am i alone in thinking that john's voice sounds like a perfect blend of pete's and roger's voices?
@ryancurtis19962 жыл бұрын
Not at all, I agree with that to extent. All of the songs he wrote for The Who have a flavor of Roger or Pete in the vocals, which I think is to match the bands “sounds”. He sounds much more unique within his solo work, my favorite album by him is too late the hero. Joe Walsh is guitar on that one. Maybe check it out if you like

Here is a funny story from this '79 tour concerning My Wife: As The Ox says, "we are changing it up from Boris this night". In New Haven, my friend had front seats right in front of Pete. According to him, "his brother kept asking for My Wife and they played it" "Yeah, right, whatever (lol). So, I get a copy of the concert on CD and I'm listening on headphones at work one day and sure enough, right before My Wife, Pete quietly goes to the mic and says, "we have a request from the front row for My Wife, so we're going to play it" Too funny - and impossible to hear without the headphones as we'd missed it for years.

I think Pete missed every single chord change, yet he still manages to recover immediately without completely losing it. That's the difference between Pete and John. John could play seamlessly through anything, because he was not only the best bass guitarist in rock history, he was also the most intuitive. Intuition is so very important during live performances.

I saw them in Detroit at the Masonic temple 11/29/1979 just before they went on the national stadium tour. they wanted to play a small theater before playing the sold out stadiums. Roger apologized about the sound because the equipment was meant for stadiums not a 4,000 seat theater. I was 17 years old an was in complete awe sitting 10 rows away. i found the audio of the concert on youtube and was amazed at the quality. i now understand why they wanted to do a small test concert before they hit the big stage. either way, what an experience for a young teenager!

He was brought backstage for stiches & repair LOL !
