Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 A question. The Who are touring this summer (and then releasing a new album hopefully this fall) and I may be able to go, but I may prefer to go see a different concert instead. So a question to anyone who’s seen them in the past few years....how are they live anymore? I’ve struggled to find many reviews, and I’m really curious about what the general reception to them has been on their past few tours. Any big complaints? Any big compliments? Can Roger still sing Love Reign O’er Me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 EP, which bands are your other options if you don't go see The Who? This is my opinion only (obviously) but .................. the present Who is only half a Who - it's not really The Who anymore. I don't know how much money the tickets are going for, but if your other option(s) is for an intact band, I would go see that band. Again, just my two cents and what I would do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only other serious consideration so far is Judas Priest. A bit cheaper but a bit farther too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 You know I'm a HUGE Who fan but I'm passing on this show ( ummm, maybe I'll go at the last minute ). A symphonic tour ? It doesn't grab me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I saw them in Summer of 2017. I got lawn seats and was very happy for that price. I think Roger was having a better night than previous years where he's sounded like garbage. But it could also be some bias because I was there and wasn't listening to the band through very critical ears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Everyone in Judas Priest can still hear what they're playing. I would go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I saw them in 2006 and Roger's voice was shot even back then. I haven't seen any recent footage but can't imagine he's suddenly gotten better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I saw them in Summer of 2017. I got lawn seats and was very happy for that price. I think Roger was having a better night than previous years where he's sounded like garbage. But it could also be some bias because I was there and wasn't listening to the band through very critical earsI saw them in Vegas same summer and a year earlier as well and was very impressed with Roger's voice both times, especially on Love Reign O'er Me. He killed it both times on that song. Since according to the post above his voice was shot in '06 perhaps he took steps to get it back to a reasonably good level. As a disclaimer I will mention I had never seen them previously so take my opinion as such. Edited April 20, 2019 by driventotheedge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Everyone in Judas Priest can still hear what they're playing. I would go with them. Thing is my dad is busy the day JP are playing, so I'd have to go with someone else. Also they're playing like 4 hours away at the closest they get, which isn't terrible but doesn't make me feel like driving back home after the concert...idk. Still leaning towards The Who if I can only see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I'm seeing The Who in SF on Oct 9th and passing on backstage passes to see Armored Saint open for UFO! I'm a Who guy first! I have to see Pete one last time! New album?? SWEET!!!! I want Pete to call up Simon Phillips after this Who Tour and do one last solo album too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This can't be the real Who??!! I went to their farewell tour in 1980. Imposters!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I agree with Lorraine here. It's the Roger & Pete show. Not necessarily a bad thing, of course. It is much like Brian May & Roger Taylor touring with anybody and calling it Queen. It might make for an amazing evening, but it most certainly is not Queen. That being said, I also agree with Ramer the Third, an opportunity to see Mr. Townshend should always be seriously considered. And finally, in answer to the OP question... ...I wouldn't fancy a four hour drive after a rock show, so my vote (for you) is for you and Mr. Amps to go to the Roger and Pete Show, you may never get another chance. The way Judas Priest is playing and recording it is looking like they will go rocking forever... ...thankfully so I might add. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
