Yes! The 1979 Who shows have been criminally under appreciated. The horn section was a welcome addition. My only complaint is that they didn't use any material from New York City, if those tapes exist. Those shows were more adventurous and they even covered the Sex Pistols' "Pretty Vacant."

That's clearly a sign to wait until the next version.

Great article. Rather unique version of the vinyl.

William S. Burroughs's cut-up novels make more sense than that paragraph.

Hence the song "Fancy." See the Orville Peck version for a powerful example.

Thank you! I’m really glad that you enjoyed it.

As much as I enjoy Lindsey's songwriting and musicianship, I don't think I would take relationship advice from him.

That Sunny Day Real Estate album is so good.

The James Iha's song "Said Sadly...," which was somehow was left off Mellon Collie and relegated to a B-side, is worth seeking out.

The singer Orville Peck just announced that he is two years sober today, so he started a day before you!

True, but it does sum things up nicely.

Until they started editing out the "too much of that goddamn snow white" line beginning with the 1999 reissue.

If only the Stones had leaned in harder to disco. All we have are a few great songs like this one and "Dance Pt. 1" and a giant missed opportunity.

It’s a fantastic festival and really well run. Definitely worth going to if you get the chance.
