tangy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 http://www.vh1.com/shows/events/rock_honors/_2008/ The Who, Flaming Lips, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam etc. Anyone else check this out? I think I have seen most of now and by ans large its good and I am not the biggest The Who fan. That said, alot of their music was burned into my brain at a young age and I am familar with most of their music and really enjoyed the show. The Pearl Jam performance of Love Reigh o'er Me was incredible and the highlight for me. I actually thought they sounded better than The Who themselves. Anyways check it out on VH1 ar at the link above- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelersFreak1 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I thought the Foo Fighters were really good, Pearl Jam was very good as well. And of course, The Who were great, I just wish VH1 could've aired all 8 songs they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was completely impressed by Eddie Vedders vocals though and thought it was the best of the night. Rogers voice seemed a little weak by comparison. You can see the performance at the VH1 link or I would guess they will be airing it all weekend long. I saw parts of it again this morning. The Who probably should of disbanded after Moons death and certainly after Entwistles death. I think Entwistle was my favorite member of the who.

In all fairness to Roger, he is probably 25 years older then Vedder and his voice has probably seen more wear and tear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've seen bits and pieces of it. Tenacious D was brilliant and hilarious as always. I saw The Who doing My Generation, and honestly, I didn't think it sounded very good at all vocally. Perhaps it's time Roger Daltry stuck to doing infomercials.

Roger didn't sound that great from the little snippet I saw. Maybe if they'd done it a few years earlier it would have been better, and if they'd done it in 2000 John Entwhistle would still be around.
