BEHIND BLUE EYES

["Seth T" <thewhofan@hotmail.com>]

     I Can't say that I am completely tired of Behind Blue Eyes But then 
again most of you have been hearing it for the last 29 years and for me 
about 2 years.....either way. I think my favorite version Of Behind Blue 
Eyes I have heard is the one on THE WHO THIRTY YEARS OF MAXIMUM R&B LIVE.   
I think its from the concert for Kampuchea, 1979

   And I Like the versionor is there two?? on Lifehouse..anyway I like them 
a lot .

Mark,

Yes, BBE has never been one of my favorites.  It has been done over &
over & over......IMO, the best thing about the song is Moonie's drums on
the studio version (the way he swirls around the beat, holds tension, re-
leases tension, etc.  Just wonderful).  But yes, get rid of it.  No more !
And you're right, get rid of BABA & WGFA (yeah, right), too !

And enough of "Drowned," also.  I know some of you may object, but there's
plenty 'a sweet pickin's from QUAD that are getting the shaft.  "I'm One"
would be nice to hear as a five-piece.  They could play that, skip BBE &
no one would be the wiser !

 > yet another version of Pinball Wizard etc.

Get rid of it !

I haven't even ordered it yet.  I'm waiting for the dust to settle.

Yes, with Roger's "weathered" sounding vocals these days, those songs might
come off pretty damn well.

You're right.  My statement was too broad. (insert "broad" joke here)
