Same with the vinyl at home. "Shakin all Over" was one of the first 5 songs I learned on bass. Got the remastered CD (with the rest of the show added) about 10 years ago. Vinyl version started with "Young Man Blues" which is as great of a way to start an album as any but to get the CD and hear that thunderous version of "Heaven and Hell" kick off the proceedings was a revelation.
Speechless indeed.
Long Live the Ox! |

Long Live the Ox! | Sadly, I'd been playing about 10 years before I first heard it in the mid nineties. For the first few times I listened to it I thought they had a rhythm guitarist, until I realised it was all Entwistle...

| | | | Great live disc!!!!
The Who's box set (Thirty Years of Maximum R&B) is also amazing, and has many live cuts and most of the studio stuff. The opening cut of the box set is perfect... Townsend just cussing out a crowd in the 60's for not paying attention to the music. Pure rock and roll... he just blasts them. Hilarious! |

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | I always thought the Ox was a pretty good bassist, but I wasn't overwhelmed. After this CD, I'd realized that I was indeed, an idiot!
