Not bad for some old geezers, they still rocked although there were some old fogeys at the party who thought they sucked. Personally I thought they still rock OK.
I wonder what was up with the stack of Fedners behind Pete? Where's all of the Hiwatts??! ;)
I got the answer
Petes stack consists of one Vibro-King combo on top of one Fender Vibro-King 212 speaker cabinet. He uses one or two stacks (depending on venue size) as the primary amplifier rig, with one or two stacks as backup, powered on and set up behind the primary amplifier(s). Then there is a third rig offstage for troubleshooting. All signals are passed through a Pete Cornish Custom Design piezo/magnetic splitter (Pete Townshend s/n 0602, built August 2006):
I thought it was okay except when Pete was singing. His voice is done. A few times he came in on backing vocals and it was just ugly. Also, that scream that Daltrey did on Baba O'Riley... I am positive that was sampled. It was way too perfect, considering how much trouble Daltrey was having with high notes throughout. And I noticed the camera didn't even show him for that.
The drummer, Ringo's kid, was a badass. I loves me the big cymbals and he had some real pounding going up there.
I thought it was really good also, except for the vocals. And yeah, drummer kicked butt.
The fuckin Who? ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sorry.
I took it for what it was and thought it was overall pretty decent. A little overdub here, and there..lol. But hell....these guys aren't 30 years old anymore. But they wrote 2 of my all time favorite songs of all time, and can still rock out an arena.
I give them 2 thumbs up. Sometimes you gotta respeK the older guys who (no pun intended) are still kicking it out. The windmill never gets old :)
Let's see... It's really only an American sport yet they get U2, the Rolling Stones and the Who as half-time entertainment for the biggest game of the season? :-? Ohhhhhh Kay then. ::)
