If the drummer is too loud, that’s on the sound engineer. Crank up the volume to his earbuds - the louder he plays, the more his head hurts. That’ll get him to ease up and play at the proper volume.

“If the drummer is too loud, that’s on the sound engineer”

Yep, and I suspect there is more to the story. I can conceivably see Daltry was more irritated at the Sound Engineer, Zac took it personally and told Daltry to piss off and he was gone.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

“But then they got fat,complacent and began to believe their own press releases.”

Yep. They shot their wad with “Quadrophrenia”. One or two good songs on “By Numbers” and none on “Who Are You”. They should have hung it up there after Moon died.

Kool! I wish I could remember stuff like that, however, I have been reassured by my friends who witnessed my late 60’s and early 70’s antics, that I did have one heck of a good time.

Ha ha. I only remember bits and pieces of stuff. My BIL remembers people we played softball with 40 years ago.
