Re: The 'oo (a little blues content!)
I agree with all that stuff except to say: 1) I didn't think the sound quality on the original album
(O.K. I only ever had the German pressing) was half-bad - it worked for me.... I always rate playing
way way above sound quality. Audiophiles ought to go out and get a musical life. Bootlegs have been
my creative food for guitar playing for years. And the Hiwatt/SG combo is more than just going out and
getting it. The original Hiwatt and SG were merely blank slates that a whole sound was modified into....
Don't be fooled by the physical setup.
2) I always liked Townshend's lead playing. He is actually much better today, but he only does decent runs at
the rave ups of songs now. I know is lead playing has always been underrated, but much of it is
inimitable.
