BTTB, favourite lyric, etc...

["Sharon and Benjamin" <bubu@idirect.com>]

Hey all.  Wanted to throw my two cents in today.

 I was finally rewarded yesterday after 26 days of nail biting agony with my
BTTB CD's.  So nice it was to hear the boys perform the way they were meant
to, as themselves (plus Rabbit).  A lot of gems on this compilation, rare
stuff played to perfection (Pure and Easy, Gettin' In Tune).  Kudos to young
Zak who in my humble opinion gets a 9 out of 10 on the Keith Moon drumming
scale (1 point deducted for not actually being Keith!).  Well done Zak!
Takes a load of balls to play with this group and you done good!  I'm not
sure why everyone said Entwistle was mixed too low.  He sounded unreal to
me.  I could hear every note he played.  Perhaps it has to do with my
Sub-woofer.  If you are missing one single note played by the master
bassist, I humbly recommend investing in the sub.  Brings out the bass quite
nicely!  5:15?  Wow!!!!!

A while back I read some interesting notes from you lot about various live
Who recordings released throughout the years.  Not liking Who's Last for
this reason, not liking Join Together for that reason.  Bollocks!!!  Any
live Who is great Who!  Always remember that.  These albums are
representative of periods of time the greatest of all rock bands has been
through.  I have some bootlegs from the mid-60's that sound "flippin' lousy"
but it's still The Who and no one can take that away from me.  I've recently
been bulking up on some bootlegs and no matter what, I take it for what it
is (Behind Blue Eyes, Baba O'Riley, WGFA on every one).  I welcome more
commercial releases, no matter what songs are on them.

Finally, with regard to MY favourite PT lyric, I would have to choose the
following.  Every time I hear it played, it's my wife's face that comes to
mind.  I only wish SHE shared the same passion for The Who as I do:

I sit looking 'round
I look at my face in the mirror.
I know I'm worth nothing, without you.
And like one and one don't make two
one and one make one.
And I'm looking for, that free ride to me.
I'm looking for you.
                                    -Bargain-

Keep up the good work everyone!! I love hearing from you every day.
