Review: Watchtower's excellent Who title captures the band at a strange point, adding songs from Who By Numbers to a set already filled to the brim with early hits, Quadrophenia songs, most of Who's Next, and a good chunk of Tommy. Surprisingly, this works really well, as confessional tunes like "However Much I Booze" sound stronger next to the bluster of "Drowned," and "Dreaming From the Waist" features some wailing bass work from the late John Entwistle. Overall, this is one of the best Who live titles, and surely the best from this tour. The sound is excellent; it's hard to believe four guys could make this much noise and effectively render such diverse material. |
