Are The Who’s Best Days Behind Them?
Posted By BillHeise on September 18, 2009
Found this article today on Yahoo about When Singers Can’t Sing Their Own Songs. It starts out with Roger Daltrey, who is mounting one last tour before his voice gives out. “‘These are the last years of my life that I can sing that material,’ he confessed.” The author confesses his love of “Quadrophenia.” But, he says, “Daltrey has already lost it.”
He gives us examples of the Who in their heyday (1982) and The Who today.
The second performance is from March of this year. No amount of reinventing the vocal melody and dropping the key can save him. It’s like watching some drunken karaoke singer destroy your favorite song.
I’ll let you decide.
