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.

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.

On "Water" at the 1970 Isle of Wight gig, at the 5:13 mark on the full stop right before the guitar solo, Moon bounces his right-hand stick off the snare, catches it with his left hand, passes the stick back to his right hand and doesn't miss a beat hitting the crash cymbal.

He was the greatest ever.

And The Ox was wearing that skeleton outfit looking completely bad ass.
