Musical palate cleanser, rock ‘n’ roll stutter edition

Let’s do a little shaking this morning, with the Who’s Live at Leeds version of “My Generation”.

As a bonus, here’s Entwistle’s bass from that, isolated in all its glory.

    I saw The Who twice in concert in Atlanta. I always loved watching John just chill out on his bass while Pete and Roger went wild on the stage. Not to mention how wild Keith Moon was….

      Indeed, it was something to behold.

      That said, I’m still looking forward to the Atlanta date coming up. Pino and Zach may not be John and Keith, but who could be? They’re certainly phenomenal in their own right. And there’s just something about being in same room as Pete and Roger that still blows my mind.

      Live at Leeds was one of the first albums I ever bought. Good memories. I had not heard the isolated track – thanks Senator!

    The Who might just be my all-time favorite band, and The Ox was an incredible bassist, but when I was learning to play bass I couldn’t listen to him or anybody else that played “lead bass.” Unless you are an extremely talented musician, bass lines are best left to meshing with the kick drum, establishing the groove and providing a connection between harmony and rhythm. That said, an elite bassist can add an extra dimension to a song.

      I think Kenney Jones was better than Phill Collins and Keith Moon. I know thats prolly blasphemy and might be terrible to say but they were all great drummers

        I loved Jones’ work with The Faces, but he was definitely a step down from Moon when he joined The Who.

          Yeah probably so it’s controversial but Moon was unique but had a destructive behavior hell we all do sometimes I guess but yeah The Faces Jones was fucking good and was good with The Who

          Yeah, I agree Senator. Jones’ work with The Faces was awesome, but he didn’t mesh with the Who like Moonie did. It’s a different band without Moon back there. Glad I got to see him.

          But this really illustrates how it’s the people in the band and how they relate that makes a band good or bad. It’s rare for the “superstar” lineups to be really great.

            You actually got to see Keith Moon. WOW That’s fucking awesome. Wish I would have saw him on the drums live. Thanks for sharing that.

    The Who are/were a great live band! The Ox rules.
    I also love another stuttering song – “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”.

    “My Gen” was one of the first Who songs I heard, along with “Happy Jack” and “I Can See For Miles”. I’ve seen them twice – once at Woodstock, and then, much more recently, performing Quadrophenia at the Infinite Energy Center a few years ago.
