Jaimoe Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 It airs at 9pm this Thursday night.I believe this show was recorded on July 12th. Anyway, the line-up is "mostly" appropriate: Pearl Jam, The Foo Fighters, The Flaming Lips, Tenacious D (The Who always had overt comic elements)... and Incubus? I hope the crowd went "Joe Jackson opening for The Who in Toronto" on those fuckers. Roger and Pete round everything out with 8 vintage Who tunes. Zak Starkey is on drums and Paulo Palladino resumes trying to fill The Ox's shoes.Here's a link to the photos and small write-ups of the performances: http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/21798294/vh1_rock_honors_2008_pearl_jam_fWorth noting is that Supergrass' Gaz Coombes does lead vocals with The Foos on "Bargain" and The Foos do the greatest live Who song "Young Man Blues". Oh yeah, Lips drummer Kliph Spurlock destroys his kit.I would have liked to see Paul Weller somewhere on the bill and maybe some younger bands, Supergrass should have been invited as well as Oasis, but it's a decent line-up.

phishtaper Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 does anyone really care about The Who anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Seems like an entertaining line-up minus one band paying tribure to one of the most important rock bands ever. I'm interested, even if they have been on life-support since that fateful day in 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 The fucking Foo Fighters playing some Who tonight? I am all over this. Young Man Blues at that???? Wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Here's the rundown for tonight's show. I'm really excited about the Foo's set, and I'm only a casual fan of Dave and company. Anyone doing the Who's heaviest song is okay in my books.You'd think The Soundtrack of Our Lives, The International Noise Conspiracy or even The Arctic Monkeys would have been far more suitable to rip through Who tunes than the washed-up and truly awful nu-metal band Incubus.9PM start on MuchMusic (repeats at 11pm):David Duchovny (introduction)Foo Fighters – “Young Man Bluesâ€Foo Fighters with Gaz Coombes from Supergrass – “Bargainâ€Rainn Wilson (introducing the Flaming Lips) The Flaming Lips – Medley from “Tommyâ€Mila Kunis (introducing Incubus)Incubus – “I Can See for Milesâ€Incubus – “I Can’t Explainâ€Tenacious D – “Squeeze Boxâ€Sean Penn (introducing Pearl Jam)Pearl Jam – “Love, Reign O’er Meâ€Pearl Jam – “The Real Meâ€Adam Sandler (introducing The Who)The Who – “Baba O’Rileyâ€The Who – “The Seekerâ€The Who – “Who Are Youâ€The Who – “Behind Blue Eyesâ€The Who – “Two Thousand Yearsâ€The Who – “You Better You Betâ€The Who – “My Generationâ€The Who – “Won’t Get Fooled Againâ€The Who – “Tea & Theatre†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 What the hell are Two Thousand Years and Tea & Theatre?"Tea & Theatre" is a pared-down acoustic song and "Two Thousand Years" is a decent track from "The Who"'s last album, Endless Wire.

Jaimoe Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 So far so fucking good. The Foos ripped a fucking killer "Young Man Blues" and "Bargain" is almost as good with Gaz Coombes from Supergrass and Taylor sounding good on vocals.

Jaimoe Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Incubus sounded slightly better than a cover band. For the first time perhaps ever, I'm glad Noel Gallagher has lots of mic time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Bargain had a fantastic finish. Nate Mendel was killing it. I would love to see them play tons more because they were just getting warmed up, especially Taylor.And I wish Dave Grohl sang that second tune but whatya gonna do?

Jaimoe Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I had to go to bed before Pearl Jam's set, but it re-airs today at 2pm and I'm at work, so at least I'll enjoy music for once, ever so briefly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 and I'm no fan either, but maybe I should be That's what I am starting to think as well. It's high time I go see them live because that was kick-ass. Roger and Pete should have played in their spot and Pearl Jam should have closed.

Hey, why not have Roger and Pete tour The Who with PJ as their backing band! That would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
