(1,245 posts)It was pretty damned good overall (esp. for I paid, which was 'free'), but Daltrey's voice didn't even hold up for half the show, and Townsend can BARELY sing any more at all. His brother does a way better Pete Townsend then he does. The musicianship though was top notch, they all seemed to be having fun (esp. Pete), and I had a great time.
They had cameos from Moon and Entwistle, the latter of which was mind-blowing ... Zack Starkey played drums along with a video of the Ox doing a bass solo during 5:15, I think it was from an 80's tour, and MAN ... I almost forgot how f***** amazing of a bassist that guy really was.
A few weeks earlier from the stage in Oakland Roger blamed his voice going out on all the pot smoke, so they had a sign up before our show saying 'No Smoking Please ... Roger's allergic to all smoke, and recommends brownies ' or something along those lines.
I was in Phoenix, where people at concerts are pretty boring in general, and tend to 'follow the rules', so this was the most 'smoke-free' concert (esp. for a 60's era rock band) I've ever seen, by far ... in this environment, given how quickly he was struggling to sing, Roger showed that he was pretty much full of shit with what he said in Oakland ... he just can't do 2 hour shows night after night anymore.
But MAN, does that guy look FANTASTIC for his age. I'm 22 years younger and I don't look half as good.
