The Greatest Rock Band in History Is: Perhaps the Beatles... for me, at this time, the Who may be a close second. That Terry Taylor fella is pretty cool too...

Posted by dennis on 01-23-2008 at20:18:

Thumb Up!

Love The Beatles and The Who!

I agree! "Revolver" is the best album, ever! Cool

Posted by Matt K on 01-23-2008 at20:47:

It sure is. Sgt Pepper is a great record and a lot of people hold it in high regards, but the psychedelia dates it a bit. I remember the first time I listened to Revolver... I think I was 14... I remember getting the distinct feeling that my life had changed........ or something to that effect.

Same way here. I prefer Revolver (and The White Album too) over Sgt Pepper. Both of those records have a timeless quality that Sgt Pepper does not have. Perhaps too many bands were "inspired" by Sgt Pepper in the 60's, so that the record sounds a bit more clichéd than the other two records.

Beck's "Mellow Gold" seems to have suffered from the same problem.

I picked this up today.

Posted by THX1136 on 01-24-2008 at20:01:

Matt and Dennis: I would suspect you both enjoy the performance of A Quick One, Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again from The Kids Are Alright - yes, no, maybe. After watching any of those it makes me long to be back in a band again. Aside from Revolver A Hard Days' Night is a favorite too. It has an energy that appeals to me.

You are correct Sir!

Posted by Matt K on 01-25-2008 at12:14:

I have not yet seen the kids are alright, but I have seen those live performances you are speaking of. I did recieve the "amazing journey" doc for christmas. Good stuff, but the interviews with some of the other celebrities bother me for some reason. (Particuliarly Noel Gallagher)

I have been incredibly fascinated with Moon's drumming style. Incredibly unique!

Posted by dennis on 01-25-2008 at12:32:

Thumb Up!

Run, do not walk.

Buy the Kids are alright! It is a must for any Who fan.

On the Double DVD set, you can watch the Ox play bass and tune out the rest of the band.

Very cool! Cool

Posted by Matt K on 01-25-2008 at12:48:

No kidding...! Now, I have seen videos online of Entwistle playing "Baba O Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" with the rest of the band muted out, does the DVD have more tunes in that fashion?

Posted by dennis on 01-25-2008 at15:57:

No, that's pretty much it.

Still a very cool movie, fun to watch over and over. Cool

Posted by THX1136 on 01-25-2008 at17:39:

Matt, would Amazing Journey be worth buying in your estimation? What Dennis said about TKAA is on the mark. Excellent film. I just wish there was a bit more of Entwistle interview wise. Obviously Pete is featured the most. I was fortunate enough to see the Who in 76 before Keith died and they were great. Toots and the Maytels opened and I felt sorry for them. The audience was not into the reggae they did as you can imagine.

Posted by dennis on 01-25-2008 at17:44:

I wish there was more of Entwistle too.

I also am curious about the Amazing Journey.

Posted by Matt K on 01-26-2008 at09:27:

I would say it is worth buying, yes.

Basicly it's a lot like the Beatles Anthology going back to the childhood days (cue black and white photos with a Glen Miller tune playing in the background) to the birth of the band right to the present. There's quite a few good concert clips, and some great stories. As I mentioned earlier the celebrity interviews are kinda silly (Sting, Eddie Vedder, Noel Gallagher) they pretty much all say the same thing.... "Man, that band is soo effing awesome. I effing love their effing music, great effing musicianship etc etc etc". My favorite quote was from Noel, to the effect of:

"Man, what the eff was up with Entwistle's skeleton costume? I mean, what the eff was up with that?"

What's really cool is the 2nd disc which contains a full concert of the band when they were known as "The High Numbers." Very very very cool and historical footage.

The Best Buy version comes with a 3rd disc containing a concert recorded in 1979 but I have yet to watch that one.

As a disclaimer however, I haven't yet seen the Kids are Alright doc, so the Amazing Journey might all out suck compared to TKAA.
