THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Rodger Daltrey perform live in LA. ALSO just happened to see him in the parking lot after and he just happened to wink at me. So I'm thinking back to what a great show it was, how great he was ... especially as they had just got the band together and it was literally PUT TOGETHER onstage. He made it a part of the experience and was letting the audience in on it. He would say something like, "this is rough, and I'm the roughest of all of us" but he DELIVERED. That's what it comes down to. Vocally, he was on the mark with Who Are You, Magic Bus, Behind Blue Eyes and Pinball Wizard and his Cash and Taj Mahal covers were exceptional. Halfway through a set he didn't like how low the drum levels were because of the glass sound-blocker so he ordered the crew to take it down, dropping his gat down and lifting it himself. Now that's a front man.We then had after-hours at the Rainbow which is one of the best bars out here no matter which way you look at it - even if your view is up the ass. Which sometimes this dive appears to be, as always great company though. You know who you are Slim. Also, managed to shake the hand of Jimmy Page's guitar tech. Too much ...
