Conor Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Who were fantastic. They played Baba O'Riley (as made famous by Dizzy Reed), See Me Feel Me/Listening To You, My Generation. The Kaiser Chiefs also played Pinball Wizard earlier in the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Patti Smith in Cardiff last month and at one point she mentioned she'd be tracing her ancestry to Wales and England. Cue much booing at the mention of the latter which made me laugh.

I enjoyed seeing Posh if you know what Im sayint. Liam did a fantastic job! And seeing Brain May, was sweet!

inthisriver Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 No, I agree. Although I might have put Metallica before them. I think Kiss, Metallica and U2 are the most overrated bands of all time.No, I agree. And you can throw all the bands Satanisk listed into the mix too while i'm about it.Future of the Left / McClusky are from Wales! I guess that's off topic... just saw Wales and some bands mentioned. On Topic: Congrats to the U.S basketball team for overcoming outstanding odds and snatching that gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Imagine with Lennon, Freddie Mercury commanding the singalong with such presence even in pixel form, Brian May + Roger Taylor and The Who were my personal highlights. Daltrey sounded spectacular.Also Brian May's coat is AWESOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Daltrey sounded terrific, the best he has in years. Makes me really glad I bought tickets for the upcoming Who tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
