The Who at the Amex?

[Lincoln Imp]

I was in a boozer in Hassocks once when The Who were playing downstairs. People came out saying they weren't very good so I went for a curry at the Taj Mahal in Ship Street instead.

Presumably the Ultra Club at the Downs Hotel in Keymer ?? . One of Mid Sussex's forgotten venues - did you see any other bands there ? .

The closure of the Kicking Donkey was a tragic loss for the beer (and cider) drinkers of Sussex. A pub like no other. And, yes, it was possible to sit in there, enjoying a conversation with Mr Daltrey, as I can vouch. They used to grow hops in the field over the road.

...And I was in the pub one Sunday evening with my mum and dad, early '80's. and the elderly landlord (Nelson??) started to play tunes on an equally elderly electric organ to the delight of the locals! Pub long closed I believe.

I was told by someone who knows him he backcombs his hair and wears the full make most of the time, this could of course be village gossip

But what about Robert Smith?

Many youngsters now associate The Who with the theme tunes for CSI : Las Vegas , CSI : Miami and CSI : New York

My daughter 'discovered' The Who precisely because of this. She is very excited that they might be playing at the Amex.

Can I just say thats its not really the who.

Its Daltrey and "whens the book?" Pete. Playing who songs.

Its like Paul and Ringo getting together and saying "The Beatles"

Incorrect, lead singer lead guitarist & songwriter (Lennon not Starr) It IS analogy wrong

 

[Vegas Seagull]

So did I. I took my father with me who first started seeing The Who when they used to play at The Florida Rooms as The High Numbers back in the '60s. Anyone else remember this?

They first started playing as The Who then changed to The High Numbers only for a couple of months then went BACK to The Who, not many will have seen them first in those 2 months over their 50 year career

I dont recall him mentioning this but I can ask him. I recall he used to hang out in the back room of The Bath Arms and there was a cafe in The Lanes called The Lorelei. Do these mean anything to you?

The Bath Arms back room had a Table Tennis table, a pinball machine & a bar Billiards table & ancient lino on the floor AND would serve lager to 15 year olds (with my older mates).. Wonderful place

Or if they don't watch crap American TV they might associate the band name with a police caution for attempting to access indecent images.

Research purposes only!!

TLO will go into meltdown. Which won't be a pretty sight

I went into introspective meltdown when I heard about this a couple of weeks ago.

Wasn't a pretty sight.

Classic. McVicar?

My cousin played the flute on Daltrey's McVicar album. For what it's worth, he lived in Saltdean. And Dave Mattacks, one of the drummers on McVicar, played with Fairport Convention and the Albion Band's Ashley Hutchings ... who once lived between Etchingham and Burwash. Mattacks used to live in Haywards Heath.

It's a small world.

 

[Notters]

The Who and Pearl Jam together please

 

[clapham_gull]

Be Lucky...

It's what Mr Daltrey used to say to us after we'd filled his car up with petrol. Always.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Can't wait if true.

I notice Who's Who (tribute band) on facebook posted a story that the Who may well be announcing a UK stadium tour this week and performing at the Amex.
They lifted the photo of the programme feature from Saturdays game.

Since we arrived at the Amex, the fans have been shouting for this pretty much every home game, typically 2 or 3 times, mainly in the 2nd half.
