Will he play "Atlantic City"?

― 5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 2 November 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago)

oh yeah, i think it's a lock he will play AC...much more appropriate and better known for a national audience. Good point!

― Iago Galdston, Friday, 2 November 2012 19:29 (twelve years ago)

hell play two of three of AC, sandy and my city of ruins

― max, Friday, 2 November 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago)

He'll plan an unnamed new song and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"?

― pretty even gender split (Eazy), Friday, 2 November 2012 22:33 (twelve years ago)

I am strangely up for this concert, probably because New York is an unbearably sad place right now....

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Saturday, 3 November 2012 00:01 (twelve years ago)

Hey, not bad! Thanks you nine people!

― Iago Galdston, Saturday, 3 November 2012 00:07 (twelve years ago)

Anyone watching this? Jimmy Fallon is sharing a stage with Springsteen. And Jimmy is the one singing.

― 5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 3 November 2012 00:24 (twelve years ago)

I am still in shock from Fallon. Just. Wow.

― Iago Galdston, Saturday, 3 November 2012 00:41 (twelve years ago)

Was it just me, or did Fallon just jump the shark (it really is an appropriate term for it) in terms of his always obnoxious musical aspirations?

― Iago Galdston, Saturday, 3 November 2012 01:03 (twelve years ago)

I feel bad for him. It seemed like confusion and no rehearsal. I can't imagine Jimmy Fallon demanding to sing instead of Billy Joel, Tyler or Springsteen (who was happy to just play guitar)

― kornrulez6969, Saturday, 3 November 2012 01:53 (twelve years ago)

All I saw was a three-man Aerosmith's "Dream On" w Tyler on throat and baby grand, Perry and Hamilton (who I at first mistook for Neil Young) on guitars--seemed good and appropriate (Dear battered New Yorkers, all Americans, Dreem Awn Dreem Aw-uhn, aiiieeee). Also got the end of Springteen's "This train/Got whores and gamblers", hooking up with "People Get Ready"!

― dow, Saturday, 3 November 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago)

(Fallon, the Roots and Aguilara sounded great together later on Late Night)

― dow, Saturday, 3 November 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago)

Tyler On Throat And Baby Grand is the jewel of the Aerosmith bootleg catalog imo

― some dude, Saturday, 3 November 2012 18:13 (twelve years ago)

Aguilera, that is, but yeah, Fallon should always be this selective of his musical opportunities.

― dow, Saturday, 3 November 2012 18:13 (twelve years ago)

I mean, he didn't have to do too much in that situation.

― dow, Saturday, 3 November 2012 18:21 (twelve years ago)

Fallon seemed a little too look-at-me-with-all-these-icons for a benefit concert, in particular when the partially visible hissy fit when his mike didn't work at the beginning and then jumping on Jon Stewart with this joyful grin as he ran off the stage. Inappropriate

― Iago Galdston, Saturday, 3 November 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago)

Bruce who? Willis??

― t**t, Saturday, 3 November 2012 22:15 (twelve years ago)

when he sings he's not Bruce, he's Bruno

Will he fall off the stage?

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 December 2012 02:39 (twelve years ago)

I'm disappointed that no one wrote a horrible "Sandy" song like everyone did for the 9/11 concert. The Who missing an opportunity to play "I am the Sea."

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 02:51 (twelve years ago)

Ladies and gentlemen, the Rolling Stones: the only band that gets skinnier the older it gets.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 02:53 (twelve years ago)

At least the Who are doing "Bell Boy" ("a beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real").

And not to be too spoilery, but the way they incorporate Moon into this actually kind of works.

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 02:56 (twelve years ago)

yea micks like 29 inch waist or w/e at almost 70 is o_O

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 December 2012 02:57 (twelve years ago)

just got home, turn on the TV and the Stones are on.

― Bee OK, Thursday, 13 December 2012 02:58 (twelve years ago)

Can't believe the Stones didn't do "Gimme Shelter."

― Gollum: "Hot, Ready and Smeagol!" (Phil D.), Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:00 (twelve years ago)

The current Who tour integrates the footage of Moon and Entwistle really well.

Can't believe the Stones only got two songs off! The Who has, like, six coming up, including a recent one.

jesus christ put ur cellphones in the air is really a lyric

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:13 (twelve years ago)

And that's what made me shut off the stream, "Put your cell phones in the aaiiiiiirrrrrr..."

Somewhere backstage Chris Martin is rewriting his banter.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:15 (twelve years ago)

there's a "put your motherfucking phones up" refrain on the new Ke$ha album

― some dude, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:18 (twelve years ago)

All the speeches about "that's what New Yorkers do!"...right, people in Omaha would fuckin' stand around and let people die.

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:20 (twelve years ago)

I didn't see anyone in Omaha helping when the hurricane hit. They were just there, in Omaha, watching.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:22 (twelve years ago)

seeing buscemi like this makes it amazing that hes believable as a lead actor on boardwalk empire

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:23 (twelve years ago)

NYC, man - the center of the world, magnified by being the media center of the world. It's like watching a telescope through another telescope pointed at a reflection of yourself in the mirror that's being broadcast on TV.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:24 (twelve years ago)

That Talk of the Town bit in the New Yorker about him and Michael Shannon was pretty great.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:24 (twelve years ago)

these fuckin guys

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:26 (twelve years ago)

Dude just broke Buscemi.

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:26 (twelve years ago)

the WHO, fuck yeah.

― Bee OK, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:27 (twelve years ago)

Simon is such a sonic ringer for his big bro.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:28 (twelve years ago)

FKN ROG AND PETE :D

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:29 (twelve years ago)

And Zak is such an awesome fit. The Who was so good when I saw them a couple of weeks ago.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:29 (twelve years ago)

YEah, saw them at MSG...and I daresay, Daltrey's sounding a bit better tonight!

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:29 (twelve years ago)

The genius thing about touring "Quadrophenia" is all the bits he doesn't have to sing. Saves the pipes.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:30 (twelve years ago)

And how in the fuck has Pete not torn his rotator cuff yet?

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:31 (twelve years ago)

He missed a vocal cue back there ...

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:32 (twelve years ago)

When I saw him he delegated much of his flashy playing to Simon.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:33 (twelve years ago)

So, like, are Pete and Rog, Mick and Keith and Ron, and Macca, all hanging out together backstage? I always wondered about the relationship between those cats.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:34 (twelve years ago)

that Keith Moon thing was completely awesome!

― Bee OK, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:39 (twelve years ago)

and i'm i seeing the Edge on stage as well?

― Bee OK, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:40 (twelve years ago)

So this might easily be the best set of the night, but I didn't turn on until after Bruce.

― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:40 (twelve years ago)

No, it's Pete's brother Simon. He's been in the Who's touring band on and off since 1996.

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:43 (twelve years ago)

think different arrangements of some of these (e.g. "Who Are You") would suit Daltrey's voice at this point

also wish Pete would sing more, how's his voice these days?

― Euler, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:44 (twelve years ago)

Better than Rog if those last 15 minutes have indicated anything

― Guy was knee-deep in water (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:45 (twelve years ago)

I think Roger's sounding good. Good for 68, good for not changing the pitch of any of the songs, good.

― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:49 (twelve years ago)

I turned off the streaming after seeing Daltrey's belly.

I turned on just after Bruce's set. Man Billy Joel gives me such a weird burst of nostalgia even though I pretty much can't stand him. My mom had his Greatest Hits double-disc thing was on near constant rotation for a few years.

I thought the jam was pretty good, considering the slapped together approach. They all seemed to be having a blast. I don't know, I guess H4A was expecting like an elegantly composed epic or something. I can get a kick out of just watching guys have a blast like that. And also lol @ H4A significantly undercutting the career of Pat Smear.

― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 13 December 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago)

Also, places like Pitchfork saying "watch Macca front Nirvana!" aren't doing any favors because that is so not what it was. It was three guys that were in Nirvana jamming with him on a completely unrelated tune. Its not like they were on stage shitting up "Heart Shaped Box" or w/e.

― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 13 December 2012 15:39 (twelve years ago)

yeah, that wasn't nirvana. just three guys that were in nirvana! no different than if mccartney was jammin with jason everman, chad channing and lori goldston.

tbh until the show I thought this was the plan. Had no idea they cobbled a tune together and Macca played guitar.

Nah, I want to say he played as much guitar as bass when I saw him last.

So, the soundtrack album will be out on the 18th, I got this info fro itunes.

There are no individual track details, apart from that all the tracks are labelled "Album Only"

SO, I guess you have to 'buy them all' if you want to get the PaulVarna track. I only note that as if it had been an individually available one, umm.. Xmas number one?

i dunno if this is known, did/does song Paul generally write songs on bass? or was it more often guitar or piano and then in the Beatles he'd mainly play bass on the recording/live performances?

― some dude, Friday, 14 December 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago)

Probably guitar or piano, though I can't cite a source. My reason for saying that: I do remember reading in Geoff Emerick's book that in the later years, the bass part was the very last thing recorded.

― WilliamC, Friday, 14 December 2012 22:47 (twelve years ago)

Well, when Stu quit, he wasn't that happy about having to be the bass guy, but George was clearly the better guitarist, and John was the lead singer at that point, so...

― Mark G, Friday, 14 December 2012 23:31 (twelve years ago)

Macca played guitar.

I don't think any of Townshend's contemporaries were nearly as adept at recording/engineering (to say nothing of Pete's instrumental prowess on many instruments). Hell, his first solo album (Who Came First) was all home demos, and didn't sound like "home demos."
