Another Celebration?.......2005-03-23
The concept of this is good...Roger Daltrey traveling about to do Townshend's song, especially with orchestral backing, and some guest shots.
This tour pretty much ground to a halt in the US due to low ticket sales, but when it was going had its moments.
The arrangements for the symphonies are quite good, and you hear a very different quality from some of the Who's most powerful rockers. Also, hearing Daltrey do his version of "The Sea Refuses No River," a Townshend solo track was interesting.
Pete shows up for "Who Are You," but he, Rog and Entwistle never actually get together on stage.
Another rub: the best stuff was left to the TV show! Daltrey, joined by Entwistle and Chieftains, and John's thundering acoustic bass work...why was that not here?!?
Linda Perry shows up to growl her way through "Dr. Jimmy," but that was kind of take it or leave it.
In any case, a show that started with good intent and was ground down, perhaps under the grandiose planning.
Only for those who have everything else........2001-11-22
This is a recording I'd only recommend for those who have to have everything stamped either Daltrey or WHO. The orchestra overpowers Daltrey's vocals, while Daltrey sounds as if he is suffering from a sore throat, as his voice is invariable gruff on all the selections. Guest Linda Perry sings DR. JIMMY, and she doesn't have much talent as a vocalist. Townshend himself sings lead on WHO ARE YOU, and he's a credible singer, but unfortunately he has both the advantage and disadvantage of compatriot Daltrey attaching his own (famed) signature vocal behind it. Daltrey sings lead on all the other selections. On the other hand, if you don't want to be wasting your time and money, the DVD is something I highly recommend and have written a postive review for.
surprisingly good.......2001-11-17
this is a solid effort for a 50-year-old rocker! the band is excellent, w/ the outstanding simon phillips on drums, pino palladino on bass, and the julliard orchestra directed by michael kamen. townshend and the ox make cameo appearances, as do linda perry, david sanborn, and the chieftains. the sound is carnegie hall golden, and roger sounds like he's still got some left.
