Re: Who's Better, Who's Best video

[Sroundtable@aol.com]

Just some thoughts.  I have the video (it was my first Who video).  The MG is 
fuckin great.  Pete playin the guitar with the mike stand is g-damn 
hilarious- and hitting the amp w/the guitar over his head.  I wish they would 
have shown the clip in its entirety to see them really go to town.

Not wild about the video lip-synch stuff- other than to get a look at them at 
incredibly young ages.  but one of these videos is enough.  The safe robbing 
thing for happy jack is kinda retarded, IMO.  

Totally agree on the abbrevaited Mag Bus.  Pissed me off, too, because pete 
has some great improvs in the other versions of that live that i've seen and 
heard.  And pete leaves OX hung out to dry on the background vocals too much 
and yes, he is also off.  YBYB video makes me puke- maybe cause i don't like 
that song- and the guys look so goofy with 80s hair.  Pete's mullet is awful 
and roger looks like someone's weird ass uncle.  

The ICSFM from smothers is good- good show from pete and constumes are cool- 
if ur into costumes (which i'm not).  Pete's footwork at the beginning of I'm 
Free is awesome- which makes me wonder why he didn't use it more.  The 
"hurdle slide," as i call it (for lack of a better term) is god-damn cool.  
SMFM may be the best thing I have ever seen out of a band live- period.  Pete 
is ridiculously spectacular both on guitar and vocally- Roger does his thing 
with this song- fuckin amazin- but Keith's drumming is what always floors me. 
 Anyone who states that Keith isn't the greatsest rock drummer of all-time 
has NOT seen this performance.  

I love the song Join together- but the lip synch video here with the music 
not matching the footage and the goofy going into the audience is kinda gay 
(no offense to any gay members on the list).  The studio shots of WAY are 
also kinda weird and gay- but the version of the song is good.  I like some 
of the vocal changes roger makes from the regular studio version.
