Artist: The Who

WE'RE ALL FORGIVEN! And who among us can't use a little forgiveness! (On the other hand, look what happened to Gandhi!)

The Gaslight Anthem covers "Baba O'Riley" by The Who during their holiday show in Asbury Park, NJ back on December 9, 2011.

The New Brunswick group post professionally filmed clip from their Asbury Park Convention Hall show.

QUADROPHENIA THE WHO (Inglaterra) Edição original: Track/Polydor Produtor(es): The Who, Kit Lambert discogs allmusic wikipedia E eis os The Who, um dos grupos mais (sobre)valorizados dos anos 90, com o seu álbum mais ambicioso, "Quadrophenia", segunda ópera rock de um grupo que nesta ideia foi pioneiro (a primeira havia sido "Tommy", de 1969).

So it was the summer between high school and college and I was a full on drug and punk freak. Things were going OK- I had my college plans (far far away from home) and I had a bit of money through my gas station job. I was going to go to party in the neighborhood and meet my "girlfriend" ("Girlfriend" with the quotes because I hadn't fornicated with her. I had met her at a Ramones concert and made out with her- whats better then locking lips during "She's The One"). I still remember the taste of [...]

"You look different," Paloma said. As I had done nothing new with my hair, I countered her comment with a quizzical, gape-jawed stare. "You're standing up." It was true. I was vertical as opposed to the horizontal posture I had been prone to adopt for much of the past week as the result of sharing my immune system with some miserable, little bug. And several times during the week, too enfeebled with fever to do more than slump on the couch, too weary from coughing fits to even turn my head [...]

I happened to be reading a comparison of the worst holiday seasons based on a number of economic factors since the Great Depression and, according to this study, 1982 was the bleakest Christmas of the past eighty years. At the time, I was fourteen and blissfully unaffected by unemployment rates that exceeded those of recent vintage. Our small town was home to the headquarters for two industry-leading corporations. There were six very wealthy families, six poor ones, and everyone else resided solidly in the middle class. (really, there once was a socio-economic stratum called [...]

During my twenties, I put my college degree to good use working in a large record store. There was a row of small stores near, the closest of which had a revolving door of tenants. One day, it was a jeweler; the next day, a head shop. In one of its incarnations, it reopened as a clothing store, a small boutique favoring vintage stuff from the '60s, threads that might have been worn in Swingin' London. As the world had finally caught up to my sartorial sensibilities with grunge, I had little reason to [...]

Next week kicks off my annual year-end countdowns. Top 20 Albums and Top 50 Singles, here we come! But first, I've got a week-long countdown to my countdown, starting with this requested feature on Christmas music! While Christmas is definitely one of my most favorite times of the year, when it comes to music I'm more of a Halloween songs kind of guy. Still, there are quite a few of lesser known tracks that I love to listen to around the holidays. Here, in no particular order, are a few of them: [...]

New Jersey's Gaslight Anthem owe a huge debt of influence to The Boss. You can practically hear in their music. During the band's holiday show in Asbury Park, NJ on December 9th, none other than Bruce Springsteen stopped by to join the band on their tune "America Slang." By my account, these are the two best things to come out of New Jersey, musically speaking of course, in a long time. Along with Titus Andronicus. Actually, Dirty Jersey has a strong musical legacy. I take back everything I ever said about the state. As [...]

Pochi giorni fa ci siamo occupati di "Tommy" in occasione della scomparsa del regista inglese Ken Russel . Ora il nome del disco degli Who si lega ad un'altra notizia che emozionerà i fans della band britannica: Roger Daltrey , cantante della band, ha annunciato infatti la sua intenzione di proporre un tour europeo nel quale eseguirà dal vivo dall'inizio alla fine la leggendaria opera rock un'impresa mai portata in scena nemmeno dagli Who medesimi. In questi concerti oltre ai pezzi di Tommy si [...]

Filed under: News , R.I.P. David Levenson, Hulton Archive/Getty Images Ken Russell , the prominent and envelope-pushing director of the Who 's rock opera ' Tommy ' has passed away at the age of 84. The Wrap reports that the filmmaker died in his sleep on Sunday, Nov. 28. "Among many achievements that spring to mind, he made British cinema less insular and self-referential," critic Norman Lebrecht wrote of Russell's passing [...]

A fine, if slightly flawed re-examining of what is arguably the Who's greatest album.
