I was gonna say, who knew Abbie Hoffman looked like a doctor or lawyer on the weekend???!! Good catch!
The Who is better than Chicago, I will grant you. But I would put Terry Kath in the Top Five All-Time rock guitarists.
Or you could just look for it on youtube.
IMHO 1970 Isle of Wight was a much better performance than Woodstock. That version of “Young Man Blues” is much better than even the Live at Leeds version.
OX CAM: Isolated video and audio - Won't Get Fooled Again at Shepperton. Brilliant, bloody brilliant.
“Chicago Transit Authority” was fantastic...all downhill when they changed to just “Chicago.” It was never the same after that.
Chicago V is my favorite, ok I eventually got tired of “Saturday In the Park”, but the rest of the album is fantastic, especially “A Hit By Varese”.
As an emerging young poet in the mid-1960s, Sinclair took on the role of manager for the Detroit rock band MC5. The band's politically charged music and its Yippie core audience dovetailed with Sinclair's own radical development. In 1968, while still working with the band, he conspicuously served as a founding member of the White Panther Party, a militantly anti-racist socialist group and counterpart of the Black Panthers.
Arrested for possession of marijuana in 1969, Sinclair was given ten years in prison. The sentence was criticized by many as unduly harsh, and it galvanized a noisy protest movement led by prominent figures of the 1960s counterculture. Sinclair was eventually freed in December 1971, but he remained in litigation – his case against the government for illegal domestic surveillance was successfully pleaded to the US Supreme Court in United States v. U.S. District Court (1972).
I was just watching the AXS special on the making of “Who’s Next” last night. I love the Who, and this is just one of many reasons why. This is how all loudmouthed leftists who forget their manners should be treated.
Since you have “DFW” in your name, I wonder if you’ve ever heard Bo Roberts’ (mornings, 92.5-FM in Dallas) play the tape he has of the Who doing a medley of their songs? It sounds like it’s circa the “Live At Leeds” period, with the same sort of raw edge and improvisation, only cut in a studio, maybe a live appearance on the BBC or something. It’s absolutely incredible. Listening to that makes you realize just how talent-deficient most of today’s “music stars” really are.
Underrated album, really other than the title track nothing else on that album got a lot of airplay, I think “Music Must Change” is a great song.
That title would go to the Rolling Stones.
Ooohhh...it could be construed as a Chicago reference. Very much my bad. For penance, I shall now go listen to Quadrophenia. Very loud.
Phew, been a long time I’ve listened to music on the radio, as I’m a P1.*
*That’s a listener of “The Ticket”, the local sports radio station here in DFW.
Too bad Pete didn’t have better aim and force
He shoulda destroyed zHoffman instead if his guitar
I think The Who was a better stage band.
Remember “The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus”, everybody admits the highlight of it was The Who doing “A Quick One While He’s Away”
Wasn’t John Lennon in/around that mix of retards as well? Seems like I read that somewhere.
No one beats the Stones. Hit after hit after hit.
I’ve listened to a lot of Pete Townshend demos, it’s amazing how high quality the demos are, in some cases I like them more than the finished product.
Tough band to beat
