I was there. Fond memories. Moved out to TO fresh from London and the Quadrophenia scene (apres punk). Wonderful. Still got my Parka. Got so many women in TO in the 80's. "I just LOVE your British accent". Good times.
The audio over 'who are you' is not live- its from the 'kids are alright' movie where the who jam over the backing tapes! Wee bit obsessive i know lol
yes it is the new music with JD Roberts or John Roberts as now of CNN, i remember with this show was my only connection to the music world, it just got cancelled about 5 years ago, much music not smart enough to have such a great show about music.
It's great to see this old New Music footage after all these years. I was at the July 16 1980 CNE show and still have the t-shirt hanging in the closet. Nash The Slash opened the day's events followed by J Geils Band and Heart.
@john683011 No. they only did the expanded chorus aftr moonie died. So on stage '79 onwards. The 'Tales of the Who' Bootleg is from Philli '73 (I think recorded for King Biscuit's Flower Hour???) and is the standard I Can't Explain as played through the whole Moon/4 piece period. It is an interesting expansion on the chorus, it's just Rabbit's organ really bugs me!
Definitely a Schecter. Pete started playing them in 1979 after Alan Rogan bought a couple at Rudy's Music in NYC and brought them to one of the MSG shows, and Pete liked them so much they became his main axes. At that point, he was still using the Les Pauls for the capo songs (ie Drowned, 5:15, and Baba O'Riley), but 80-82 it was Schecters all the way, though some of them were built from Schecter parts by a UK luthier named Roger Griffin.
This looks like its from a show that used to air in Toronto called "The New Music". The male cohost/narrator is JD Roberts, who ditched the initials and became John Roberts...currently a CNN anchor., formerly CBS I think
my dad showed me a photo album and it was pictures from this concert, ticket stub too.

Interesting way of expanding the chorus on "I Can't Explain". Nice footage. I love that Schecter guitar.

They used to do that version of the chorus a lot in the '70s. For a recorded example, lsten to Tales of the Who...

pete is playing a fender and john is playing an alembic... either your mistaken or im missing something...
profjohnfrinks 3 years ago
Check Pete's equipment during the years over the web, it's well documented. I know, those are made intentionally to fool the eye ;D
Papatorrejano 3 years ago
i guess i was missing something... that pete is a tricksy fellow...
im a bass player anyways, so im more concerned with that sick alembic...
profjohnfrinks 3 years ago 2
Well, you're lucky then.
In the who, I always though that John had the coolest instruments! :D

again they spell John's last name Entwhistle
when it's supposed to be Entwistle and Kenneys
name is spelled kenny according to them.
dbrowngtown 4 years ago
Well, the name Kenny is usually spelled with only one e. As for Entwistle, I guess most people just don't realize there's no h in The Ox's surname

According to Richard Barnes book Maximum R&B, Pete was completely coked out and a bit out of control on the Concord flight home after this very show.
