I love it! I know I’m probably repeating a few of the others but, this is amazing! So glad it was put together expertly. The band and their sound cannot be duplicated. Such a joy watching the snippets of each of them having fun, all while creating rock and roll magic! I too have watched it over and over. My wife said that song again? So I sat her down, told her the true story of how this autobiographical song came about, played the video, and now she’s a fan.

John Entwistle was misunderstood as being moody, but he wasn't.He was just extremely calm, chilled and mild mannered. 3 of them going mental on stage was enough, there really wasn't enough room for a 4th one doing that.

[@waltblackadar4690]

@@wlewisiii I love the Who and saw them live a few times. But Peart > Moon, even though both were perfect for their bands. Entwistle and Lee are pretty comparable (though I give the edge to Entwistle though many would say Geddy) as are Lifeson vs Townshend (where Townshend is a better musician and Alex the better pure guitar player). Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. I'd just say both bands were exceptionally talented.

[@hugejohnson5011]

​@@waltblackadar4690 "The Ox" was playing chords on the bass before anyone I can recall in rock or pop way, way back when. Listen to an isolated bass track on "The Real Me" to get how easily he cruised up and down the fingerboard, and bent notes. He made it sound so effortless and fluid, and it wasn't showing off, it's just that with only Pete's guitar to play against, he had the leeway to fill empty space with purpose. He was a good musician.
