      What book??
      Like my old boss would talk about something and say " that's not right, in my book" . I finally asked him one day, where is this book? How come we have never seen this book?? I told him I don't think he even had a book, that he was making it all up. To this day he has yet to produce this book of his that he claims is full of things that "are or are not right".

    The Who formed in 1964 with their first hits “I Can’t Explain” and “My Generation” released in 1965, getting lots of airplay and TV coverage. “Eminence Front” was their last hit. In those 17 years they heavily shaped rock music. Pete with his power chords and experimentation with synthesizers. Keith with his “lead” drumming, and John Eintwhistle’s bass. His harmonics were incredible! They invented “power rock” and evolved greatly over the years, with Pete exploring and innovating. They heavily influenced rock, power pop, punk and grunge. I grew up hearing them innovate and evolve. Perhaps my favorite band ever.

    Never got to see The WHO, until this album was released in 1982, and it was an amazing event. This song was a big hit at the show, but "Sister Disco" got the biggest crowd reaction of the night. four Aircraft search lights in each corner of the arena lit up everything during the song, and everyone got in on the feeling."Eminence Front" is mostly Pete on the lead vocals and Roger is mostly strumming his rhythm guitar, and of course Bassist John Entwistle is crushing it. Saw The WHO twenty years later, just after Entwistle passed in a Las Vegas hotel room, like a rock star should.

    The Who has many great songs and helped pave the way for high production rock songs, but my favorites continue to be the early 70's live performances. At a perfect time of musical growth and youthful energy they played with a raw power that no other band at the time could match. Live at Leeds is one of the best live albums ever with one high powered banger after another. But it's not complete unless you can see them live. Check out Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight.

    John Entwistle was the guv'nor of bass players. He's just that good. And he was doing that style of upfront, aggressive yet melodic bass playing before anyone else. His playing had an edge. Any many cases it not only gave the music it's rhythm, but drove it as if he was behind the wheel. I honestly don't think it's that far from the truth that The Who were arguably THE most influential rock band of them all. When you listen to their music and break down their innovations, it's a thing of awe.

    I'll never forget hearing this at the Cotton Bowl in 1982. You wouldn't think a stadium could sound like a club with a tight, loud sound, but you could feel it in your chest in the middle of the field. The place was hopping. Townshend started the tour saying his operative word was "control". But friction was clearly in the air between Entwistle and Townshend that night. At the end of the last song, Townshend grabbed his guitar by the head and threw it at his back line. It flew end over end probably 25 feet and ended with a loud POP. That was a Saturday night. We started the weekend by seeing Devo on Friday night. Got up the next morning and drove to Dallas. Those were the days.

    The Who has been my favorite band since before middle school. I am old! My bff and I saw Tommy about ten times that summer which lead to listening to her mom's boyfriends Who albums. And that was that as they say.
    The Who, The Stones, you just can't go wrong. I followed along with your LZ adventures. There will never be another LZ.
    I am waiting patiently for you to get to another great band that I listen to all the time, Radiohead. Maybe some In Rainbows from the basement or TKOL from the basement. I would love to hear from an insider what is so distinct about their music, production wise, that just finds that spot in your brain that triggers something in your soul. It doesn't matter if I'm listening or watching and listening, my mind is just blown. Another group that will never be duplicated.

    Always liked the Who live Toronto 1982 same song Entwistle on bass ( rip) and Pete comes in with a sweet lead, very cool.

    You guys need to check out the Who, We Won't be Fooled again and Baba O'Reilly live at Shepperton Studios 1972. This was the Who when I saw them in the 70s. You won't be disappointed

    I remember when this came out. I was just starting high school. Played on the radio a lot.

    John Entwistle's nickname was "Thunderfingers." He was a big man who played the hell out of the bass. If you watch any videos of their live performances, you'll see that his facial expression was always blank, like he put no effort into playing the bass. It's like he was bored with being a badass.
