The Who still ROCK!

Posted over 5 years ago
So, I headed up to Baltimore over the weekend to catch the Virgin Festival, and, I must say, it was a pretty damn good show. The highlight of the festival was, of course, seeing The Who (The Two?) perform. Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend still have what it takes. I was a little wary about seeing them - afraid they might disappoint - but my fears were unfounded. They played a blistering set, hitting their stride right out of the gates. Roger was in fine voice, and Pete played the hell out of his guitar. They simply sounded fantastic. And they looked like they were having a great time, too. It was one of the more joyous musical experiences I've had, watching these legends who haven't missed a step, backed by a great group of musicians, and surrounded by a crowd (of all ages) that was clearly digging every note and chord. Good times, indeed.Roger Daltry doing what he does bestOther highlights of the day for me included The Drive-By Truckers, The New Pornogrpahers, The Raconteurs, and The Flaming Lips.The folks a Virgin did a bang-up job of organizing the event and keeping everything running smoothly. Hopefully, they'll come back to the States again next year.

  2. holyfool says I concur. The Who fuckin ROCKED it! But my personal highlight was the Flaming Lips. They completely blew me away. And I got to see John Frusciante sing a cover of "Tiny Dancer" before I left. I had wanted to catch the Drive By Truckers, but we got there too late...
