Im guessing you know by now but any way it's Porrohman

[jon3m2007]

Look on Stuarts face when they said - Ain't gonna have to tour "England 4 a while" - All that record company shite must be horrible 4 bands?!

[japan906]

Salud from Japan! Michael Harry Lara and you can Facebook me on that too.

[jon3m2007]

I wish I had mate - I bought the crosing Lp - then got side tracked by metal - Just realising how much I missed - This was one fantastic band!

The CEO of Facebook wasn't even born when "In a Big Country" came out.

Entwistle was only allowed 1 song on Tommy (a double album), and that was UNCLE ERNIE, in 1970 John released his own songs on first of many solo L.P's "MAD DOG", in the 60's he wrote great WHO songs, BORIS the SPIDER, WHISKEY MAN, Dr.JEKYL and Mr. HYDE. Name me some Entwhistle songs on a WHO album after Quadrophenia.

[LBjim]

Entwhistle best song is"Trick Of The Light" on "Who Are You"...

[locheelad2]

I forgot trick, still best songs are personal, heard Whiskey Man from 67?

[LBjim]

Whiskey Man is cool....

[locheelad2]

Yeah man and funny, we better get back to the great Big Country. Porrohman was my very young daughter's favorite, kid's can be insightful, I liked the obvious hits first, Porrohman would blow people away if it came out in 2025 A.D., Stuart=Genius

[locheelad2]

songwriter gets 90% of money.....Stuart credited royalties to whole band, what a guy ! Townsend stopped Entwhistle songs after Tommy, got greedy for royalties, I loved ya Pete, but how much is enough ?

[daveniner]

Not true, entwistle had songs on every album up til the 80s.

[manguy2000]

Is there a more recent documentary though? That goes through most of their career?

[moynes10]

what a player,and no longer around,...ah fuck it,ain't life shit sometimes?

[Derschlimm]

This is amazing stuff ! Still love the band, Stuart God rest him is still an idol of mine. Can anyone tell me the name of the first song in this clip is called ? (Not harvest home, The intro to the concert clip). Thanks folks.

I watched this when it first aired nearly 25 years ago and BC have been my band ever since. First time I've ever seen it since. Brought tears of happiness to my eyes. I'm seeing the boys in Bristol again tomorrow night. Hope Stuart's watching.
