Who?

Last Thursday I grabbed a last minute ticket to see the second to last date of The Who’s farewell tour, The Song is Over, at Climate Pledge Arena. I had thought about going with my dad but since he was out of town and I knew this would be a last chance to ever see them live, I decided to go.

I had often heard a few of their hits on regular rotation as a kid listening to my dad’s usual classic rock radio station selection in the car, but it wasn’t until the mid-2000s and Radio Paradise that I found I really liked Quadrophenia and the whole rock opera concept in general.

The show rocked. Obviously Daltrey and Townsend are quite old (in their 80s!) and don’t have their younger voices anymore but it was still great. It’s wild to imagine a current touring artist like Taylor Swift touring in 2070 when she’d be their age. I think I brought down the average age of the audience quite a bit, although I am at least past the Grey Line. The Times felt similarly.

I’ve gotten used to being the masking odd one out at work and most other public places, but I’m always surprised how few people use ear protection at concerts. I used Andrle’s Loop earplugs since I didn’t want to look like I wasn’t listening to concert while using AirPods in noise canceling mode, Marco-style.

I’ll try to upload some longer videos after I fix my WordPress setup.

The Real MeTownsend can still pinwheelFarewell from the crowd

I had never heard of the Seattle-local opener, Candlebox, but they brought a grungy hard rock sound that I enjoyed. Unfortunately the crowd was still filing in so they didn’t get a ton of the sought for audience interaction.

Queensrÿche’s Empire told a story. Candlebox’s Stand shouted into the void. A masterclass in how to (and how not to) write a protest anthem.

STAND (2008): Candlebox’s Failed Attempt at Arena Rock Activism

As much as I’ve always enjoyed Candlebox, I simply cannot “Stand” for this bullshit. Singer/songwriter Kevin Martin clearly intended for this track to be the “Empire” to their Queensrÿche — and whi…

El álbum recopilatorio Vértigo (1995) me encanta sobremanera, lo tengo entre mis preferidos junta con la banda sonora del Cuervo.
Muchas veces los confundo.

Before you continue

As much as I’ve always enjoyed Candlebox, I simply cannot “Stand” for this bullshit. Singer/songwriter Kevin Martin clearly intended for this track to be the “Empire” to their Queensrÿche, and while both bands hail from the Seattle metropolitan area, any resemblance pretty much ends there.
