104 The Who, part 1
Our first show dedicated to The Who, an iconic English band that we have not featured before – I can’t think why.
We focussed on the Keith Moon years, when the founding members of the group were all together. There is so much good music from this period of the group’s life that choosing a 2 hour set was pretty difficult. I chose to emphasise the role that Lifehouse, the unrealised followup to Tommy, played in the success of the group, and played tracks released on later albums and singles in the order they would have appeared. Researching the Lifehouse concept and the plot that was to be played out brought new light, for me, on the lyrics in the many ex-Lifehouse songs that were to feature so brilliantly in later albums and singles.
