The Who in Concert 1962-2010
I don’t where this venue is, so I can’t answer Lee Ashworth’s question:
Just wondering why there is no info on this anywhere. We took a guided tour in this canyon recently and were told about an outdoor concert held there. It was quite difficult as all the equipment and a generator had to be carried to a huge flat rock part way up the canyon. At the time this area had been taken over by group of hippies. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know, where the press conference for the NFL Super Bowl Halftime show took place? Miami? Ft. Lauderdale?
I’m looking for help. I try to add infos about members of the line-ups to the Guide. They should be listed under http://www.thewholive.de/whoiswho/ . If you have infos about musicians, pictures etc. please send them to info@thewholive.de.
Got an E-Mail, saying that The Who played the My Generation Blues at the concert in Fort Worth, March 16th 1976. The complete setlist:
I Can’t Explain, Substitute, My Wife, Baba O’Riley, Squeeze Box, Behind Blue Eyes, Dreaming From The Waist, Magic Bus, Amazing Journey, Sparks, The Acid Queen, Fiddle About, Pinball Wizard, I’m Free, Tommy’s Holiday Camp, We’re Not Gonna Take It, Summertime Blues, My Generation, Join Together, Roadrunner, My Generation Blues, Won’t Get Fooled Again
Can anyone comfirm this?
Greg Dieste sent the setlist for the show of the british Rock Symphony in Baltimore, July 17th 1998. His setlist doesn’t inlcude My Generation, so I deleted it from the show. Did they play it? Any info is welcome.
He sent the line up, too:
There’s an unknow date of The Who in Wolverhampton in 1966. It’s not listed in the Gigographie at thewho.com, but there’s an newspaper add that the band played in Wolverhampton on a Monday night:
The Who’s first appearance in Wolverhampton on Monday was an absolute gas. When I reviewed their L.P. some time ago I said they were paving the way to a new and exciting sound. Now they have obviously run a motorway over the paving. It was staggering to consider what they could do with two electric guitars and then compare it with what groups like The Shadows turn out. Keith Moon’s drumming is more like an explosion than an accompaniment“ so much so that a youth was carrying out running repairs to his kit halfway through.
You can find the article here: http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/6130-hobbstweedle/page__st__260 (scroll down to post #271).
Does anybody remember the exact date? Any help is welcome.
Greg about The Who’s show on May 19th 1969.
In your info account you say the opening act was Milkwood. Yet in the poster the name Kensington Market is very clear. Kensington Market was the name of a local Toronto rock band popular in the late 1960’s. KM is also a particular area in Toronto so that’s maybe where the confusion has occured.
Any info is welcome.
Eric Hanada is looking for another show in 1967:
I remember seeing The Who at nightclub called The Cellar in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. No tickets were sold just a cover charge.
Any help is welcome.
Paul Hocking saw The Who in 1967 or 1968. He writes:
I went to a Who concert in the “Birdcage” Portsmouth, UK. after the dates that you have for 1965 and 66. I cannot remember the exact date but as I had not met my future wife until a St Valentine’s Day party on 14th February 1967, the date of the Birdcage concert we attended therefore must have been after this date.
Can anyone confirm this date?
Got this E-Mail from Randy White about a concert in 1967.
Met a barmaid in Henry T’s bar in Topeka KS who said her mother was there. It was only 42 years ago, her mother said they set the stage on fire.
The Concert Guide lists this date as Shawnee Mission South, high school, Overland Park, Kansas.
