The Who - Relay Live 2006

[gasaholic47]

I have to say, Palladino is really channeling the Ox on this one. I don't think he carries quite the same punch that Entwistle did, but on this piece he's really kicking. it. Then again, there was only one Thunderfingers...

[superreverbking]

wow! impressive.

[audiojustice]

pino palladino on bass. legend. a worthy successor to the ox.

[Pulsar205]

Some interesting solo work at around 4:55. What I like about Pete's work is his constant desire to try something new. Always pushing the envelope.

[randomdave30]

I suggest that Messrs Townsend and Daltrey will still be rocking at well into their 80s. A Knightood each wouldn't go amiss - take note PM and HMQ

[Pulsar205]

@randomdave30 A brilliant and exceptional guitarist and performer but a knight..a Defender of the Realm..a hero, come on!!!

[randomdave30]

Well, they gave Ks to Mick Jagger and Elton John and messrs Townsend and Daltrey are arguably infinitely more talented and do a lot for charity, notably the Teenage Cancer Trust.

[Pulsar205]

@randomdave30 So they give to charity. This isn't a hero; it's only doing good. Loads of us give to charity.

And none of the others deserve it either. Sickening!

[randomdave30]

Arise Sir Roger Daltrey....

Arise Sir Pete Townsend...

[Pulsar205]

@randomdave30 ..to which Townsend promptly leaps into the air swinging his arm round like a propeller :D

[OldBeethowen]

Olds but Fines !

[yanksstang02]

Er maybe this song was about communication, not spies. Not really sure now :P.

[yanksstang02]

I don't know if this was mentioned yet or not, but this song is said to almost predict the internet. Of course it came out before that and Pete I think was talking about spies or something, can't remember. But this also defines the internet so Pete again was way ahead of his time :). These guys are brilliant and that's why I love them!

[ddthorny]

@yanksstang02

C'mon, predicting the internet? Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway could mean anything. From tree to tree, from you to me?

[junttihiiri]

ahaha oh Pete :) Nice hat :) .. aww.. I was their concert in Helsinki yesterday 09.07 2007.. . Totally fucking awesome rock show I ever seen! 8)

I'm going to R0lling Stones concert too in next month, I can't wait to see them!.. :P ... Only Queen's concert missing... why he died :( ..Freddie.

When Freddie died, Queen actually died too.. But Freddie Mercury is living dead man so he must live forever! RIP Freddie. Roger D. and Pete T. you guys rock!

[wjv4me]

Thanks for this great post..love the Who!

[homendacal]

this is real music, these are real musicians! no bullshit just tryin to look good in front of the camera with a playback cd behind the stage!

[Joeey]

who knows where they found the drummer and bassist but it works real well, a nice surprise for us Who fans

[thewho6507]

The drummer is Ringo Starrs son,and he was taught by Keith which has a reason.But i can't stand that bassist

[Joeey]

yes that drummer is the first guy to bring the vibe to the band since moon departed. I wish he had showed up t twenty years earlier! kenny jones was really stiff, and in retrospect i am just not feeling that Simon guy. the really tragedy is moon going into a bad condition. tears me up really. i had to get out of rocknroll. so many deaths.

[thewho6507]

yep,thank his alcoholism fr his untimely death.i can't stand kenny jones either.Simon is the backup guitarist not bass.

[Joeey]

but a star drummer Simon Philips did a stint with the Who also.

[thewho6507]

I thought you meant Pete's brother

[Joeey]

you mean that gtr player is Pete's brother? and his name is Simon? had no idea. knew he used the kid to sing some on Iron Man.

[thewho6507]

yea it is

[Joeey]

you seen that video where daltrey talks about moon and how moon used fills? it is some good information. more did fills based on the vocal lines and did this during the verses. here it is watch?v=KLMc6J9h3mU check out what daltrey says at the console

[germurph51]

One great dance song. You can REALLY dance to RELAY. Real great funk rock. Another gem.

[wjv4me]

They should rerelease this one...it's still great! Thanks for the upload...they ROCK!

[ronniepooch]

fucking shame that rock today is overpowered by pop sugar garbage. I wish it would all go the fuck away and rock have a resurgence. There are lots of bands out there now who never get heard unless you search for them. Music companies sell us American Idols for a quick buck because kids today don't know better.

[homendacal]

I agree completely, were is real talant nowadays?

[SimonSaysBMG]

Real talent is still alive and kicking.

[ChristianPaul75]

Fantastic performance. Pino Palladino really shines on this one. Thanks for uploading!

[IvorTheEngineDriver]

I have agree with the rest of the lot: excellent treatment of this underrated gem! Plus I like the surrounding of this swiss venue.

[alexolivo]

Only band around with three generations of die hard fans. Long live the bloody Who!

[alexolivo]

This is so good I can't believe it. I wish Pete would play more leads like this one. They all sound great, how does Roger do it? His voice sounds amazing! Is the secret tea? I saw them recently at MSG and am grateful. Long live The Who!

[weird4]

This a great song, very underated single "Relay" Wish some Who Fan can upload the mimed performance of this song from Russell Harty Plus in January 1973 and the Live Vocal Alt. Mix from The Old Grey Whistle Test from 1973 if any of you guys have any of these videos please put them on !

[Galadriel1010]

The Russell Harty one is up somewhere already, the problem is that it's not synched.

[therealmikha]

Never sounded more funky!

[oberboat]

Elvis

Beatles

Stones < WHO!!!!!!!!!!!

Zeppelin  RULES!

[oberboat]

Space for who rules!

[sober8]
