The Who (Deluxe)

Just downloaded this album yesterday. I have to listen to it some more. It is listenable but it is not The Who. Pete is an excellent song writer and a great guitarist but if you listen to all their records I can't believe that you can not say the Who died with Keith Moon. John Entwistle's death put a stake through it's heart. This is the Pete Townsend Roger Daltrey group. Music has evolved but they have not. As Richard Thompson likes to say,"The Who, now they were art." If you ever saw them live you know how true this is. They were the Nine Inch Nails of their day. This record does not reflect that.

Who’s Next was my first album.
And think Magic Bus from Live at Leeds the best song ever, to blast.
Can still remember most of the lyrics to Tommy.

Finally managed to see them in 2009.
All I ever really wanted to see was Pete’s windmill. Left happy. And with a 13 min ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ I was in heaven.

Quite like Endless Wire, but listening to that is a totally different experience.

Will get to this new album before the New Year.
