Everything went right - all the stars must have been aligned - and I came away with this really nice capture which I'm happy to share with Who fans everywhere.

Many thanks to toolrep1. Had he not contacted me, this never would have been filmed.

And on a more personal note:

I'd like to give a shout out to Mrs. Tapehead, who has unwaveringly supported me in all my taping (and recently filming) endeavors. She puts up with my running off to gigs, my endless techie talk, my spending hours in front of the computer. She's the perfect seatmate, doesn't mind not saying a word from start to finish, didn't get upset even when I got busted for videotaping. She's the first "other set of ears" after the show and helps me preview DVDs. She never EVER gives me a hard time about devoting so much time to my hobby. For that I thank you, Mrs. Tapehead! You're the best!

You have a PM .

Hey guys ~ I have no free time to post now but I am working on uploading the awesome videos and pics from the Nokia show to post and review later. I just wanted to step in and say that DALTREY started out the show by stating 'this is NOT a WHO show so dont expect to hear the Who' so I was surprised that they played so many Who songs. I guess Roger wanted to make it clear that the band isnt a Who replacement band. They sounded great, I took some cool pics and will post them when I have a few minutes. I'm in Nashville now, but have my laptop here. Country Music at the Ryman Auditorium and last night I took my son to see JOHN FOGERTY who also played Born on the Bayou and he did it 1000x better than Daltrey! I was shocked FOGERTY is in great shape and can really carry a tune and play at a very high level musically and energy-wise he is uo there with MICK!  

Fogerty kicks Daltry's ass always :smoking

Daltry?

" THE WHO AT THE SUPERBOWL
THE WHO TO PERFORM
FEBRUARY 7 DURING THE BRIDGESTONE
SUPER BOWL XLIV HALFTIME SHOW ON CBS

The Who will perform in the BRIDGESTONE SUPER BOWL XLIV HALFTIME SHOW on CBS Sports at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida on Sunday, February 7, the NFL announced today during halftime of the Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys game on CBS.

The Bridgestone Super Bowl halftime show is one of the most anticipated musical events of the year. More than 151 million viewers in the U.S. watched last year’s show.  The Super Bowl and halftime show will be broadcast worldwide in more than 230 countries and territories.  

The Who join an esteemed list of recent halftime acts that includes Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Prince, the Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney.

Few bands have had a more lasting impact on the rock era and the reverberating pop culture than The Who .  Emerging in the mid-1960s as a new and incendiary force in rock n' roll, their brash style and poignant storytelling garnered them one of music's most passionate followings, with the legendary foursome blazing a searing new template for rock, punk, and everything after.  Inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990, the band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, placing 27 top-forty singles in the United States and United Kingdom and earning 17 Top Ten albums, including the 1969 groundbreaking rock opera Tommy, 1971's pummeling Live At Leeds, 1973's Quadrophenia, 1978's Who Are You, and their most recently acclaimed Endless Wire, their first full length album of new material in nearly two decades.  Last year they became the first rock band ever to be awarded the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors.

Singer ROGER DALTREY, guitarist and songwriter PETE TOWNSHEND, The Who's two remaining original members, are once again being hailed as rock standard bearers.  Daltrey and Townshend debuted in 1964 with a trio of anthems--“I Can’t Explain,” “The Kids Are Alright” and “My Generation.” Since then they have delivered to the world hits such as “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,”  “Pinball Wizard,” Who Are You,” and,” You Better You Bet.” Unprecedented demand for their sold out trek across the globe, which began in 2007 and blazed up until the first half of 2009, reaffirmed their reputation as rock's most influential and robust performing artists.  

This year marks the third time the Bridgestone brand has sponsored the Super Bowl halftime show.  

The BRIDGESTONE SUPER BOWL XLIV HALFTIME SHOW is an NFL NETWORK PRODUCTION and will be executive produced by RICKY KIRSHNER and directed by HAMISH HAMILTON. "

I KNEW some of the men would be interested in seeing this pic! Most 'Ladies Rooms' are nothing special, but this was a really nice one! They say you can tell a quality of a restaurant/pub/venue by its rest rooms. If they are dirty, the kitchens are also dirty. The mind wonders, I've worked in restaurants where you wouldnt want to see what goes on in the klitchen! Once they dropped a piece of cake on the floor, picked it up, scraped off the side and served it. Another time a piece of meat was green so they cut off the bad part and served the 'good' side. They do this type of thing all the time in restaurants here in the US, and I imagine all over the world, which is why I prefer to eat at home.

Watching these videos demonstrates how important it is to just have some friggin FUN in life .

Roger is having a BLAST and is reminding all of us that Rock n' Roll should be FUN !!!

Somewhere along the way the Rolling Stones ( .... and Peter T .  ) have forgotten that one important fact . It is the same way with songwriting   ---- all Pete needs to do is relax , have some fun and write about fifty Lil' Ditties and throw them against the wall  ........ guaranteed that twelve good ones will stick and there you have the album . Word !!!!



JACKY !!!!!

Maybe Daltrey (sp correct) should think about doing an all instrumental show. :-[

" Maybe Daltrey (sp correct) should think about doing an all instrumental show. "

Pete's solo take of 'Drowned' makes it worth the scratch...

Groups protest Pete Townshend's Super Bowl appearance over child porn charge

Brownbill/AP
Pete Townshend of The Who. His appearance at the Super Bowl is being protested because of a child pornography charge.

Who's playing the Super Bowl half time show this season?

The Who were supposed to. But if a pair of watchdog groups have their way, that won't happen, according to ButlerReport.com.

The groups - Child AbuseWatch and Protect Our Children - are incensed that the NFL invited Pete Townshend's band to play February's halftime show, since the guitarist was a registered sex offender in the U.K. between 2003 and 2008. Townshend had to register for that five year period after admitting to breaking the law by searching for child pornography on his computer.

While Townshend may have copped to downloading the porn, he said it was part of research he was doing to help stop the practice.

The advocacy groups aren't appeased.

Protect Our Children has not only been protesting the NFL over the Who's inclusion in the Super Bowl. They've also contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Department about the issue.

They're calling on a clause in U.S. immigration law which allows authorities to deny entrance to the country to "aliens convicted of - and those who admit - having committed a crime involving moral turpitude."

POC's Kevin Gillick ranted to the ButlerReport, "how he (Townshend) has been given access to the U.S. remains a mystery or perhaps it's another demonstration of celebrity privilege."

According to the U.K.'s Guardian, the NFL has responded to the groups with a letter stating that Townshend never faced criminal charges in the matter.

Last year, Child AbuseWatch wrote to the organization behind the Kennedy Center Awards protesting their decision to honor Townshend and his band. The honor went through as planned.

The Superbowl takes place Feb. 7 in Miami.

Guess they weren't watching while Pete toured the US a few times since his 2003 legal matter...

The Who are obviously British.  In the British lexicon collective nouns such as pop groups are regarded as plural.  

Then why isn't the UK edition of the Who's first album titled "The Who Sing My Generation" instead of "Sings"?

This troubles me.

Saw a man about fifty or so
He looked lonely but his eyes were bright
He was walking up the Holland Park Road
And I stopped him to ask for a light
He practacally froze when I spoke
But eased when he saw my cigarette
Then I saw as he lit up my smoke
Beneath his coat he was naked and wet

With eyes full of shame
For he knew that I knew
He slumped to the wall with a moan
I said "I know there's no name
For what you go through
But how can you do it alone."

I crossed the street to the local newstore
Flicked through some cheap magazines
Beside me some schoolkid I saw
Push some girlie mags down into his jeans
The shop girl was watching amazed
Asked me to call for the police.
She screamed at his blushing young face
And he escaped into the streets.

With eyes full of shame [etc.]

Do it alone, how can you do it alone,
I need your help, so I can do it by myself.
Do it alone, don't have to breathe down a phone
I ain't got a clue, 'bout the things that you do
But how...can you do it alone.

How can you do it.

Back at the flat my girl sat in the shower
And wasn't too keen on me sharing
She came out well after an hour
And by that time I was past caring
Some women it seems have the knack
Of attaining that stars in their dreams
They simply relax and lay back
While people like us scratch our jeans.

With eyes full of shame
And I know it must show
I slump - and I fall and I groan
Will somebody explain
What I need to know
How can you do it alone.

How can you do it.

How can you do it without any help
How can you do it all by yourself.

" Some women it seems have the knack
Of attaining that stars in their dreams
They simply relax and lay back
While people like us scratch our jeans.

How can you do it ?

How can you do it without any help
How can you do it all by yourself "

The Who Reveals Super Bowl Set List
by Ray Waddell, Nashville and David J. Prince, N.Y. | January 25, 2010 3:00 EST

http://www.billboard.com/photos/stylus/103202-the_who_617_409.jpg

The Who's Pete Townshend, in an exclusive interview with Billboard, has revealed that the band's upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance will feature a "compact medley" of their signature classic-rock anthems.

"We're kinda doing a mashup of stuff," the guitarist tells Billboard. "A bit of 'Baba O'Riley,' a bit of 'Pinball Wizard,' a bit of the close of 'Tommy,' a bit of 'Who Are You,' and a bit of 'Won't Get Fooled Again.' It works -- it's quite a saga. A lot of the stuff that we do has that kind of celebratory vibe about it -- we've always tried to make music that allows the audience to go a bit wild if they want to. Hopefully it will hit the spot."

The annual Super Bowl half time concert has become one of rock's highest profile gigs, with U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Prince, the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney each taking the stage in recent years. The medley format is not unusual for artists with such a deep catalogue - Springsteen and Prince took a similar approach.

Speculation about the set, conceived this year by the band's Roger Daltrey along with Pete's brother Simon Townshend, executive producer Ricky Kirschner and new director Hamish Hamilton, is always of huge interest to fans, and last year online sportsbook Bodog took bets on the set's opening number.

If the past is any indicator, The Who's halftime hits medley will give the band a big sales boost. Last year, Bruce Springsteen used his appearance to mark the release of "Working On A Dream," which hit stores the week before the big game. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on the week culminating with Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 1, 2009), and stayed at No. 2 the following week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Billboard's full preview of the Who's Super Bowl performance, plus extended interviews with Townshend and Daltrey, will appear in the Jan. 30 issue of Billboard, and on Billboard.com starting Friday (Jan. 29).

Super Bowl XLIV, between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints, will be played Sunday, February 7 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

Not looking forward to their Soup Bowl gig, and I feel kinda sad about it maybe just that I don't dig The Who as much anymore?).

Much as I love Springsteen and Prince, those medley things sort of annoy me, especially considering they both have so much brilliant material that surely they could have made their marks with just two proper songs.

The Stones certainly did, even though the performances were (literally) phoned in (from the gig they were playing in Detroit that night, if I'm not mistaken. And even managed to get BOTH songs censored- "Rough Justice" and "Start Me Up"- ooooh!! Bad boys!)).

Macca played full songs, and I think Petty did, as did U2. It's sort of sends a signal that you're just a "legendary" oldies act when you play these abreiviated medley things. I imagine if the Stones had actually been at the gig and tried one of those, they would have fucked it up (they're still a traditional r n' r band, amazingly). U2, Springsteen and Prince are still all real, viable recording/touring outfits with "something to say", if you will- so I don't know why they opted for the mash-up approach.

The Who's Never Ending Tour Revue, on the other hand, are kind of the epitomy of the Legendary Old Guys Who Play Their Hits act, so the medley thing suits them more. But to recall just how much great stuff they have that gets trivialized a bit by blatantly consumerist business deals (bad TV shows, etc.), makes me sad (and irritated. And feel a bit older).

I'm sure the NFL has a say in what songs the halftime acts play. They want to squeeze the most out of those twelve minutes, hence the medleys and abbreviated versions of songs.

Save for the 'Endless Wire' tour a couple of years ago, The Who's setlist has been fairly static for a long time. Yesterday's announcement just confirmed the expected same old, same old.
And since CBS is broadcasting the game, the CSI Trilogy was already a lock.

The Stones performed three songs at the Super Bowl, not on tape from elsewhere.

Killer stage, btw...

They DID play at the Super Bowl? Damn, what am I thinking of where it was a satellite feed (some Grammys type show?).
And what was the third song? I only remember RJ and SMU...
But yeah, I know the NFL sorta dictates how they want the procedings to flow (the edited "Born to Run" was dumb, IMO, and "Working on a Dream" was gorgeous with the chior and all, but the song's short and sweet as is, plus it was new, should have played that one unedited. And yeah- I'm one of the 17 people who actually dig that song and album!).

Thanks for the info Left Shoe Shuffle.

'Satisfaction' was the third song.

The live-via-satellite thing you're thinking of was a couple of months earlier in Salt Lake City.
'Rain Fall Down' and 'It's Only Rock & Roll' were shown on the American Music Awards.

Thanks again LSS!

A medley? :interestingstuffronnie

What is the over/under on the number of f-bombs dropped by Pete?

will.i.am, Slash Remix The Who's 'My Generation' For Haiti Charity Single

A fresh remix of The Who's "My Generation" is coming to raise money for Haitian earthquake relief.

The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am tells Billboard.com that he was commissioned to remix the iconic 1965 rock anthem, which will air during the Super Bowl XLIV broadcast on Feb. 7 -- where the Who is performing at halftime -- and then go on sale via iTunes. "It's The Who, their song, and then I altered the lyric to fit my generation now and then have Slash on it," will.i.am says. "It was awesome. I loved that song way before this even came up, and talking to Pete Townshend on the phone is like, 'What?! I'm talking to Pete Townshend on the phone?!' That was awesome, being able to just hear their advice and everything. Those guys are just awesome."

The Who's Pete Townshend: The Super Bowl Q&A
by Ray Waddell | January 29, 2010 2:38 EST

http://www.billboard.com/photos/stylus/104887-pete-townshend-william-snyder.jpg

By taking the stage at the Super Bowl on Feb. 7, British rock legends The Who will play in front of the year's biggest TV audience. Billboard checks in with guitarist Pete Townshend about the gig, his friendship with singer Roger Daltrey, and what's next.

How did you and Roger Daltrey decide to play the Super Bowl halftime Show?

We thought about it quite hard. I think Roger was doubtful that we should do it this year. We played Australia last year in March and we were considering going on and doing some more touring, and quite a lot later on this year. And then I got quite engrossed in writing, and told Roger that I would probably need another year to write. So we cancelled plans for this year. We were going to play at Coachella, the New Orleans Jazz festival, we had all kinds of things planned, so I persuaded Roger we should do the Super Bowl to kick those events off. And then decided that I couldn't do that work later this year because I felt I had to continue to write. So this must have been on the cards for quite a long time, but I think we made a final decision to go ahead in October or something like that.

Most bands that play the Super Bowl use it as a platform to announce other projects.

That won't be the case with us, however. In a sense the Super Bowl is emblematic of where Roger and I are currently. We both have very different needs, we always have. My hearing trouble makes it quite difficult for me to work in a studio for long periods of time. I have to be quite careful not to work too much and not to tour too much.  I can still hear pretty well, I don't need a hearing aid to hear conversations and I can work with music. As I get older, I'm 65 next birthday, my hearing is naturally falling off with age, so I'm having to take great care.

This show, for us, is a an example of what he and I can do together, waving the Who flag, carrying the flag for the boomer generation, I suppose, just as Paul McCartney does, and a couple of other artists that have done it recently like Tom Petty and the Stones.

But it also marks kind of a watershed. The music industry is changing so much. Almost everything about my life as a writer and a performer is about four or five songs that I wrote in 1971. It's all about television, movies, commercials. When we go out and tour we don't play stadiums like the Rolling Stones or U2, we play arenas, and we don't always absolutely fill them to the brim. We do pretty well because we're quite good at what we do.

When we put out records we don't sell very many records, not that anybody does these days. But we are facing the same changes that everybody else is facing, so for us to be playing the Super Bowl at this point of our career -- two old guys standing on the crest of a wave and we don't know where that wave is going to crash next -- it's fabulous to be doing this show. I think it will help us decide what we are going to do next, what shape that will take, and whether we should just try and put out another record, whether we should do one of the fancy things I do on the side.

The Who's music seems to be everywhere these days.

I broke up the Who in 1981 -- we did a tour in '82 to say goodbye, we got back together in '89 to reminisce -- but I had that long period between 1982 and 1989 where all I did was work on some solo stuff. But I was also learning how to run my catalog, learning how to be a publisher, learning how to make money outside of making records and touring.

I developed quite a knack for it, and I was actually licensing songs for television, for commercials, for movies well before it was considered to be OK. I was one of the first artists to sit with journalists and answer to the idea that I was selling out a heritage and emotional catalog that didn't really belong to me -- that belonged to my fans, that argument.

So today I feel quite confident about the fact that when we do something like the Super Bowl or we do our shows, we do what we do very, very well -- which is to play live -- and it shines a light back on our work.

There's no question the licensing has broadened this band's appeal and shows these songs were built to last.

In actual fact, it may have turned out they were built to last but they were never intended to. What I felt that I was good at almost by accident was working to the brief that I picked up when I was a kid, which was just writing for the neighborhood.

Later, I started to look at a slightly different set of issues and values, but I never, ever strayed into the political. I don't quite know why -- I've always had an interest in politics and world affairs -- but I never allowed it to come into my work and I always fought very hard to prevent people from finding a political position in what I did. And the band were fairly apolitical as well. We saw ourselves almost like circus entertainers. Our function was to put on a show and make people happy, make them forget their troubles.

In a sense the function of doing the music was not that far away from the music of my father's generation. My father was a musician and he played post-war music, it was the fantasy of love lost and love maybe found again, that kind of thing. The war broke up marriages, love affairs, futures, and visions and dreams. All of the music of the immediate post-war years seemed to be devoted to restoring the possibility of that dream. Rock's function was very much to say "that's fine, you have your dreams, but [we] have to live in the reality of what we see as a very bleak landscape. We have no function. We have no reason for being. We can't see where we're going to go or how we're going to get there. We don't like what we've seen you guys doing for the last 200 years. How are we going to change it?" So the music there was about living in the present and losing yourself in the moment. Now that has changed. Boomers kind of hang on to that as a memory.

When I go back and listen to those songs, the Who songs in particular of the late '60s and early 70s, there was an aspiration in my writing to attune to the fact that what I could feel in he audience was -- I won't say religious -- but there was certainly a spiritual component to what people wanted their music to contain. There's definitely a higher call for the music now which is almost religious.  U2, for example, are hugely successful with songs about inner longing for freedom, ideas.

A song like "Baba O'Riley," with "we're all wasted," it just meant "we're all wasted" -- it didn't have the significance that it now has. What we fear is that in actual fact we have wasted an opportunity. I think I speak for my audience when I say that, I hope I do.

Talk about your relationship with Roger.

We've never hated each other in the way that the press has sometimes portrayed, but we've never found it easy to get on with each other. We've never socialized very much, and we still don't.

But what has emerged in the past 10 years, particularly with the death of [bassist] John Entwistle, which was the last big shock we went through, is a tremendously supportive friendship. Roger and I have become friends who can say we love each other, and at our age that's wonderful. I've known Roger since I was 11 years old.

What's your take on the latest Who "Greatest Hits" project that was released in December?

It's interesting because it's got a couple of the more recent songs on it. It's got "Real Good Looking Boy" from the EP we did in 2002, which is the last recording we made with John Entwhistle on bass. And its' got "It's Not Enough" from the last album we did together called "Endless Wire."

Normally 'Greatest Hits' give a sense that there's no continuum beyond "Emimence Front," I suppose, which is 1982, that there's this great void. It's really nice to be able to get a sense that when you listen to a record we are actually recording music that compares pretty well to what we did in the old days.

Are you satisfied with The Who's place in history?

We were lucky in a lot of ways. We hit the spot with our audience, particularly in America, in a way that was pretty accidental. I think I was really good at writing for the English working class boys in my early days, and when we started to work in America I think I got a little bit lost. I didn't really know what to write or how to write, and some of the big bands when we first went into American in 1966 or '67, were bands like Jimi Hendrix, who was writing about angels in the sky, the color purple; Cream, Crosby Stills & Nash -- the music at the time was quite romantic and quite drug-fueled.

The Who were just a hard drinking rock 'n roll band dealing with the kind of working class stuff that I think became the essence of what happened later on with Bruce Springsteen. Bruce used to come watch our band in the early days quite a lot. I'm not saying he was studying or copying, but there was definitely a resonance.

When the Who suddenly passed through events like Monterey Pop Festival or Woodstock, those things for us made us rather a romantic musical entity. Because we were so hard-working and so good on the road live, when we finally came up with a definitive album in "Who's Next," the timing was absolutely perfect for us. Songs like "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Riley" were written for a movie score for a movie that never ever got made in the shape of "Lifehouse." Those songs were not written for a specific audience, but they really seemed to hit the spot in the USA.

And strangely enough, "Quadrophenia," which is a piece about mods in London in the early '60s, has worked for several generations. That's the one piece that always surprises me when I talk to young people that hear it for the first time. They always say this is something that really reflects the way [they] feel about growing up.

What are you working on these days?

I'm working on a musical play called "Floss" about a girl who rides horses, whose husband is a retired musician. I've been working on it for a long time. First I wrote the story, then I wrote the book. It's about the idea that there is a tremendous feeling of fear today about the future and about our responsibility for the future, whether we're worried about global warming, our behavior as aggressors, or as guardians of world peace. The middle classes of America and Europe have taken this position almost that they have to make amends. They look at the future and they don't see any answers, and they don't see very much hope. In a sense, as an artist and a songwriter what I want to do is reflect some of that, but also to demonstrate that music has a function in all this.

I finished the story in November and I've written quite a lot of lyrics, and I've been doing demos since the beginning of December. I've done about 10 songs so far. Whether or not this will work as a Who project I don't know, but I'm pretty sure there are a few songs that I've done which Roger will enjoy singing. So there's a possibility we might be able to release some of the songs from the play as an album or an EP.

The whole 'child porn' thing is absolute garbage, as I understand it. Weren't all charges dropped (but Pete still had to register as an offender due to certain technicalities in the UK's laws)?

And didn't Townshend actually file a lawsuit against New Scotland Yard/Metropolitan Police? Anyone have any info on that?

Sirius XM Launches The Who Channel in Time for Super Bowl

With The Who set to take one of the biggest stages of their career this weekend during halftime of Super Bowl XLIV, Sirius Satellite Radio will celebrate the music of Townshend and Daltrey by launching a limited-run station called The Who Channel tomorrow. In its six-day run on satellite radio (it ends February 8th at noon), The Who Channel — located on XM Ch. 40 or Sirius Ch. 16 — will journey through five decades worth of Who music, from their 1965 debut to Tommy to Quadrophenia to Endless Wire. Plus, if by some chance your television breaks or you’re stuck in traffic and you can’t watch the Colts take on the Saints, The Who Channel will also provide a live broadcast of The Who’s halftime performance.

As Rolling Stone previously reported, Townshend let slip what songs will be a part of The Who’s halftime medley (”Baba O’Riley,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Tommy,” “Who Are You” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” — but we’ll still be tuning in this Sunday night as The Who rock Miami.

Stage Collapses At Stadium, 4 Injured
Portable Stage Crashes At Sun Life Stadium

POSTED: Wednesday, February 3, 2010
UPDATED: 9:43 am EST February 3, 2010

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- It was a frightening scene outside Sun Life Stadium Tuesday night when a portable stage came crashing down on the stadium grounds, just days before the Super Bowl is scheduled to be played there.

Four people were injured and two of the victims were airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

"I was pretty shocked, considering all the safety measures they have been taking out here," said worker Guillermo Pascual of Caulking & Waterproofing.

"I have been here for years and nothing has collapsed," said electrician Lamar Currey. "Everything we do is usually safe, so I am surprised anything collapsed."

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the incident on the northeast exterior corner of the stadium shortly after 8 p.m.

The victims were reportedly helping to set up a rehearsal stage for the Super Bowl halftime show when pieces used to construct a larger stage tipped over.

Construction crews working inside the stadium said it's been a busy week and things can get crazy at times.

"Something is going on every day -- every minute of the day. It's extremely busy," said worker Dave Lucken.

"It's kind of a madhouse. Everybody is getting ready for the game," Pascual said.

But crews said safety is their top priority.

"No matter what, you need a hard hat. No matter what, you need pants and boots on, no cut-off shirts, nothing to that affect," Pascual said.

"It's very safe," Lucken said. "We're very safety conscious."

Thanks Ade ....... I will have to look into that one ( always on the market for a great book ) .

It is amazing to watch as Roosevelt used his intuition ,  intellect , cunning and political skills in allowing
Stalin & the Russians to continue to absorb 90 Percent of the casualties in WWII year ... after year ... after year ........ until the Normandy Invasion    ( ... thus minimizing American casualities )  -- Of course the payoff was the Soviet Occupation of Eastern Europe but hey ,  .....  ain't war a bitch ?!

I highly , HIGHLY recommend Conrad Black's weighty tome on FDR .

Roosevelt and Churchill absolutely HAD to keep Stalin in the war , taking as many of the
casualties as they could safely expect him to endure ( .... without a Russian military collapse
or Stalin making a catastrophic separate peace with Hitler  )  , while they mounted an operation in
Europe that would convince Stalin the West would do its part to subdue Germany and enable
some Russian penetration of Europe .

......a wonderful read

Holy shit, Joey! You not be just a loveable moron (I, too, be a moron- but mayhaps not as lovable, dig), you be The Joey!!!

Looky here, man:
Haven't read Sir Max Hasting's Churchill book yet, but have read nearly all his other stuff.
Here is an add I've posted on several WWII sites concerning my dad's WWII memior:

Comments:
Hello all. My father, William L. Devitt, served as a 2nd lieutenant in E Co., 330th Infantry Regiment, 83rd Infantry Division, from August 1944 to January 1945, where he was severely wounded in the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), Jan. 3. The majority of his combat time was in the Hurtgen Forest campaign in Germany, late November to late December 1944. He recieved two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star, and has published a book on his experiences entitled "Shavetail: The Odyssey of an Infantry Lieutenant in World War II". It has received excellent reviews, notably from the US Army War College quarterly, "Parameters", as well as highly respected military historians Sir John Keegan and Sir Max Hastings (who used several passages from Shavetail and Mr. Devitt's picture in his 2004 best seller "Armagedon: The Battle for Germany"). My dad's book is for sale (soft-cover, many photos and maps) for $18 (US) and Mr. Devitt ("Bill", to all his friends) can be contacted at: [email protected]. Mr. Devitt will gladly sign the book if you'd like. Also, my dad would love to hear from any of his old comrades, or anyone, really, who has an interest in the 330th/83rd ID/Hurtgen campaign. He's still quite sharp and witty, and likes to talk (we are Irish, after all!). We- myself and two brothers- made the journey back to the Hurtgen with him in October of 2007, and he is currently working on a book about that momentous trip (my eldest brother has already completed his very moving account of the same trip, and is looking for a publisher). One particularily magical, and improbable, incident occured when we set out to find a house that my dad had assaulted in 1944 (and experienced an intense firefight at)in Untermaubach: we met the owner of the house- Countess von Spee, a member of the von Spee family (of the pocket battleship "Graff Spee" fame). As a young girl, she was there when my father's platoon attacked her family's large, beautiful, and castle-like ancestoral home, which had a small chapel attached to it, wherein she and many neighbors hid and prayed during the course of the battle. A lovely woman she is, and an such incredible twist of fate to meet her. Thanks, and all the best to all of you.

Yo- pleased to meet you, Joeyman. Cool as hell to see some historical and literary stuff on this here board!

Peaceonya!

Well that didn't suck too bad. But geez,nothing like doing your whole act at the press conference. What if that's better than the halftime show. Maybe they should stick to acoustic.

I watched it live on the NFL network, nice little gig. Roger had a hard time hitting some of the notes on Behind Blue Eyes. The interview afterwards was kind of funny. Roger said he understands if you add up the actual playing time during a game it comes out to about 11 minutes.

He said The Who were playing either 12 or 16 minutes, I forget, then Pete acting a little surprised at that bit of news said, "Maybe we should renegotiate our contract?"

When Generations Collide: The Who at the Super Bowl


By JOE LAPOINTE
Published: February 4, 2010

Minutes before, the two leaders of the Who held acoustic guitars for an expressive mini-concert that included “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Pinball Wizard” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”

“Meet the new boss. ... ” Daltrey sang, ending the final song by purposely leaving off the final line, “same as the old boss.”

Rock music at halftime is a Super Bowl ritual, and it sometimes features founding fathers from the 1960s British Invasion. Daltrey, who at age 65 is old enough to be Brett Favre’s father, smiled when someone reminded him that the Rolling Stones played this gig four years ago.

“I’m glad,” he said. “I just wish they were still out on the road like us.”

The Who will play for 12 minutes. Townshend observed that they will provide more sustained action than the football players.

Daltrey, in an interview with the NFL Network, marveled at how workers will put up and take down a full stage during a 20-minute halftime. “You should have sent your roadies to war,” he said. “The whole mess would be cleared up by now.”

It is curious that the Who would perform for a controlled entity like the N.F.L., which stresses a tightly scripted environment. If rock music had penalty flags, the Who in its earlier years often would have been charged with excessive celebration and dangerous play.

One famous episode came in 1967 (also on CBS in prime time on a Sunday) when a planned explosion on stage was more powerful than expected. A video clip of their appearance on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” is an artifact of an era often remembered for risk and experimentation.

It occurred the same year as the first Super Bowl. The YouTube clip first shows a stilted Tom Smothers awkwardly introducing the members of the band. Before a performance of “My Generation,” Smothers tells viewers “you’re going to be surprised what happens.”

That proved to be an understatement. The performance ends with destruction of their equipment — Townshend smashes his guitar into an amplifier — and several explosions. According to rock legend, the last one accidentally injured the band’s drummer, Keith Moon, and left Townshend with damaged hearing. The video shows Moon lying on stage and Daltrey tending to him.

An apparently befuddled Townshend then takes an acoustic guitar from Smothers and smashes it, too.

Worse than that was the stampede outside Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum on Dec. 3, 1979, when rushing fans tried to push through too few open doors for general admission seating. Eleven people died from suffocation in the crush. Two months ago, survivors and their descendants held a 30th anniversary memorial.

Ellen Dearing Betsch, 47, told The Cincinnati Enquirer that she became claustrophobic from the trauma.

“I just hope, so much, that people don’t forget what happened,” Betsch told The Enquirer, “so that other people won’t lose loved ones like this.”

Neither episode was mentioned during Thursday’s session, although one questioner alluded to past legal accusations against Townshend for viewing child pornography. Townshend said his full explanation could not be contained in a brief answer and that more details could be found on the Internet.

The band is scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl because it has played some of the Woodstock g-g-generation’s most iconic music. Much of the conversation Thursday meandered down memory lane.

Daltrey, asked about the filming of a Rolling Stones concert movie in 1968, recalled the Stones’ guitarist Brian Jones reeling through the final months of his troubled life. Townshend recalled from those film sessions the presence of the young Yoko Ono shortly after she and John Lennon got together.

“I’m one of the select Yoko Ono fans,” Townshend said. “I think she’s amazing.”

Jim Henke, chief curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, said in a telephone interview that the Who will be best remembered for its powerful sound and stage presence. The band was defined, he said, by Townshend’s windmill arm motions while playing his guitar as Daltrey swung the microphone like a lariat.

“They laid the groundwork for heavy metal, punk and power pop,” Henke said.

Moon, Henke added, might have been rock’s best drummer. Henke also mentioned the famous lyric line from “My Generation” in which Daltrey — in the character of a defiant adolescent — sang Townshend’s words “Hope I die before I get old.”

Moon died in 1978, at age 32
