Video of Week: Cheap Trick - That 70's Show (In the Street)

Who?

What so great about the Who?....ok so maybe they have 5 great songs and maybe, just maybe 5 ok songs out of their entire catalog. I watched a recent concert of theirs on cable and a lot of it was a bunch of mish mash waiting for the great ones. The concert itself was ok. Looked pretty recent. Roger didn't look so good. Pete tried to do his patented windmill strokes on his guitar during Babe O'Riley, but at his age he might want to be careful.

5 great:
1. Baba O'Riley
2. Who Are You?
3. Won't Get Fooled Again
4. Behind Blue Eyes
5. Eminence Front

5 Ok:
1. My Generation
2. I Can't Explain
3. Love Reign O'er Me
4. Sqeeze Box (maybe)
5. You Better You Bet (maybe)

Other than that, just a bunch of mish mash. Too folksy to be called "the loudest band in the world"..what because they can turn their amps up on squeeze box? No disrespect but hello overrated. They were good for an occasional anthem but not enough substance in the rest of the works.
