I'd say they're hit & miss 'live'. I saw them a few yrs back when they were performing albums in their entirety (I went to the 'Royal Scam' & 'Aja' nights)
@ the Gibson Amphitheater here in L.A. (a venue that is sadly gone now) and both nights they sounded great and were really into their performances.

I saw them last year @ the Nokia Theater and felt like they were just phoning it in. They didn't even do a single encore. That's right, finished the last song, said good night, and walked off stage. It was weird.

I haven't listened to Tommy in way too long. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks.

I have at least three copies on vinyl and a quad 8-track set but can't remember if I have the CD. Will have to do some digging and see if I can find the CD in my collection. If I don't have it, gotta buy it.

heya, edgez...i know you dig the who from reading previous threads...one of my two all-time fave albums/combo is WHOS NEXT paired with SUPERTRAMP'S CRIME OF THE CENTURY...when i taped it, i had to add 'eminence front' and 'join together w/the band' to complete the most perfect and one of the most important lps of their's and the early 70's.

and, i've reordered some more SUPERTRAMP, and, specifically, their 9 minute plus jam of 'another man's woman'...COTC is a masterpiece...

Didn't find the CD but I must have it somewhere as I found a stack of DVDRs labeled "Rips Of My CDs xx of yy" with the image files. Luckily, the albums were on the DVDs in alphabetical order so all I had to do was flip to the discs with the W's. Now I need to find some bell-bottoms and tie-dyed t-shirts.

I've really enjoyed hearing these old tunes again. I've never been a big fan of either group (a bit too "arty" for my taste ... but both have songs in my Top 1000 Rock Songs list) so I haven't Liked very many of them, but it's a nice trip down memory lane. Thanks and keep 'em comin', onzedge.

for STEELY fans i highly recommended walter's 11 STACKS 0' WAX...for me, the best overall music of the bunch...

any opinions?

SouthArk370Z

Sounds like we have similar taste in music. At the least, there is a lot of overlap.

BTW, Tumbleweed Connection is one of my all-time favorite albums, artistically, but the production is some of the worst I've heard.

that's a shame you don't enjoy this seminal "western-classic" as penned by englishmen, no less, to it's full extent...i think i've kept buying the cd's as they've been remastered and "improved"...i may even have the mobil fidelity gold release thou that's never been a sonic upgrade to my ears on ANY of that company's discs---go figure...sigh...

Well, I couldn't find my CD but I did manage to find a rip (44.100 Hz/16 Bit; WAV/FLAC) I did with EAC (2 tracks show 99.9% quality, rest 100%). Folder was labeled "Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection (1970) (MFSL)" so I'm assuming it's a Mobile Fidelity Sounds Labs disc but I really don't remember spending the extra $$ for a copy of this album.

Yep. Something just doesn't sound right. The mids and highs sound pretty good (for 1970 analog recordings) but the low end sounds "muddy" to me. I'm still sitting here tapping my feet and singing along with a sh*t-eating grin on my face. Lot's of good memories.
