Wesley Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know the music thread got closed so I don't know if this is... maybe... trimming the bum hair too close to the hole? But, who here is seeing The Who? On their little never-ending-until-another-band-member-dies tour? I'm off this Saturday but I don't even listen to them that much. Just to see what the fuss is about and to have a bit of fun. Anyone else been/going? P.S. If you're going to post saying, "The Who suck." Then just don't and maybe you'll save yourself some valuable time in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have tickets for them at Wembley on 26th June. Saw them twice last year. I love The Who and can't believe I actually got to see them let alone 3 times!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Seeing them tommorrow with my dad. Yeah, i'm going to a concert with my dad. But I don't care, it's The fucking Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm going to the KC Stadium tomorrow too. Got two tickets for £40. Not bad. I'm hoping its amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Damn... I was going to see them here in Portugal, but chickened out at the last minute and ended up regreting it. =S Tommy... is god incarcerated in musical form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stadium only holds about 7 people so I'm sure I'll bump into you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yet again another band I want to see don't bother coming up to Scotland. Scotland are notorious for having great crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah, so they were excellent. I can't believe they're over 60, they had so much energy on stage and they were performing so well. Oddly, one of the best parts of the show was the CGI and video clips used in the background, especially during Who Are You and the Elvis montage during Good Looking Boy was brilliant as well. I'll probably write a more detailed review after I get up (I'll have to go to sleep first :P), I'm still really pumped from the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is it the "who are you" video where it's the train journey in black and white? I love that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 I should be setting off to see them in a minute or two now. I don't even like them that much. It's more friend rock. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/41772-sufjan-pens-essay-on-friend-rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'm setting off in about an hour. Ordinary Boys supporting means that I'm in no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 The Who are in my Top 5 favourite bands, and I only have 2 of their CDs : The Ultimate Collection and Endless Wire. Will buy some of their earlier albums soon. I do adore Endless Wire, even tho around 40% of it, is just a repeat of the first half of the album. Enjoy the concert!

Wesley Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 There were some crazy people there. And a lot of walking about... I've never been to a stadium gig but is that normal? There was a constant stream of people walking away and then to the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 You know after the show, when they advertise you can buy a DVD and a CD of the show, does anyone remember the website you have to visit to do so? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Oh... I see. I'm planning to buy it for my girlfriend's dad because he took us and paid for out tickets and, although I tried, wouldn't take any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
