My Ears are Bleeding Ecstasy (The Other Kind)

That was the most amazing concert I've seen... no question

Here's the gist of what I want to blog so I don't forget

The lead singer for the opening act, The Pretenders, was ambiguously hot. She could have been really old and wrinkly, but i couldn't tell

They were good, but no question the who were just too good

solo to who are you was particularly nice

wont get fooled again scream was the best ive heard save POSSIBLY the kids are alright

only way to tell if the songs over: does pete do the splits?

The keyboarder looked really apathetic no matter how crazy the band was. turns out it was actually the keyboard tech subbing for the keyboardist who's in England with his sick wife. pete asked the crowd to pray for him

The first song began on a differently fingered chord than usual, so i didnt recognize it until the 2nd chord: I Can't Explain. Each song was amazing, from that to The Seeker, which was in a slightly different rhythm, then Substitute, and the set list also included the following
Wire and Glass (Tea & Theatre was at the end), Tommy's Overture/Underture, Amazing Journey (after PBW), Pinball Wizard (1st encore), See Me Feel Me, a VERY long My Generation, WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN (Zak Starkey NAILED his drum fills), Baba O'Riley, which was probably the highlight of the show when it came on just after Wire & Glass, Man in a Purple Dress (Daltrey was standing on an amp the whole time, the rest of the band just kinda left cept Pete), WHO ARE YOU, which had some subpar synth but amazing guitar, You Better You Bet, which was awesome (introed with "this is a song i wrote for you" just as who are you was), Eminence Front, introed by "this is a song about people who think they're smarter than they really are," Real Good Lookin Boy, apparently about elvis and written by daltrey partially??!?!!, and Mike's Post Theme, about TV theme songs

This is crude info, but I just want it down. I'll polish it for ya later

Pete tried to spin his guitar in the air after Tea & Theatre, which was superb, and he couldn't quite get a hold of it. It fell and made an awful racket, but then the two standing together was all the more poignant. Pete threw a wad of guitar picks out to the crowd at the end, and as he left, he just said "you sad fuckers"
everyone laughed, and he just waved silently as he left, but one has to wonder just how much he truly meant it. people clamoring for GUITAR PICKS... still, i know i wouldve, and i hope he still loves his fans


If i had to review this concert, it would honestly be a 10/10 JUST because of the sheer amazingness of hearing the who...

Epic Poetry

So today has been overall pretty interesting. It was cold, I spent 2 hours writing a total of 7 lines of a play, and I have been cursing Zach Braff for being such a retard in Scrubs. Honestly!!! How can he not love Elliot!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! If you watch Grey's, it's not half as emotionally honest as Scrubs, where real people handle real problems, such as being locked away and taped up by a team of po'ed janitors or having people much more intelligent and attractive be madly in love with you. Personally, I think the second would be much less difficult, but that's just me.

New Who album out... finally. I'll get it if they put on a good show.

Marx brothers rule, ill fix this post later im busy

What I'm Listening to: The Ballad of Dwight Frye
What I'm Wearing: Nike Shirt and Cargo Shorts (and no retainer)
Mood: Finally listening to the song I'm addicted to-ish, PUMPED FOR THE WHO

Well... I'm going to see The Who live. That's right. THE rock n' roll band, live, in Dallas. It doesn't get any better than this (except if they had Moony and Ox). I've taken a look at their setlist, and it seems to be a great mix of classic Who and their newer tunes. They have some from Face Dances, their catalogue of classic singles, Who's Next, and even their new EP Wire and Glass. Hopefully the latter can hold a candle to the rest, lest I be bored at the concert and waste 15 bucks on their new cd.

Well right now, I've got to say, Love it to Death is a fracking kick-arse album. TBoDF is one of my new favorite songs. Sadly it's not too acclaimed despite its awesomeness. Basically, the Coop is a great artist, and the original band is just plain badarse. Plus, I read that they have one major blueprint as artists, one band whom they most want to be like. I'll give you a hint, it's the same as U2..... can you guess it????

THE WHO

Plain and simple: The Who are the first hard rock band, save possibly only (and I do mean only) The Kinks. That's all I have to say
