Dave Arbus, once the violin player with the band East of Eden. He famously guested with The Who on Baba O'Riley. Jules Oh, that's sad. He was my mate's landlord in Canterbury in the 80s. Had several very late pub and home afterwards sessions with him...bucket bongs et al  |

Well...I've just seen John Tams having a fag at the back of the Town Hall so I guess it is definitely happening  And Phil Beer posted a picture from inside the hall earlier too. Just got to our hotel and looking forward to it! |

There is more to this than meets the eye among rumours that Starkey will be touring with Oasis again. And for the record, Daltry was 100% on top form 18 months ago and should keep on doing right what he does best. Daltrey is a great singer. But that doesn't mean he can't be an arse. There are plenty of examples. I thought I'd read somewhere who the Oasis drummer was going to be, and it wasn't Zak (I'd assumed it would be him too)? Tbh though, after you've been in the Who for 3 decades playing in Oasis would be a bit depressing wouldn't it? Playing in Oasis would be a bit depressing whatever you had been doing for the previous 3 decades. Respectfully, I suggest that Tony McCarroll might disagree. |

Some comments from Zak and The Who here. I don't think we're getting the full story. Blaming the decision to sack him on one performance seems like a massive over-reaction IMO. There must have been more going on leading up to this.
Anyway, it says Zak has other projects to keep him busy including working with Noel Gallagher and writing his autobiography. https://www.smoothradio.com/news/music/the-who-zak-starkey-comments/ |

Just back from seeing this doc at cinema. Very good indeed. As an evocation of that time (1972) and place (N.Y.C) in the Ono/Lennon's rollercoaster lives, I doubt it will be bettered. The entire Madison Square Gardens gig may well be available to view at some point but, yes, as noted in reviews, it was frustrating that the live performances were cut short by returns to narrative. However, Mother was shown in it's entirety and worth the price of admission alone. The restored concert sound was also excellent but (as in my experience in a Vue cinema for Becoming Led Zeppelin) this (Odeon) soundtrack was also ear-splittingly loud  I really wanted to see this at the cinema but frustratingly it is not on anywhere around here apart from one showing in my home town on May 16 when I am already booked to go and see Daphne's Flight on their farewell tour. I am looking forward to seeing it this evening at the Phoenix Picture House in Oxford. Just looking at the website seating plan though, it appears not many tickets have been sold so far, which is a real shame...  Maybe more will turn up and buy a ticket at the box office, just like in the old days...  |

I also think Zac can’t really be the issue. Any drummer positioned behind Roger on stage with a full kit is going to be problematic given Roger’s hearing. I have seen many performers move the kit to side stage, I presume for this reason. Also, Roger toured last year with no drummer, and Pete experimented with percussion, only, all the way back in 1998. People are speculating about Zac’s replacement, but maybe there will be no full-trap drummer at all in the future.

Just had a look at the details of the Horslips BBC set just posted on FB and I am underwhelmed. I love the More Than You Can Chew box and most of the extra discs in that box get played regularly, but most of this just doesn't seem all that special IMHO. What say the rest of you thinking about it? I'm excited about it. I have never seen any of the material on the DVD or heard the early radio sessions & I don't have a physical copy of the concert with the orchestra (just a download) so I will be very happy to have all that stuff (though I concede the bonus audio disc is a slightly strange inclusion, more of an omission from the earlier box) and it is not overpriced for what it is, unlike some forthcoming box sets I could mention. |
