Yah, I saw the first "post-Keith" show and I thought Jones was excellent. Of no one could ever replicate the ferocity and manic energy of Keith Moon but KJ did as well as anyone could have expected. It was one of the greatest rock shows I've ever seen. |

That said, though, there isn't any question that Zak is the best fit on drums that the Who has had since Moonie died —- in fact I just watched his performance with the Who at the 9/11 show in NYC and was once again blown away by his playing on Won't Get Fooled Again, which is in many ways better than I ever saw Uncle Keith do it.

Classic.
My uncle gave me Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy (on 8-track tape!) when it came out in 1971.
I was in junior high .... it took my musical tastes in a different direction, for sure.

This collection may be from 1972, but the song is from 1965.

"Hope I die before I get old."
One of the great lines in the history of Rock & Roll!
Of course it sounds a lot better when you're 16 than, um . . . old(er).

I am guessing they will play this at the superbowl halftime show. Won't get fooled again as a closer. Maybe Baba O'Reily? Looking forward to it!
The bass on this is magical. RIP John.

I could be wrong. . . I bet there are other answers, but I like this one. |
