The Who: The Kids are Alright

So in addition to scanning all those Beatle pictures, I got excited and started scanning some Who stuff.
In anticipation of my dvd, "The Amazing Journey: The story of the Who," I decided to put up some pictures from The Who: The Kids are alright.
I actuallly found the original album and as a bonus, found this great book with lots of pictures in it from the later film version.
I just picked a bunch of my favorites and I cut off a couple of pics so sorry about that!

Does anybody know what's on Pete's shirt?

Could this possibly be when the Who toured shortly as the High Numbers?

Really nice one of Pete!

I like that one of the Who in the record shop.

The Who recording. Little known fact that John played the french horn.

A Who explosion of course!

That picture of Keith walking what appears to be a stuffed toy dog makes me laugh!

Also, Wholigans there's still time to enter the Who's live in your living room contest until January 9th. The first place winner will get an autographed guitar signed by Pete. Second place winners will get an autographed 'Live at leeds...40th anniv' cd by Roger and a subscription to the Who.com.

Be sure to join thewho.com if you like, they have special packages and VIP stuff. It's $50, a bit steep but I'll be joining and you get a free t-shirt and will be known as an offical "Wholigan."
You can pre-order tickets and I'm so glad that I'll get to go to my family concert after all.
Don't forget that Rock honors are on vh1 today honoring the Who in less than an hour and 40 minutes! It's on at 9 depending on where you live!
I'm SO excited!
You can go to vh1.com and they have a facebook page and it's funny to put your picture in "Baba O'Riley." Lol. I was Roger and my boyfriend was Pete.
My favorite thing was the pinball wizard game.
Today they played the "Amazing Journey:The story of the Who" rock doc this morning on vh1 and it was fun to watch again.
It's available in stores and I recommend buying it.
If you are a casual fan, you should start out with the Who's rock opera "Tommy" and their great album "Who's next." Video-wishe "The kids are alright" is a starting point.
Long live rock!

THE WHO ARE TOURING!

I'm very excited about the Who touring. I thought that there was not going to be a tour for a while after all the stuff Pete Townshend said. He felt like he didn't want to tour w/ the old material and him and Roger were working on a new album w/ T Bone Burnett.
Two dates have only been given for the U.S. Tour.
The dates are: Nov. 8 Nokia theater, Los Angeles, CA. and Nov. 9 as well at the Nokia theater.
More dates and times haven't been announced but will and I will keep you posted.
This makes me really happy because every year my family goes to a concert and we haven't picked anyone yet so I'm hoping they come to the Palace in Detroit so we can go.
A small other reminder is that vh1 is honoring the Who at the rock honors.
That is July 17th 9/8 C. on vh1.
The Who will be performing as well as the Foo fighters, the flaming lips, Pearl Jam, Incubus, and Tenacious D. This will be interesting but I think it will be an awesome show!
Random fact about the Who:They are the loudest rock band.
