The Who - Paris , la Défense 2023 - Baba O'Riley - multicam - good sound

[@walterevans2118]

Wish JOHN was here to be part of this. In my humble opinion he was the most EFFORTLESSLY BRILLIANT ROCK BASSIST WHO EVER LIVED .

[@railwaystationmaster]

SPOT ON SIR.

[@walterevans2118]

@@railwaystationmaster The thing about John was not just his virtuosity but his MELODIC AWARENESS with counterpoint in the Who's music. If one remembers the original DEMOS that Pete Townshend recorded at his home of what became the Who's Next album in 1971 all the guitar cutting edge stuff is there in the Guitar & the basic spark is his but in the Demos just listen to the counter melodies that John ADDED to the mix to totally open up the songs as pieces of music. Basslines like BABA O REILLY or GOIN' MOBILE ...They are just EXTRAORDINARY pieces of fast but MELODIC Music. Pete Townshend astutely remarked that John made the bass sound like a BACH ORGAN with the dynamics John's hands were able to articulate on the fretboard....His hands could be so sensitive but also so powerful in ways that could articulate harmonics & emotion into the strings. Another player could play through his gear but they couldn't sound like JOHN...No way. As a kid in 1972 I remember buying the brilliant single JOIN TOGETHER (which is such an ORIGINAL UNUSUAL sound arrangement) & on the flip side was a LIVE version of the Who playing 'Baby Don't You Do It' & I remember hearing Johns playing on it & thinking -'WHAT the F*** IS THIS' ?? ....I'm not even sure if its a GUITAR...Because John could play GUITAR on Bass....As a 10 yr old kid I'd only heard TOTP Mickey Mouse chart pop bands...IMAGINE hearing someone of JOHN'S MUSICIANSHIP among that lot ? ...lol

[@ytzpilot]

I did see The Who back in the 80s when John was with them, what I appreciate what they are doing here is not try to recreate those tours from the 70s or 80s with John or Keith, they travel with an orchestra now and they are far more low key about it. If they we’re trying to recreate those old days it would be terrible, they are doing something else to honour the music and the memories in the final years they have left

[@walterevans2118]

@@ytzpilot yes. The WHO in their original form were just a TOTALLY UNIQUE BAND…Both a writers and musicians. Just astonishing.

[@walterevans2118]

@@ytzpilot I thought some of the recent compositions were damn good though. Particularly ‘All this Music Will Fade’….I can just imagine JOHN and KEITH being right up there with them PLAYING that LIVE and it being part of their classic stuff.

Roger Daltrey turned 79 this year. I can believe he still sings this way. Same applies to Pete Townshend, who's 78. I love the energy of these guys. Even though I don't like all the work they did throughout their carriers, I still admire them for the important contribution they brought to rock music. I usually hate to use big words, but these two men are legends to me.

[@davidf6326]

'Roger Daltrey turned 79 this year. I can believe he still sings this way. Same applies to Pete Townshend, who's 78. I love the energy of these guys' - you're being sarcastic, yes? They look and sound ridiculous. So sad to see them trying - and failing dismally - to recreate past glories. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXSxlol-q5iAosk

[@pennellomusic]

@@davidf6326 i'm not. These men still want to play music and you can clearly see that it is not just about business. I couldn't say the same about the Stones, for example. Daltrey and Townshend are giving it all on the stage. Of course it's not the same as it was, but man, they're almost 80, considering their ages, I think their voices are in still in good shape!

[@bwcbiz]

I can't believe he's using auto-tune. Forgiveable at their age, but you can hear the notes being forced on the chorus. Listen to the slides on their 1978 performance for comparison.

[@pennellomusic]

@@bwcbiz Honestly I can't hear the autotune anywhere, instead I clearly see where he is struggling and using head voice for avoiding to scratch in the highest notes. Would you provide me some example in the minutes? PS My favourite version of this song live is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6PYdX5retJ0opo The melodies of Daltrey are very close to this version, but it is mostly chest voice. And btw John Entwistle is killing in the version that I linked!

[@bwcbiz]

@@pennellomusic The version I'm comparing is this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/faaceZuPq5V2bac. And I have to say you're right it isn't auto-tune, but listen to "I fought for my meals. I get my back into my living." in the first verse. What I hear is that 2023 Daltrey is focusing on hitting the notes while the 1978 Daltrey is focused on the emotion of the lyric. Not really fair to compare performances 45 years apart, but it is what it is. Have to give them credit for having the balls to go on tour at ages 70+ and giving a respectable performance.

[@paulfox1210]

Saw the lads do this at Keele University early 1970s. It was their first number, the lights went down while the electro intro played then Roger & co slowly ambled on, took their places, lights came on and then Booom! Trouble is we were all seated on the floor and at the end offered fairly muted applause to which Pete went mad...shouting at us to get off out backsides and appreciate a new song! Hilarious looking back but it did the trick....esp when they started playing Tommy and all the hits etc. They are still the best live band I've ever seen. 🎸🎆

[@robthornton6288]

I, with my wife and younger daughter, saw them in Berlin on 20th June, and they were superb. The concert was in an outside amphitheatre and it wasn't dark enough when they were on stage, to benefit from the effects of the lighting as you obviously did in Paris. They're "getting on", but they can still rock/perform to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck 🤘 My daughter said after the concert, that she remembered EVERY single word of the Quadrophenia excerpts. When I asked how, she told me that when I used to drive her and her sister to school, it was the only thing I played in the car. Brainwashing does work 👍😂

[@nelson1953]

Your daughter surely has good memory too.

[@YouzTube99]

@robthornton6288 Similar situation with one of our grandsons. Our daughter is a Beatles fan and regularly listened to their music while driving. One day she realized her son was singing along and knew every lyric. He was about six at the time and is a third generation Beatles fan even as an adult.

[@paulfildes5489]

I was at the University of Leeds Refectory on Valentine's Day 14 February 1970 to see The Who....they recorded their 'Live At Leeds' album that night. The gig was pure, distilled power and the album was seen as one of the gold standards in live rock & roll...it certainly had a fury that no Who studio album achieved! That night their sprawling live versions of "My Generation" which included a massive dose of Tommy and "Magic Bus" were muscular, virtuosic and a hell of a lot of fun! A decade before punk rock emerged from the streets of New York and London, The Who were creating the blueprint. (The Ramones 'It's Alive' - recorded at the Rainbow on December 31, 1977 is another live classic). I remember images of Townshend strutting through London in his Union Jack flag suit, a walking, fast-talking, artist-rabble rouser writing hard, roaring anthems of discontent streaked with vulnerability. Anyone who missed the seventies, I’m truly sorry. Nothing compares, nothing.

waho, j'ai vécu trop longtemps. Voir des vieillards se trémousser devant une jeunette ce n'était pas exactement ce qui était prévu pour le rock. On m'avait dit à l'époque que tout ces groupes étaient les futurs Trenet qui nous faisait tant marrer. Je n'ai pas oublié cette prophétie.

[@beeftanen67]

hé oui, la vieillesse est un naufrage. Il fallait mieux les voir en 71 ! Mais eux comme Trenet (amusant comme comparaison) resteront dans l'histoire. C'est un peu ça qu'on vient voir, une part de l'Histoire. Surtout pour ceux qui n'ont pas eu la chance de les voir à l'époque

[@wernerpoeschl0510]

Katie Jacoby, not only a pleasure to the ears but also a pleasure for the eyes. And it seems Roger practiced quite a lot for this tour. I remember a few years ago I thought to myself that it might be best to retire because his singing wasn't what is used to be. But now his vocals sound so much better than then. Of course it's not what it used to be in the 70s but meanwhile he's in his late 70s and a lot of other singers of his time sound horrible at that age

[@alexp8764]

We're talking about capable musicians, who have been playing for years, not improvised people. the violinist could play with her eyes closed and with the instrument turned over, and upside down. It's not la boheme, or a piece of classical music, but we're talking about three notes counted in a rock song.
