  12. On June 27, 2002: #JohnEntwistle, English rock bassist ( #TheWho - "Boris The Spider"), died in his sleep of a cocaine fueled heart attack in his Las Vegas hotel room at 57.
    #RIP 🕊️🪦🎚️🕯️

  13. "You Better You Bet" is a song by the English #rock band #theWho, appearing as the first track on their ninth studio album #FaceDances (1981). It is sung by frontman #RogerDaltrey with backing vocals from #PeteTownshend and bassist #JohnEntwistle. "You Better You Bet" became a hit and one of the Who's most recognizable songs. It was the last single by the band that reached the top 20 on the #Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 18.

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  19. Who?

    Last Thursday I grabbed a last minute ticket to see the second to last date of The Who’s farewell tour, The Song is Over, at Climate Pledge Arena. I had thought about going with my dad but since he was out of town and I knew this would be a last chance to ever see them live, I decided to go.

    I had often heard a few of their hits on regular rotation as a kid listening to my dad’s usual classic rock radio station selection in the car, but it wasn’t until the mid-2000s and Radio Paradise that I found I really liked Quadrophenia and the whole rock opera concept in general.

    The show rocked. Obviously Daltrey and Townsend are quite old (in their 80s!) and don’t have their younger voices anymore but it was still great. It’s wild to imagine a current touring artist like Taylor Swift touring in 2070 when she’d be their age. I think I brought down the average age of the audience quite a bit, although I am at least past the Grey Line. The Times felt similarly.

    I’ve gotten used to being the masking odd one out at work and most other public places, but I’m always surprised how few people use ear protection at concerts. I used Andrle’s Loop earplugs since I didn’t want to look like I wasn’t listening to concert while using AirPods in noise canceling mode, Marco-style.

    I’ll try to upload some longer videos after I fix my WordPress setup.

    The Real MeTownsend can still pinwheelFarewell from the crowd

    I had never heard of the Seattle-local opener, Candlebox, but they brought a grungy hard rock sound that I enjoyed. Unfortunately the crowd was still filing in so they didn’t get a ton of the sought for audience interaction.

  26. New #review today: "#JohnEntwistle’s bass playing was integral to the music of #TheWho, but he was only responsible for writing a handful of the group’s songs. But some of those songs were among the most memorable in The Who’s catalog, and were staples of their live shows. Sing Wistle Tunes is an homage to Entwistle’s songwriting, featuring 17 tracks done by #ExNorwegian along with various guests." #ExposeOnline #ClassicRock #PsychedelicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/
