Endless Wire

 Heh, heh, I noticed my own cock-up.
 
 "Man In A Purple Dress" not "hat."
 
 Sorry.

     I'm not going to do a song-by-song breakdown. I played the DVD in order to 
get myself psyched up for it and then listened through it once, straight 
through, yesterday after I bought it (as I said, I got the version with the 
album and the 5-song DVD). 
 
 It's good to hear new music from Pete and Roger, together, unified in whatever 
fashion they're can ever be said to be unified. There are some really good 
moments on this album.
 
 And there are some weak moments. Pete should stay away from playing drums.
 
 It's a spotty record, like FACE DANCES and IT'S HARD. 
 
 But what's good is very, very good (despite the very noticeable lack of John 
Entwistle). The WIRE AND GLASS mini-opera is overall good.
 
 Best songs: "It's Not Enough," "Black Widow's Eyes," "Mirror Door," and "Man In 
A Purple Hat" (would love to have heard a full band version of it). MIKE POST 
THEME...I'll need to hear it again.
 
 To sum it up, it's better that there is a "Who" record than there not being 
one. 
 
 Now as to the DVD...it's a nice addition, but I'm not sure it now becomes a 
mandatory part of the Who canon. I spun it through twice...going off those 
recollections, it seemed a bit sloppy. For some reason, I'm finding myself less 
and less impressed with Zak. Has he become too comfortable?
