The Who By Numbers is such an underrated album. I think it might be better regarded if the cover was better. John Entwistle was an amazing artist - really - but that cover was very, very far from what he was capable of. Even Roger Daltrey said in an interview that he didn't like the sleeve design, and he did have a point. It's especially disappointing when you consider how great the sleeves for Tommy and Quadrophenia were.
Brilliant. The right hand/acoustic work is outstanding and captures the sonic attack and withdrawal so like Pete. Nice doubling with base to cover Moonie's sneaking some fun past Glyn Johns near close. Vocals are well done. Heart aching lead runs (that fabulous tone) are not here but the 'spirit' of the song is captured for sure.
Magnificent! Find a madman drummer and someone who can recreate Townsend's incredible lead licks on this tune and take it on the road. Do you do "Put the Money Down" from Odds and Sods?
This was a pretty basic one...just playing along to The Who track on an iPod then Eddie putting my bass onto his track. The others we've done are all recorded digitally for a good sound/mix and the vids are getting a little more ambitious too!
You ROCKED this Eddie. GREAT Who cover Bro! Love the Bass (amazing quickness) too Gareth!! 5 more Bro!! I always smile when I watch your vids main!! You ROCK the TUBE Big Eddie!!
Hey Jerry !! Thanks for taking a look...Gareth and I are pretty sick WHO freaks... we love The Mighty WHO !!.lol..glad I could make ya smile bree !!Cheers!
Just happy to know yer Happy Camping Alison!!! It is a pretty obscure one aint it ?...and that whole record is nothing but Gems that alot of people have never heard !!!a shame....a damn shame !!!
OMG, how did I miss this one! A classic and well done sir! I seriously think no one does Who like you! "..you don't know him, ah but you know what he's going through..." Love it! w00t!
Your Welcome Eddie! I also wanted to give Kudos to your awesome Keyboard sound work in this to emulate one of my all time most favorite drummers who has influenced me greatly ~ EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The WHO Man is back! Great cover, Eddie. Love how you play each one with such intensity. But I am still waiting to see that PT leap, lolol. :o) Marina
This is great! You should keep doing more of these. Putting babyshambler(user on youtube) in as a drummer aswell. Like a Who-tribute band, but never actually meeting and being on other sides of the country. How futuristic.
Thanks Swesuburan !!,..I did ask babyshambler,but got no response..so I went ahead and keyboard skinned it !!lol..actually I'm on the other side of the Atlantic ocean!!!Excellent !!
im old enough to remember when this album came out!absolultely incredible cyberjam gentlemen!!!i swear you could put this on CD and it would be a #1 hit!big time fav!wowow!!!
back for another listen.this one is incredible!and to change the capo half way thru!and pull it off!fantastic!i was raised on the Who and other great music from that era.
Thanks Dan...but look how crooked I put it on !!!LOL...I guess I'm just glad it sounded in tune !!!Oh yeah..love the classic rock !Thanks bro...I was 9 when this was put out...I didnt get into the Who until like 1980..lol !
GREAT job, guys!! Love how you make the song unique to your style and stay true to the Townsend vocals, and you can strum that guitar as good as Townsend too! Loved the bass solo and the effects worked great!
