Alright, I got bored this afternoon and decided to do a little soundclipstravaganza.

http://www.corbettcyr.com/Personal/Dave/townshend_sounds.wmv

The file is 15 megs but you should be able to stream it. Or download it. Either way.

The videocamera was clipping out a little on the audio, so that gave everything a kind of shimmery high-end clippy sound that the mp3 compression made kind of worse. Once you tune that out, it sounds alright.

Oh yeah- and the guitar doesn't sustain quite as well as that video would indicate. That was the camera's compressor/limiter trying to level everything out. But it is outstandingly sustain-y.

Oh yeah- and I'm not a fantastic guitar player, so go easy on that aspect of it. :tongue:

Cool, thanks for doing that!

Now let's hear some "Live At Leeds" stuff on that bad boy! :smile:

Now let's hear some "Live At Leeds" stuff on that bad boy! :smile:

I'm sure this is blasphemous, but I've never even heard Live at Leeds. I like the Who, but haven't really got into them as much as I probably could. It's the guitar that I really liked, not really that it's a Townshend one.

Nice. At times it sounds like Pete's tone in 'Won't Get Fooled Again"

(The opening song for every episode of CSI?:Miami)

It definitely sounds like his tone. If I had recorded that clip with a proper mic, it would probably be a lot clearer. Unfortunately, I lent my sm-57 to a friend and had to rely on the videocamera mic.

"Live At Leeds" is definitely worth checking out - one of THE great live albums in my opinion. If you get a chance, grab the Live at The Isle of Wight DVD. Their playing and setlist is fairly similar to Leeds as the festival was only six months later. Here's a sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olcWoPYbf7g

I think if I could pick only one Who album it'd be "Who's Next" with "LAL" being a close second. I'd miss all the early mod-era hits though. :smile:
