Re: Jody WHO?



Rich, re:

>Awhile ago some people on this list argued persuasively that the reason John
stands where he does with The Who or with his own band is so that he can see
the drummer clearly and thus form an interactive rhythm section.  He probably
couldn't see Jody during the '89 shows, which would support your view that he
probablly considered her superfluous. 

I think she may have been placed to "the other side" of Simon, not because
John didn't "like" her there, but so that he had a clearer, less distracting
view of Simon.

>> I did find it interesting that Roger used her for his NY DST shows but
that Pete hadn't for his PsychoD shows there (and if I recall correctly, Pete
brought her into the extended and at times disfunctional "Who family" on
Chinese Eyes).

You can see her on the "Slit Skirts" video in probably what you'd call her
first "Who appearance"... Roger (like me) likes a LOT of drums coming from
the stage. Hard to say about Pete's '93 tour, but perhaps she wasn't
available or Pete didn't want the extra drums for what he was doing. She did
play at The Who Fest, though...
