Tom what a lonely crowd you are hanging out in. Vapor Trails is easily their best work in nearly 15 years.

Maybe there should be a "Save the Moderators/Fire the Moderators" contest. See which side can raise more money. :-)

This could prove extremely interesting...

Sorry folks, but I love the job the moderators are doing and they're here to stay. We are equal opportunity pisser offers. We whack 'em all.

Oh, really? Then how come the square dance callers still live?

Funny how you found your way to a thread hijacked by the Who.

I've seen threads get hijacked by worse. (Actually, I think Live At Leeds - the complete version - and Live At The Isle of Wight should be required listening for anyone who wants to know just how good the Who were when they were still in prime condition.)

"They" meaning that aggie dude and the others who were talking about wanting to ban you. And I stopped rebelling after high school.

Yes, you are right. However, you've seared an image into my brain that is next to impossible to remove.

For a second, I thought this was veering off into a discussion of some of the wackier conspiracy theories that have found their way to FR over the years. :-D

Good choices -- but I also like the Swansea ('76) and Charlton ('74) bootlegs.

Then again, I have what are probably some of THE most obscure Who boots known to mankind. Stuff like Oklahoma '68, various German shows from '72 & '75, Kentucky '82, Alabama '82, Noblesville, IN '97, etc. :-)

I wonder if there's a bootleg of the performance I saw the Who give in the summer of 1969, at Tanglewood in Massachussetts. It was a kind of Woodstock warmup - they shared top billing with the Jefferson Airplane, with B.B. King the opening performer. (That was the set that made a blues person out of me, by the way - I had gone to the show on a camp trip, I was pushing 14 at the time, and B.B. King hit me right in the heart with his music.) The Who played a rousing set from end to end, including the bulk of Tommy (they were already beginning to cut a few corners with it, along the lines of the version that appears on Isle of Wight), and much of the material that later turned up as the meat of the Leeds shows. Only later did I learn that Pete Townshend was suffering serious enough back trouble that the Who almost pulled out of Woodstock (he played the concert on painkillers), which was supposed to be the finale of their U.S. tour. (Considering the screwing the Who and others got, maybe they should have pulled out of Woodstock - the Who never saw a dime's worth of their promised fee for playing the festival.)

This thread seems to be well on the way to setting a record, as I prophesied earlier today,
with the aid of my official Joseph Smith urim and thummim.


This thread already appears to have surpassed the infamous Robert Drobot thread of a few months back, though I am not sure exactly how many posts above 700 that crazy thread was. Whatever, this is close, real close.

BUMP-A-ROONIE!
